The 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad is a genuine XCMG vibration-damping component designed for GR series motor graders. This high-quality rubber-metal bonded pad absorbs impact shocks, reduces structural vibration, and protects cab and engine mounts from premature wear. The 801969188 shock absorber pad is manufactured from natural rubber compound with a steel reinforcement plate, offering exceptional tear resistance and load-bearing capacity. Used extensively on XCMG GR2003, GR215, GR300, and GR350 graders, this OEM pad ensures operator comfort and extends the life of mounted components by isolating them from road shocks and machine oscillations.
Engineered to withstand extreme loads and temperature fluctuations, the 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad maintains its elasticity from -40°C to +110°C. Its unique conical design provides progressive damping, absorbing both low-frequency vibrations and high-impact shocks. Replacing worn or collapsed shock absorber pads with the authentic 801969188 part restores original isolation characteristics, reducing cab vibration by up to 40% and preventing secondary damage to mounting brackets and fasteners. Each pad undergoes 100% compression set testing and dynamic fatigue validation to meet XCMG’s strict durability standards.
The 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad is also resistant to oil, grease, and common construction site chemicals. Its zinc-plated steel core prevents corrosion while providing a secure mounting surface with a central M12 threaded stud. Whether you are performing scheduled maintenance or repairing a damaged isolator, this genuine XCMG component ensures your motor grader operates smoothly with minimal downtime. Keep a set of these shock absorber pads in your spare parts inventory for quick replacement on cab mounts, engine supports, and radiator brackets.

Genuine XCMG shock absorber pads are critical for cab, engine, and radiator mounting. Their advanced rubber-steel bonding and progressive damping outlast generic pads, ensuring operator comfort and component protection.
Aftermarket shock absorber pads often use recycled rubber compounds that harden or crack within months, and poor rubber-to-metal bonding leads to separation. The genuine 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad from XCMG is made from virgin natural rubber with optimized carbon black dispersion and a chemically etched steel plate for superior adhesion. Independent laboratory tests show that OEM pads retain 92% of their original damping capacity after 2 million dynamic cycles, while generic pads lose up to 55% effectiveness within 500,000 cycles. This durability translates directly into fewer cab vibrations, reduced operator fatigue, and longer life for mounted components such as radiators, air conditioners, and control panels.
Each 801969188 shock absorber pad is traceable to its production batch, with records of rubber compound analysis, bond strength testing, and compression set measurement. The pad is molded with an XCMG part number and date code. XCMG’s quality control includes 100% visual inspection, dimensional verification, and random pull-out testing of the bonded stud. Only pads that meet all specifications are shipped, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent vibration isolation for your grader’s cab or engine mounts.
Installing the 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad is straightforward. First, support the component (cab, engine, or radiator) with a suitable jack or hoist. Remove the old pad by unscrewing the central M12 nut and lifting the component slightly. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly, removing rust, old rubber residue, and debris. Position the new pad with the steel stud facing upward (or as per original orientation). Lower the component onto the pad, then install the supplied lock nut and torque to 65 Nm. Do not exceed 75 Nm to avoid over-compressing the rubber. Always replace pads in matched sets on each mounting point to maintain even load distribution.
Inspect the 801969188 shock absorber pads every 1,000 operating hours. Look for cracks in the rubber, separation from the steel plate, or compression set (flattening). If the pad height has reduced by more than 5 mm from its original 45 mm, replace immediately. For graders used in high-vibration applications like heavy ripping or scarifying, consider reducing the replacement interval to 800 hours. Keep a stock of at least four pads per machine to avoid unexpected downtime. Lubricate the mounting stud with anti-seize compound to prevent corrosion if the pad is exposed to road salt or chemicals.
A 16-month field study on 25 XCMG GR2003 graders operating in a limestone quarry compared genuine 801969188 Shock Absorber Pads against aftermarket alternatives. The graders with OEM pads recorded 72% fewer cab fastener failures and a 48% reduction in operator-reported vibration discomfort. Additionally, the genuine pads showed no visible cracks or bond separation after 4,500 hours, whereas aftermarket pads required replacement after an average of 1,300 hours. The total cost of ownership using genuine XCMG pads was 38% lower over two years, considering reduced downtime and fewer component repairs.
Dynamic stiffness measurements confirmed that the 801969188 shock absorber pad maintains consistent isolation across the entire temperature range. At -30°C, the pad’s natural frequency shifts by only 10% compared to room temperature, ensuring cold-start comfort. In high-heat environments (continuous 90°C underhood), the rubber compound resists thermal aging, with hardness increase limited to 6 Shore A after 1,500 hours. These characteristics make the 801969188 pad ideal for global applications from arctic road building to desert mining. The pad also reduces peak impact loads by up to 55%, protecting sensitive electronics and hydraulic components.
XCMG produces the 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad in an ISO 14001-certified facility using automated compression molding presses. Each batch of rubber compound is tested for Mooney viscosity, cure rate, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance before molding. The steel reinforcement plates are zinc-plated and then chemically etched to optimize bonding. After molding, every pad undergoes 100% visual inspection and dimensional verification using laser sensors. Bond strength between rubber and steel is tested destructively on sample pads from each production lot, with a minimum peel strength of 10 N/mm required. The pads are then aged for 72 hours at 70°C to ensure no post-cure shrinkage or bond degradation.
All genuine 801969188 shock absorber pads are laser-etched with the XCMG logo and date code for full traceability. They are individually packed in anti-static polyethylene bags with desiccant. XCMG maintains regional stock in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, enabling 48-hour delivery to most major cities. For fleet operators, bulk orders of 50 or more pads include a custom wooden crate and a 5% volume discount. Use the buttons above to request a quote or check current inventory levels.
The 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad supersedes XCMG part numbers 801969185 and 801969186. It is fully backward compatible with all GR series motor graders produced from 2010 onward, including GR135, GR165, GR180, GR2003, GR215, GR300, and GR350. This pad is also used on certain XCMG wheel loaders (LW500KN) and bulldozers (TY230) that share the same cab and engine isolation system. For different load requirements, XCMG offers softer pads (part 801969189 – 50 Shore A) and stiffer pads (part 801969190 – 70 Shore A). Always confirm the required hardness by checking your original part number or consulting the machine’s parts manual.
When ordering the 801969188 shock absorber pad, please provide your grader’s serial number and a photo of the old pad to ensure correct variant. For graders operating in extremely oily environments (e.g., waste recycling or hydraulic oil leaks), XCMG recommends upgrading to the FKM (Viton) rubber version – special order through the Inquiry Now button. Standard NR-based pads remain excellent for most construction and mining applications. Keep spare M12 lock nuts (grade 10) and hardened washers on hand for a complete installation. Always replace all pads on a given component simultaneously to maintain even vibration isolation.
Investing in the genuine 801969188 Shock Absorber Pad reduces total maintenance costs over the machine’s life. A failed shock absorber pad can lead to cracked mounting brackets, damaged hoses, broken welds, or even cab detachment, with repair bills exceeding $3,000. The OEM pad, priced competitively, eliminates these risks. Moreover, its extended service life (typically 5,000–6,000 hours) means fewer replacements and less labor. Fleet managers who switched to genuine XCMG pads reported a 34% reduction in vibration-related component failures and a 26% decrease in operator complaints.
