Rubber Springs

Description:

Rubber springs are available in a range of sizes and designs allowing for relatively high levels of deflections for shock absorption, as rubber spring suspension can hold considerably more weight, compared to other spring materials. A rubber spring from GMT can be supplied with metal inserts to assist with installation. In most cases, their design is such that the centre of the rubber spring is hollow and profiled to allow for high levels of deflection and a high load performance without overstressing the rubber. We specialise in creating bespoke anti-vibration fittings for our customers and are always happy to design innovative products for you. If you find that our collection of rubber springs is not suitable for your needs, then please contact our technical team for more information.

Benefits:

By altering the rubber hardness and the inner profile of the rubber spring, the stiffness characteristics can be amended to suit the application and load accordingly. Using rubber spring suspension can reduce the effects of shock and vibration, lower noise level due to rubber’s insulating properties and reduce static friction. Rubber springs are a long-lasting, maintenance-free option with a variety of applications and suspension systems, including trailers, off-road vehicles, construction equipment and agricultural equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are rubber springs? +

Rubber springs are flexible suspension components designed to absorb shocks, reduce vibrations, and provide load-bearing support in various applications.

How do rubber springs work? +

They use high-performance elastomers to compress and expand under load, dampening vibrations and distributing forces evenly to enhance stability.

What types of rubber springs does GMT Rubber offer? +

We offer a range of rubber springs, including standard and custom-designed solutions for suspension systems, industrial machinery, and rail applications.

Why are rubber springs important? +

They improve ride comfort, minimise mechanical stress, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs by absorbing shocks and vibrations.

Which industries use rubber springs? +

Rubber springs are widely used in railway, automotive, industrial machinery, construction, and material handling applications.

How do rubber springs compare to traditional metal springs? +

Unlike metal springs, rubber springs provide better vibration isolation, corrosion resistance, quieter operation, and reduced wear on connected components.

Can rubber springs be customised for specific applications? +

Yes, we offer bespoke rubber spring solutions designed to meet specific load capacities, operating environments, and performance requirements.

What materials are used in GMT Rubber’s rubber springs? +

Our rubber springs are made from high-quality elastomers and rubber-metal composites to ensure durability, flexibility, and optimal vibration control.

Are rubber springs suitable for heavy-duty applications? +

Yes, our rubber springs are designed to handle high loads, extreme operating conditions, and continuous use in demanding environments.
