Rubber Balls 

Rubber balls are spherical shaped balls having varied applications. Right from a small toy ball to large industrial applications, the use of rubber balls is seen. They are used as check or ball valves, bearings, and in other applications. Rubber as an elastomeric material is a synthetic or processed material that can be shaped into many forms. The balls are manufactured in a number of different colors and elastomers/rubber types, depending on the application.


Types of Rubber Balls
Rubber balls are of various types depending on their area of applications. There are molded rubber balls, precision ground balls which are manufactured as per exact specifications. The commercial grade rubber balls are produced as per industrial requirements. 
Rubber Sponge Balls

Rubber Cleaning Balls

Rubber Check Valves 

Uses of Rubber Balls
Rubber balls are used for a wide variety of uses like for screen cleaning and screen de-blinding, air restriction, check valves. Rubber balls are used in FDA uses, for games and sports, for light load-bearing applications. There are rubber balls used in the flow control and flow meter applications in the pharmaceutical, food and chemical processing industries. For eliminating chatter or vibration in cabinetry, rubber balls are used.
Properties of Rubber Ball
Depending on the rubber material, there are different properties of rubber balls. However, most rubber balls are manufactured with one or more of the following properties:

·         Soft
·         Limited in heat resistance than metals, ceramics, glasses, or carbides
·         Have good electrical insulation properties
·         Good self-lubricating properties
·         High degree of flexibility and elasticity
        High reversible elongation

Types of bridge bearing  1. Elastomeric Bearing a.Plain elastomer pads b.Laminated Elastomeric bearings 2.Sliding bearing Mechanism a. PTFE  sliding material b.Alternative sliding material 3.High load multi Rotational building: a.Pot bearing b.Disc bearing c.Spherical bearings 4. Fabricated steel mechanical bearing a.Rocker bearing b.Rocker cum rolling bearing Elastomeric Bearing: It consists of elastomer manufactured from synthetic or natural rubber and can take both translation and rotation movements through elastomer deformation. The ability of elastomer to carry large vertical loads is because of reinforcement provision that prevents lateral bulging of elastomer. There are number of elastomeric bearing pads classified based on types of reinforcements used. For example, steel reinforced, plain, fiberglass reinforced and cotton duck reinforced elastomeric bearing pads Strength and response of each type is different, steel reinf...

Calendering

Image
Introduction: Calendering is the process of making thin sheet of rubber and also lamination of such sheet on to other substrate like fabric,cord warp sheet by passing through set if rollers under controlled Conditions. A calendar comprises of a number of rows or bowls held in frame. Rolls rotate in opposite directions either with even speed or with a friction ratio. Types Of Rubber material used Elastomers that can be used include: ·          Neoprene ·          SBR ·          Natural ·          Hypalon ·          Urethane ·          EPDM          Viton           Fluroelastomer         Butyl          Nitrile ...

Shrinkage rate Calculation

-
I n Moulding process the rubber is Cured at high temperature and Pressure, the resulting Moulded parts are smaller in size than the actual. The Difference in the thermal expansion of the mold material result in shrink rate Shrink Rate= ( Cavity dimension- Part Length)/ Cavity dimension) (Typical units in/in) This shrinkage value is applied to the desired finished part size to “scale up” the cavity. The resulting cavity dimension is calculated as: Cavity Dimension= finished part length/ (1- Shrink rate) For example: Shrinkage rate testing was performed on a 70 Shore A Nitrile (Buna-N), Ethylene-Propylene (EP), Fluorosilicone (FVMQ), and 75 Shore A Fluorocarbon (FKM).  The Fluorosilicone and Fluorocarbon materials undergo a secondary vulcanization process called post-curing. During the post-curing process, the molded parts were baked in a ventilated oven at a specific time and temperature recommended by the material manufacturer, or at a temperature g...
