Rubber Spring

What is a rubber spring?

Rubber spring is mainly made of rubber material, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, abrasion resistance and cold resistance. It can effectively absorb and dissipate energy, thereby reducing vibration and noise.

In industrial machinery and equipment, rubber springs are used to isolate and dampen vibrations caused by rotating or reciprocating machinery. They are often employed in applications such as vibrating screens, conveyors, crushers, and other equipment where vibration control is crucial. Rubber springs effectively reduce the transmission of vibrations, protecting the machinery and surrounding structures from excessive wear and damage.

Rubber spring material

The material of the vibrating screen rubber spring is crucial to the performance and service life of the vibrating screen equipment.

Natural rubber: has good elasticity and wear resistance, wear resistance, good cold resistance, but poor tolerance to oil, solvents and oxygen.

Synthetic rubber (such as nitrile rubber, propylene rubber, etc.): has good anti-aging, oil resistance, wear resistance and weather resistance, but the elasticity and heat resistance may be slightly inferior to natural rubber.

What is the function of rubber spring?

The primary function of a rubber spring is to absorb shock and vibration. This makes them ideal for a variety of applications where reducing the impact of external forces is crucial.

Here are some specific functions of rubber springs:

1.Vibration Isolation: Rubber springs can effectively isolate vibrations from machinery, equipment, and vehicles, reducing noise and protecting delicate components.

2.Shock Absorption: They can absorb shocks and impacts, preventing damage to equipment and structures.

3.Load Bearing: Rubber springs can support loads and distribute them evenly, reducing stress on components.

4.Noise Reduction: By absorbing vibrations, rubber springs can significantly reduce noise levels.

Application of spring rubber

Rubber spring is an important vibration reduction element, which is widely used in various vibration machinery. Its main function is to absorb vibration energy, reduce noise, protect equipment and extend the service life of equipment.

Vibrating screen: This is the most common application field of rubber spring. Whether it is a linear vibrating screen, a circular vibrating screen or a mining vibrating screen, rubber springs can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the screen during operation to ensure the screening effect.

Vibrating feeder: Rubber springs can make the vibrating feeder produce stable vibration to ensure uniform conveying of materials.

Vibrating mill: In the vibrating mill, rubber springs can absorb the vibration generated by the mill and protect the equipment.

Vibrating conveyor: Rubber springs can provide stable vibration to ensure the conveying of materials.

Vibrating table: Rubber springs can provide stable vibration to improve the surface treatment effect of workpieces.

How does a rubber spring work?

Working principle of rubber springs is based on the elastic properties of rubber materials. When external force is applied to a rubber spring, the rubber material will deform elastically. The molecular chains of the rubber will stretch and twist under the force, and when the external force is removed, the rubber spring will return to its original shape. The elastic properties of rubber springs enable them to absorb and damp vibrations. When external force acts on a rubber spring, the rubber material deforms elastically and stores energy. Once the external force is removed, the rubber spring releases the stored energy and generates a reaction force, thereby reducing or eliminating the effects of vibration.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of rubber spring?

Advantages:

The shape is not restricted, and the stiffness in each direction can be freely selected according to the design requirements.

Although the elastic modulus is small, a large elastic deformation can be obtained, and it is easy to achieve ideal nonlinear characteristics.

It has a high internal resistance. This has a good effect on the absorption of sudden impact and high-frequency vibration and sound insulation.

The same rubber spring can bear multi-directional loads at the same time, thereby simplifying the structure of the system.

It is easy to install and disassemble, and no lubrication is required, which is conducive to maintenance.

Disadvantages:

High and low temperature resistance and oil resistance are worse than steel springs.

Rubber springs used in engineering are simpler in shape than bellows, but it is quite difficult to calculate their elastic properties.

Because they are not pure elastomers, but viscoelastic materials, their mechanical properties are relatively complex.

What is the difference between rubber spring and steel spring?

Rubber springs and steel springs are two common types of springs, which have some differences in materials, elastic properties and application areas.

Material: Rubber springs are made of rubber materials, while steel springs are made of metal steel.

Elastic properties: Rubber springs have good buffering and rebound properties, can absorb and damp vibrations, and have a certain degree of softness. Steel springs have high elasticity and strength and can withstand large forces and deformations.

Load capacity: Due to the high strength and rigidity of steel springs, they are usually used in applications that need to withstand large loads and deformations, such as automotive suspension systems, industrial machinery, etc. Rubber springs are suitable for light loads and vibration damping occasions, such as building structures, electronic equipment, etc.

Damping effect: Rubber springs have good damping characteristics and can effectively reduce vibration transmission and noise generation. The damping effect of steel springs is relatively low.

How to choose rubber spring

There are several key factors to consider when choosing rubber springs:

Load requirements: First you need to determine the required load range. Rubber springs should have sufficient load carrying capacity to support the required operating load. Load requirements can be determined based on factors such as the size of the vibrating screen, material properties and working conditions.

Vibration characteristics: The vibration characteristics of the vibrating screen are crucial to the selection of rubber springs. The amplitude, frequency and working mode of the vibrating screen need to be considered. Different vibration characteristics may require rubber springs of different hardness, shape and number to achieve the desired vibration control effect.

Environmental conditions: The working environment is also important for the selection of rubber springs. Temperature, humidity, the presence of chemicals, and possible corrosion and wear factors need to be considered. Choose rubber materials with wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance to ensure the long-term stability of the rubber spring in harsh environments.

Spring design: The design of the rubber spring should match the structure and installation method of the vibrating screen. The shape, size and placement of the rubber spring need to be considered to ensure it will fit correctly and provide the required shock absorption and isolation.

Quality and Reliability: It is very important to choose rubber springs with good quality and reliability. High-quality rubber materials and manufacturing processes can ensure that rubber springs have stable performance and long service life.
