An injection device (210； 1 10) is provided that includes a damping element (225；125) which acts between a syringe carrier (222； 122) and a sleeve (219； 1 19) tocushion the impact as they come into contact, thereby reducing the transmissionof energy from the impact to the components of a drive (230, 231, 232, 234； 130,131, 132, 134) and preventing their fracture. The damping element (225； 125)also reduces the noise, which may be distressing to a user of the device (210； 110),produced when the syringe carrier (222； 122) and the sleeve (219； 1 19) come intocontact and reduces the pain suffered by a user upon operation of the device (210；110).
