Rubber Based Products in Automotive Industry
Bushing is used to minimize vibration in machines. It provides an interface between two points. Rubber bushes are used at the place between the two metals to allow movement of the metal and minimizes the vibration occurred due to contact between two metals.
Benefits of Using Bushes Minimizes noise
Ensures smooth movement between metals
Reduces vibration
Impart long life to machine
Requires less or no maintenance
Work effectively without applying lubricant
Disadvantages In certain condition bushes, work efficiency
get deteriorated.
Presence of oil, extreme cold, and high-temperature environment harm the working of the bushes.
In vehicles its performance is reduced during high-load condition, specifically in incornering and braking.
Rubber Moulded Bushes offer significant application in vehicles. Commonly used in:
Anti-roll bar (US Sway bar) links and mountings
Shock absorber mountings
Double wishbone suspension assemblies
Gear Stick
Inline internal combustion engines
Rubber Moulded Washers used as a supporting material to bear weights.
Commonly used in water taps or valves that regulate the flow of liquid in and out of the tap.
