Automotive Rubber Parts & Their
Applications in Automobiles
A car or any other vehicle is made up using lots of technology, equipments and parts. Similarly there are some particular types of rubber molded products or parts which are also used in making vehicles. Such automotive rubber components play a very important role in proper functioning of the automobiles.
Below I am mentioning some very
important rubber parts which are used in automobile industries
worldwide:
Rubber Dust Covers: These rubber
products find a large application in auto industry. They are used to
protect some parts of vehicles like suspensions, steering, etc. from
dust, so that they can work efficiently. They also increase the life
of such parts.
Rubber Grommets: These are round
rings made of rubber which are inserted into a hole so that it can
enforce the hole as well as protect the edge of the hole. These also
protects the hole edge from the metal objects inserted through the
hole. For example in a car if some wires pass though such holes in
metal sheet of the car then these grommets protects these wires from
the sharp edges of these holes, as well as protecting the wires from
any wear and tear too.
Rubber to Metal Bonded Parts:
These are rubber products which are bonded with metals are used to
isolate the vibration and noise generated by the vehicle or any other
machines. Some examples of such rubber parts are suspension bushes,
torque rod bushes, silent block bushes, etc.
Engine Mountings: Engine
mounting is used to attach the engine with the car body. They prevent
any kind of vibrations(caused by the engine) from passing to the car
body. They are made up of combination of metal and high quality
rubber. They are very very important for any car and vehicle.
Cushion Foot Mountings: These
are also one of the type of anti vibration mountings which are not
only used in vehicles but also in generators and other machinery.
They are used for high performance, to bear high load, and were long
service life is needed. They are made from superior quality of
rubbers which are very high resistance to wear & tear and
vibration resistant.
Isolator Mountings: These are
also called engine mounts as they isolate the other parts of the
vehicle from the vibrations and vibration noise generated by the
engine.
O Mountings: These mountings are
used in some particular parts of the vehicle to protect them from
vibration and shocks. Thus it also play a role of vibration isolation
and shock absorbers resulting in smooth functioning of the car and
comfortable experience. Apart from the vehicles these mountings are
also used in other machinery and equipments like generators, high
speed motors, and other machines.
U Mountings: Similar to the o
mountings these are also used in some particular parts of the
vehicles and other machines to protect from the shocks and
vibrations.
Rubber Bellows: Theses rubber
components(also called as rubber gaiters) are used to protect
some particular parts of the vehicles from dust, debris, weather
conditions, etc. thus increasing the life of those parts of the
vehicles. Made from high quality rubber, these parts also provide
cushioning effect and last for very long.
Rubber Gaskets: These atc as
seals and are used to prevent fluid leaks between two substrate
parts. They also find good applications in automobiles.
Rubber Packings: These are used
in automobile industry for the purpose of sealing any compartment so
that no air, gas, or oil leaks in or out. These sometimes are also
called rubber gaskets, and thus are very vital for any vehicle or
some particular machines.
Rectangular Sandwich Mountings:
These mountings are used to fix engine of vehicle, and are in
rectangular in shape. In this mounting a high quality rubber is
sandwiched between two metal plates, so that rubber provide a cushion
zone and absorb vibrations caused by the engines and jerks while
driving.
Suspension
Bushes: These are nothing but some rubber components which
are used to hold steering system and shockers in place. These also
absorb any shocks and jerks thus protecting the steering components
from any wear and tear. Worn out suspension bushes need to be
replaced as soon as possible as it me result in other harm to the
vehicle like uneven wear of the tyres, vehicle pulling to one side,
irritating vibration & noise, uncomfortable ride, etc.
Silent Block Bushes: These
bushes are used in vehicles suspension systems to absorb the
vibrations caused by the vehicle. They are also very necessary for
the proper functioning of the vehicle suspension system and
comfortable ride experience.
Rubber Sleeves: These are rubber
hollow tubes which are used to cover various parts of the vehicle to
protect them from any wear & tear, rust, corrosion, etc. thus
prolonging their life.
Rubber Bushes: These are
cylindrical rubber tubes which are used in automobiles to absorb
shock load axially, radially and torsionally so that passengers
experience a vibration free and comfortable ride.
Torque Rod Bushes: These bushes
are made from high quality urethane rubber and are know for their
high tensile strength. These bushes are used in heavy vehicles like
trucks, buses, dumpers, cargo truck, tractors and other heavy
vehicles to support torque reaction force(generated by the vehicle
during speeding, slowing and halting) which is quite necessary to
absorb the vibration and for comfortable ride in heavy vehicles.
Rubber Buffers: These rubber
products are used for absorbing energy and slowing the impacting
object to a gradual stop on overhead cranes, elevators, doors,
bumpers, etc. It reduces the impact of force caused by striking of
two surfaces thus saving both of them from wear and tear.
Anti Vibration Mountings: These
are particular mountings which are specially used to prevent any
vibration to pass from one part to other part. For example these are
also used to prevent the vibration generated by the engine to the
vehicle compartment, so that passengers get comfortable ride.
Rubber Oil Seals: Also called as
shaft oil seals, lip seals and radial oil seals, the oil seals are
used to seal around and keep oil or lubricant inside the engine, axle
or any other compartment. These are quite important for the proper
and smooth functioning of the machine or engine.
Rubber O Rings: These are one of
the type of oil seals as mentioned above, but apart from oil sealing
they are also used to prevent air from leaking out. Apart from
automobiles they are also used in different machines and equipments
like underwater cameras, scuba diving equipments, water proof
machines, etc.
Rubber Diaphragms: Also known as
diaphragm seals are flexible rubber seals which are used to prevent
transmission of any substance(oil, gas, liquid, dust, etc.) between
two places.
Rubber Rollers: These(also
called rubber covered rolls) are sheet of rubber which are used for
spreading, laminating and guiding in automobile and various other
industries.
Rubber Washers: These are rubber
rings which are used to prevent transmission of vibration from one
part to other. These are also used in many other machines and
equipments.
Rubber Bumpers: These are
elongated rubber cover used on front and rear side of a vehicle to
protect by reducing the impact of any collision with a vehicle or any
other objects.
Rubber Sheets: These rubber
sheets are used widely in different industrial sectors including the
automobile industry. These sheets are used for covering, decorating,
protecting and other multipurpose uses.
