Why Regular Inspection of Rubber Buffer Springs Beats Emergency Repairs‌

Rubber buffer springs don't fail all at once. They degrade over months. A monthly check for the signs above — with the screen off and springs unloaded — takes ten minutes but can prevent a day-long shutdown. Measure the free height of each spring and compare it to the original spec; more than a 10% reduction means it's time for a replacement.‌
