Products Rubber-metal elements
Putting a stop to vibrations and noises
STENFLEX® rubber-metal elements are ideal for use as damping elements thanks to the natural properties of rubber. They are used on machinery, measuring instruments, motors, pumps and industrial equipment where they provide an effective means of insulating structure-borne sound. When combined with STENFLEX® rubber expansion joints, they achieve optimum noise and vibration damping.
From standard to special design
Whether they are to be used as impact-absorbing elements or buffer elements, our rubber-metal elements are delivered ready to install – regardless of whether they feature a standard design or have been individually developed and manufactured to be a special model for specific operating conditions.
Buffer elements
Structure:
Cylindrical rubber buffers or buffers with retracted rubber edge. Metal plate vulcanized onto one or both sides with threaded bolt (male thread) or with female thread.
Stress:
Compressive and tensile stress in the axial direction. Shearing stress in lateral direction. To absorb shock and acceleration force.
Machine feet
Structure:
Elastic rubber body encapsulated in a metal casing. Steel securing plate vulcanized onto one side (drilled mounting holes). Other side with threaded bolt (male thread) or with female thread.
Stress:
High compressive and tensile movement in axial direction (bottoming). Slight shearing movement in lateral direction
Bearing elements
Structure:
Highly elastic ring-shaped, U- or W-shaped rubber bodies. Metal securing plates vulcanized onto both sides, with threaded bolts (male thread) or with drilled mounting holes.
Stress:
Compressive and tensile stress in axial direction. Shearing stress in lateral direction. To absorb shock and acceleration force.
