Silentblocks with sectors

Rubber and metal anti-vibration bushings, also called silent blocks, are an excellent aid to isolate vibrations and eliminate noise

Anti-vibration bushings are rubber bushings contained between metal pipes and are used to isolate vibrations and eliminate noise.

Sector bushings are used to increase the pre-compression of the rubber compared to traditional bushings. A maximum torsional angle of ± 7.5° is permitted.

The vibration isolation function is performed by the rubber inserted between the two pipes. The compound used is very important; it is usually a natural-based vulcanised rubber (NR base rubber, but special compounds can be used based on specific requirements) .

In vulcanisation, the rubber undergoes a process that makes it perform better.

Our bushings are fully vulcanised: in addition to excellent vibration-damping performance, vulcanisation offers an extremely resistant rubber-metal bond, resulting in greater security on the applied load.

The inner bushing can move independently of the outer bushing in four ways: axial, radial, torsional and pendulum.
