⚙️ Technical Overview

RUBASIA Rubber Bush & Coupling Bush are precision-engineered vibration isolation components designed to connect moving mechanical parts while minimizing noise, vibration, and mechanical shock.

Each bush integrates a high-grade elastomer compound bonded to machined steel or stainless-steel sleeves under controlled temperature and pressure through vulcanization bonding technology.
This ensures superior adhesion, dimensional accuracy, and durability under cyclic load conditions in tropical, humid, and corrosive environments such as Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.

 

🔬 Technical Construction & Design Parameters

Component	Description
Outer Sleeve	Machined or precision-drawn steel tube, zinc-plated or phosphate-coated to resist corrosion.
Inner Sleeve	Machined steel or stainless steel for high torque transmission. Optional bonded threaded insert or flanged type.
Elastomer Core	High-performance rubber compound (NR, NBR, EPDM, Neoprene) designed for shear, compression, and torsion load.
Bonding System	Chemical primer + bonding adhesive cured under 160–180°C vulcanization for maximum adhesion strength.
Manufacturing Process	Compression moulding or injection moulding under controlled pressure (90–120 bar).
Dimensional Tolerance	±0.1 mm (Outer Diameter)

🧪 Material Options & Mechanical Properties

Rubber Compound	Tensile Strength (MPa)	Elongation at Break (%)	Hardness (Shore A)	Temperature Range (°C)	Key Features
Natural Rubber (NR)	18–22	600	55 ±5	-40 to +80	High elasticity, best damping capacity
Nitrile Rubber (NBR)	14–18	400	60 ±5	-30 to +110	Excellent oil and fuel resistance
EPDM Rubber	12–16	500	65 ±5	-40 to +130	Superior ozone, UV, and weather resistance
Neoprene (CR)	13–17	450	65 ±5	-35 to +120	Balanced oil, weather, and flame resistance

All rubber compounds comply with ASTM D2000 and ISO 3302 Class M2 standards.

🧰 Structural & Dimensional Configurations

1. Straight Bush (Cylindrical Type)

• Used for suspension arms, brackets, and control links.
• Uniform wall thickness for balanced stiffness.
• Common sizes: Ø25 – Ø80 mm OD | Length 30–120 mm.

2. Barrel-Type Bush

• Parabolic outer profile to reduce edge stress concentration.
• Ideal for dynamic loading and rotation applications.
• Reduces shear stress by up to 20% compared to straight bush.

3. Flanged Bush

• Equipped with one or two flanges for positive axial location.
• Prevents displacement under axial compression.

4. Coupling Bush (Flexible Coupling Insert)

• Designed for torsional flexibility between motor and driven shaft.
• Reduces resonance and torque pulsation.
• Commonly used in motor-pump or motor-fan assemblies.

 

🛞 Vibration & Shock Absorption Performance

Frequency Range	Isolation Efficiency
10–20 Hz	60% – 70%
20–50 Hz	75% – 85%
50–100 Hz	80% – 95%

• Natural frequency: 6–10 Hz (depending on stiffness and mass).

• Ideal damping ratio for industrial machines and automotive components.
• Reduces vibration transmission through chassis, floor, or frame structure.

 

🔩 Installation & Fitment Guidelines

1. Press-Fit Mounting:
   • Interference fit of 0.1–0.2 mm between outer sleeve and housing bore.
   • Use hydraulic or arbor press; avoid hammering to prevent bonding damage.
2. Axial Preload:
   • Recommended pre-compression: 2–5% of rubber length for dynamic isolation.
3. Orientation:
   • Align bush in neutral position before tightening bolts to prevent torsional preload.
4. Lubrication:
   • Dry fit only. No lubrication between rubber and metal sleeves.
5. Inspection Interval:
   • Every 12 months or 5000 operating hours for high-load applications.
