๐ Engineering Function & Mechanical Role
1. Internal Fit Geometry
Each Round Internal Rubber Cap is designed with a tapered insertion body that forms a compression seal within the inner diameter of the tube.
This creates a mechanical interference of 0.5–1.0mm, ensuring:
- Positive sealing pressure against inner walls
- Zero play or movement during vibration or impact
- Stable grip without adhesives or mechanical fasteners
2. End Wall Construction
The cap’s solid base wall thickness (typically 3.0–5.0mm) provides:
- Structural rigidity under axial load
- Impact resistance for vertical compression (e.g., chair legs)
- Noise reduction by energy absorption through rubber elasticity
3. Material Behavior
The elasticity of EPDM or NR ensures that the cap deforms elastically during insertion and returns to its natural shape, creating a tight, long-term hold that withstands thermal expansion or mechanical stress.
4. Stress & Impact Performance
Under vertical compression (200–400 N), deformation remains below 15%, ensuring consistent load support and anti-slip stability.
Dynamic fatigue testing over 50,000 compression cycles shows no cracking or loss of fit integrity.
๐งช Material Selection and Technical Behavior
Natural Rubber (NR)
- Excellent rebound elasticity and mechanical damping
- Good tear resistance
- Ideal for indoor use on furniture and light mechanical structures
EPDM Rubber
- High weather and ozone resistance
- Excellent electrical insulation and UV stability
- Maintains elasticity across temperature cycles
- Preferred for outdoor structures, construction frames, and marine equipment
Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
- Outstanding oil, grease, and hydrocarbon resistance
- Suitable for industrial, automotive, and machinery sealing applications
- Retains mechanical strength at elevated temperatures

๐๏ธ Functional Applications
1. Structural & Mechanical Engineering
- End protection for steel frames, tubes, scaffolding, and support legs
- Prevents metal fatigue, corrosion, and contamination ingress
2. Furniture & Interior Architecture
- Applied on chair and table legs, display stands, benches, and storage racks
- Provides shock absorption, noise reduction, and surface protection
3. Industrial & Automotive
- Sealing for hydraulic tubes, oil system piping, and instrument frames
- NBR variant used for fuel-resistant and oil-line end caps
4. Marine & Offshore
- Protects stainless steel railings, boat ladders, and ship interior fittings from corrosion
- EPDM version resists saltwater exposure and UV degradation
5. Laboratory & Medical
- Used in stainless steel furniture, trolleys, and instrument stands
- Ensures hygiene by sealing hollow ends from dust or microbial accumulation
๐ ๏ธ Installation Engineering Notes
- Dimensional Preparation:
Ensure the tube inner diameter (ID) matches the cap’s nominal size. Tolerance recommendation: ±0.3mm. - Insertion Method:
Apply uniform pressure along the cap axis to achieve full seating.
Avoid twisting which can shear the rubber. - Thermal Softening Technique (Optional):
Immerse the cap in 60°C water for 2–3 minutes to temporarily soften rubber for easier insertion in tight-fit applications. - Adhesive Use:
Normally unnecessary. For high-vibration or high-pressure environments, a thin layer of rubber-safe adhesive (e.g., neoprene contact cement) may be applied. - Inspection:
Ensure no gaps exist between the cap flange and the tube edge.
Verify full contact for sealing performance.
