A rubber shock
absorber consist of a shock absorbing device body which is made of elastic
material and mounted in a shock absorbing device. It is designed to absorb
pressure when its exposed to device. The device consist of many sections
with different diameters and different elastic coefficients. The body of the
device has an elastic coefficient which varies in several stages. Rubber
shock absorber are used both for automobiles or vehicles and machines.
Automotive Rubber Shock Absorber
Rubber shock absorber used in automobiles or heavy vehicles are helps in
the protection of instruments from vibration and shock. They absorb large
amount of kinetic energy that generates from impact. These shock absorbers
are utilized usually as end-stops on trucks and cranes.
Machine Rubber Shock Absorber
The machine shock absorber too works on the same principle that is, it too
absorbs the kinetic energy and dissipate it in the form of heat thereby
preventing the machine from the excessive shocks and recoil forces.
General Features of Machine Rubber Shock Absorber
Some of the general features of the machine rubber shock absorber are:
- Excellent durability
- Resistant to aging
- Good flexibility
- Electric insulation is good
- Resistant against flame
- Resistant to hot and cold temperature
- Safe operation
