There are many reasons why this type of spring has been chosen for certain applications. Rubber springs have been used for a long time because of the rubbers natural ability to reduce vibration. The Donut Spring uses both rubber and reinforced fabric to carry greater loads while isolating the vibration.
The alternative to these types of springs are standard steel coil springs which do not provide the same characteristics as rubber springs. The Donut Spring will provide a nearly constant natural frequency with changing loads.
On occasions when Donut Springs are not suitable and using steel coil springs is necessary, we also produce spring covers.
We have developed a cover that will withstand most applications as it uses ozone resistant rubber along with a fabric reinforcement to give longer life.
Rubber Bumpers have become one of our more popular ranges as it can be used in many applications for antivibration or perhaps as bumper rubber. They are solid rubber springs which act as an anti-vibration mounts and easily work alongside other springs or mountings.
Our range for this type of bumper can be quite specific to the customers requirements. We have the capability of creating and working to engineering drawings specific to individual projects, as well as testing and prototyping where required. Because these products are not injection moulded or compression moulded the tooling costs are reduced significantly and samples can be made in a short period of time. The type of rubber used can be specified by the customer and by using our quality European-based suppliers, we can source most rubber compounds available.
Tension bands are additional products used commonly alongside the Donut Springs to give extra stability in applications such as inclined screens or where the screen has an off mounted pivot motor. They can also be used in other applications to allow lateral movement but provide tension.
We currently offer two sizes, the TB-230-250 and the TB-110-130.
