Bushes

Gummimetall® bushes are structural elements, in which an outer and an inner precision sleeve are firmly held together with a layer of vulcanized elastomer. The cylindrical liners dampen axial as well as radial movements and are able to absorb torsional movements as well as cardanic deflections. For a dynamic application, the values must be reduced to approx. 50%. For cardanic applications, it must be noted that the elastomer layer between the liners may be pressed together by 1/6 of the rubber’s thickness. During installation, it must be ensured that the assembly forces are not applied continuously through the elastomer.
