Rubber Damper for Shock Absorption - Water Droplet Design (VD/VV/VP/VB)
Rubber shock absorbers are widely used due to their effective utilization of the following characteristics of rubber:
1. High elasticity and viscoelasticity enable rubber to absorb and dissipate shock energy.
2. Rubber has a larger deformation capacity and lower modulus compared to steel, making it an ideal material for shock absorption applications.
3. The impact stiffness of rubber is greater than its dynamic stiffness, which, in turn, is greater than its static stiffness. This property is beneficial in reducing impact and dynamic deformation.
4. Rubber can be molded into various shapes, and its hardness can be adjusted through formula design to meet the requirements of different directions of stiffness and strength.

When selecting a shock absorber, it is important to understand its characteristics and to choose one that is appropriate for the environment in which it will be used. Rubber shock absorbers, for example, can be designed to meet specific requirements in terms of shape and hardness, and they offer a greater damping ratio than springs. They are also versatile in terms of their capacity to withstand shear, tensile and compressive forces, and they are relatively easy to install.
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of shock absorbers, it is crucial to choose the right materials for the specific environment in which they will be used. Proper material selection can greatly improve the performance and life of shock absorbers, ensuring they can effectively dampen shock and vibration to protect your equipment and machinery.
