A Design Study in Steel - Spokane Industries Steel Snubber Arm

Snubber Arm -- Description

P&H Mining uses a hydraulic damping control system, called SnubRite®, on all its electric power shovels. This patented device 
is self-contained and uses a cushion of oil to dampen door travel. Two damping controls are used, one on each side of the dipper.

Dipper Door SnubRite® Damper

The snubber arm is part of the dipper damping system. It is the steel arm that connects the door swing linkage to the rotary damper mechanism.
