Rubber Fenders


Rubber Fenders are widely used in the automobile and industrial marine industry. Fenders are basically a surrounding or a barrier made of rubber, that surrounds the wheels of a vehicle to prevent sand, mud, rocks, water from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire. In other words, they are used to block splashing water or mud, while the tires are in motion. Instead of fenders, automobiles also make use of mud flaps which serve the same purpose, but they are more flexible than fenders.


Rubber fenders are more popular in the marine industry. Marine rubber fenders are objects that are placed along the sides of a boat or ship to provide a cushioning effect to prevent damage and protect the boat from impacting something harmful. Boat fenders are made from soft rubber or plastic and used between boats and other objects like piers, pilings, and docks to protect the boat from damage.
fenders for boats are available in a wide ranges of shapes and sizes that can be used for for small yachts to the largest vessels. They are designed to absorb the berthing energy due to their deflection.using natural rubber, nitrile, viton, epdm and other sysnthetic rubber. Rubber fenders can withstand all possible operating conditions in the automobile and marine industry.
Rubber fenders applicable in all kinds of shipbuilding, harbor construction, and maritime transportation are of different types like shearing, compressive, pneumatic, hydraulic, rotary, and foam-floating, super cone, cylinder, tug boat, tug-D-type, delta D, square and corner rubber fenders.

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         Silicone Fabric Materials Rayon Cotton Polyester Blends Monfilament Blends Kevlar Fiberglass Nylon Square Woeven Polyester Fiberglass Nomex ·        Advantage of Calendering: 1.Accurate rubber sheet gauge across the full length. 2.Frictioning operation for rubberized fabric 3.Skim coating

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 reinforced ela

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 great
