The Difference Between Rubber Shock Isolators and Rubber Vibration Dampening Mounts

2018.11.22

The vibration damping mounts company has developed a lot of shock absorber components. There are more and more rubber shock isolators on the market, and many consumers are picking on them. In the eyes of the layman, it is true that he does not know how to choose, or what the difference is between the names of one word. For example, the rubber shock isolators and the rubber vibration dampening mounts, generally many people do not understand the difference between them, how to choose the use of methods and occasions. Today I'll show you the difference and use.

Rubber mounts and isolators seem to play the same role, but in fact there are differences, one is to isolate vibration, the other is to reduce vibration, although the role played is similar, but the final effect is often different. In certain environments, vibration isolators must be used. For example, for all kinds of mechanical equipment on land and ship, vibration isolators can be used for horizontal disturbing mechanical equipment.

So what are the characteristics of rubber vibration dampening mounts?

1. Low natural frequency;
2. With long service life, it can resist oil and water erosion, and will not be affected by temperature;
3. High stability and accurate test data;
4. Easy to process and produce, with little change in characteristics; Rubber vibration dampening mounts is more effective than other vibration isolation devices at low frequency.

In general, the rubber shock isolators and the rubber vibration dampening mounts are interconnected but they are different. They are all made of rubber, but with different structures to achieve vibration reduction, but they are excellent shock absorbers in the shock industry. These two components, as pillars of rubber vibration dampening mounts, will play a greater role in all walks of life.

High-strength, wear-resistant, fire-resistant, color BMC Insulation material for medium and low voltage insulators. Typical applications are switch boards, busbars, switchgear, etc. BMC (Body Molding Plastics) is a blend of glass fiber reinforced polyester resin and chemical mineral materials with special properties such as electrical insulation, low density, high mechanical strength and fire resistance. High sealing, high safety, low process and low cost.

The Characteristics of silicone electrical insulation Product

1. Heat and Cold Resistance

Since silicone rubber has high bond energy and good chemical stability, its heat resistance is better than that of organic polymers. Furthermore, since the intermolecular interaction force is weak, the glass transition temperature is low and the cold resistance is also good. Therefore, its properties will not change when used in any part of the globe.

2. Waterproof

Since the surface of the polysiloxane is a methyl group, it is hydrophobic and thus can be used for waterproofing.

3. Electrical Performance

Since the number of carbon atoms in the silicone rubber molecule is less than that of the organic polymer, the arc resistance and the electric leakage resistance are very good. In addition, even if it burns, it forms silicone insulation, so it is excellent in silicone electrical insulation.

4. Weather Resistant

Since the siloxane bond energy is larger than the ultraviolet ray energy, aging due to ultraviolet rays is less likely to occur. In the ozone-resistant accelerated aging test, the organic polymer is cracked due to aging in a matter of seconds to several hours. However, even after aging for 4 weeks, the silicone rubber only slightly decreased in strength and did not cause cracking, that is, its ozone resistance was good.

The Use of Silicone Electrical Insulation

1. For Outdoor Cable Accessories

Since it is a cable accessory for outdoor use, the silicone rubber insulators must have trace resistance. By using a polymer having a cross-linking density adjusted, a material having a low permanent elongation property can be obtained for use in a product which shrinks at a normal temperature (low-temperature shrinkage).

2. For Indoor Cable Accessories

Since it is a cable fitting for indoor use, it is unlikely to be affected by salt spray, so it is often unnecessary to have a trace of leakage resistance. In the case of shrinkage at room temperature (low temperature shrinkage), it is still necessary to have low permanent deformation characteristics.

3. For Coating

If a silicone rubber coating is applied to a heavily contaminated part, good hydrophobicity can be maintained for a long period of time. The installed insulators can also be coated according to the degree of pollution to achieve the purpose of continued use and cost saving.

RuiSen Popular Silicone Insulation Series

1. Self-Fusing Insulation Tape

It is a newly-formulated self- fusing silicone rubber tape, which forms avoid-free electrical insulation protection system, when applied to any connector, bus or cable.

Especially for flexible cable, expansion joints and odd shaped connectors.

Can be easily removed compared to the labor-intensive removal of heat shrink tapes.

2. Silicone Rubber Electric Power Equipment Insulation Shields

It is used for the wire connection terminals insulating protection of the transformers, arresters, disconnectors, Drop-out fuse, vacuum circuit breaker, etc. It can effectively prevent the wire connection place from the corrosion by dirt, salty fog, acid rain, dew. It can also help to avoid the short circuit due to its exposure to air.
