DAMPING
The damping coefcient depends basically on the com-
pound used in manufacturing of the anti-vibration mount.
It is a crucial parameter that must be addressed when
designing anti-vibration suspensions.

ANTI-VIBRATION TECHNIQUES
One concept that must be taken into account when designing an anti-vibration mount is its durability. A dynamic
testing machine allows us to conduct fatigue tests that reproduce the real working conditions of the part so that its
useful life can thus be predicted accurately.
The latest computing tools can also generate virtual models of solid rigid multiples and study how they interact with
each other and with the environment.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF ELASTOMERS
NATURAL RUBBER
Natural rubber is used in the manufacture of elastomers loads. Natural rubber is not stable versus non-polar
with high elasticity and tear strength. It is a strong mate- LIQUIDS SUCH AS MINERAL OILS LUBRICANTS FUELS AND

families, natural rubber offers the best resistance to me- rides. Its moderate ozone stability can be improved

An elastomer is not composed of a single material, but
rather contains very varied substances.
Mixes can be made with different formulations to ob-
tain different stabilities and different mechanical cha-
racteristics.
HARDNESS
The hardness of the elastomer depends on its formula- manufactures anti-vibration mounts with

OZONE RESISTANCE
This characteristic is important for measuring an elasto-
mers weather stability. The speed at which is may de-
teriorate depends on the prevailing environment condi-
tions and the formulation of the compound.
ADHESION
The bond between elastomers and metals is made by
adhesives which are applied to the metal parts which
leverage the process of vulcanisation to create a rm
bond between elastomer and metal.
