Rubber blocks
Gummimetall® Rubber blocks are used for structure-borne noise insulation, for example in wheels of rail vehicles, funicular railways or bearings of roller tables. They have vibration-insulating as well as shock-absorbing characteristics, which, referring to use in LRV-wheels, lead to a decrease in the level of noise and an improvement in passenger comfort. A further advantage of using rubber blocks lies in the increased life span of the chassis, since, compared to rigid bearings, there is a reduction of shock loads and a decrease in abrasive wear and tear.
