Shock Absorber Cushion
Shock absorber cushions are vibration-damping components made from rubber, polyurethane, or composite elastic materials. They are typically installed at the end of the shock absorber piston's motion or at the equipment's support. Their core function is to absorb impact energy through elastic deformation, suppress vibration transmission, and protect equipment from mechanical damage. Typical applications include automotive suspension systems, industrial equipment bases, building isolation supports, and sports venues.
1. Efficient Shock Absorption and Noise Reduction
Vibration Absorption: Vibration energy is converted into heat through elastic deformation, reducing the amplitude of vibration transmitted to the vehicle body or equipment. For example, automotive shock absorbers can absorb over 80% of high-frequency vibrations and reduce noise by 10-15 decibels.
Resonance Suppression: In bridges, buildings, and other structures, the damping properties prevent resonance damage and extend the life of the structure.
2. Equipment Protection and Life Extension
Mechanical Protection: Buffers withstand axial forces and lateral friction, preventing shock absorber piston rod bending and oil seal damage. For example, automotive shock absorbers can reduce spring fatigue and prevent shock absorption system damage due to impact.
Environmental Resistance: EPDM rubber is resistant to cracking in UV rays, rain, and chemical environments, and its service life exceeds three times that of ordinary rubber products.
3. Improved Comfort and Safety
Driving Experience: Automotive shock absorbers reduce vehicle vibration, reduce roll during cornering, and enhance driving stability.
Sports Safety: Sports flooring shock absorbers offer a 53%-57% rebound rate, reducing the risk of joint injuries for athletes. Industrial Safety: Reduces the impact of equipment vibration on operators, complying with occupational health standards.
4. Economical and Flexibility
Cost-Effectiveness: For example, in automobiles, cushioning pads can extend the life of the shock absorption system by 2-3 years and reduce repair costs by over 30%.
Customizable Design: Hardness and shape can be adjusted based on load requirements, or they can be embedded into metal frames to adapt to different scenarios (e.g., chemical pipelines require acid- and alkali-resistant rubber, precision instruments require high-rebound polyurethane).
