Can the principles be adopted in the search for wasted energy? If we assume that the ratio for wastage / value is between …
Most people define rubber by its color and Shore hardness. These 2 balls have the same weight, color and shore hardness. Still they show entirely different dynamic performance, in this case rebound resilience. Any idea what is the real difference? Leave a comment! Do you know the dynamic properties of your rubber? Can you quickly …
Most of the properties of rubber or rubber-like products are depending on the integrity of the cross linking of the material. Failures can vary from costly to even fatal in the worst case. The rubber part rarely is the most expensive component, but in too many cases it is the main “insurance” of the whole …
Rubber vulcanisation is a high energy process. The consumption of fossil energy carriers is gaining relevance in the overall cost structure plus in environmental aspects. Among the currently available technologies steam curing is one of the oldest but still very efficient and dominating when it comes to mandrel – based hose production. Set – up· …
Rubber compound High X linking density Good ratio between filler and plastisizer High tear resistance Blade Hard surface, treated or Tungsten Carbide Fine grains for perfect surface Slim (asymmetric cutting angle) Circular for best surface, pin ended for high speed Lubricant Low friction Low viscosity (can be even compressed air) Environment friendly Machine Precise Solid, …
