Rubber spacer washer
Rubber spacer washers are specific cylindrical or ring-like objects that serve the purpose of reducing the vibration on any equipment or electronical item. They are meant to be placed in between the vibration origin and the materials around so it stops it and reduces the noise. They are one of the most used small items in this industry. Their uses find many fields, but they are most commonly used in making fans more silent. Another implementation is in the speakers. They can be placed on the down side and they will reduce the noise that is produced when they are playing versus the table when the waves are getting reflected.
Because of the fact that they are made from rubber, the rubber spacer washers serve a great purpose when they are planned to reduce rattling. Rubber is a great material, that can be made in any consistency that is needed. Depending on the synthetics, it can be harder, or more on the softer side. For this purpose, the best option is a medium one, you need them to be softer with a touch of rigidity, so the vibrations are getting absorbed easily. Also, some rubbers offer great water resistance so they might protect the object, and they can be temperature resistant as well, so direct sun exposure will not damage them.
When shopping for rubber spacer washers, you have to know a few things before you spend money. First, you have to know why are you buying them or what do you need them for. If you know this, you can now go through the measurements and find the one that fits the best. You will have to know the diameter of the hole so it fits perfectly, but also the size of the sides so they don’t be an obstacle when you are trying to close something.
Product specifications
- Product form
- Rubber washer at a clamped joint
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter and uncompressed thickness.
- Spacing duty
- Define the installed separation and the compression allowed under the clamping load.
- Profiles discussed
- Cylindrical sections. Select the profile that matches the mating part and dimension that section explicitly.
- Contact conditions
- Water: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Clamped condition
- Define the assembled gap and compressive load so the washer is not over-compressed.
