United Seal & Rubber: Vibration Isolation & Mitigation Materials

United Seal & Rubber is pleased to offer polyurethane based closed cell and mixed cell vibration isolation and mitigation materials.   These materials can provide the following:

– Excellent Deflection properties

• Ultraflexible PUR structure
• Low residual deformation, excellent recovery properties
• High ratio of closed cells
• Minimal absorption of water

– A combination of insulation and dampening

• Versatile, elastic PUR material
• Porous, mixed-cell structure
• Excellent durability

– Top notch shock absorption

• Visco – elastic PUR structure
• Porous, mixed – cell structure
• Excellent internal dampening & absorption of shock-like loads

– Special Products

• Outstanding performance in very low ambient temperatures.
• Extreme resistance to wear.
• With special sliding layers.

Solutions featuring flexible polyurethane materials are used in a multitude of industries.  Vibration materials increase lifespan, decrease wear, and have a positive effect on working conditions.   These products can be found in the following industries:

• Electrical engineering and equipment construction
• Transport and lifting industry
• Vehicle construction (e.g. railcar, yachts and buses)
• Automotive
• Construction
• Optics
• Medical technology (e.g. orthopedics)
• Machinery
• White goods

Because we have a strong relationship with our supplier, we can provide numerical modeling, material testing, cost – efficiency analysis and accompanying consulting.  These services may include:

• Design and calculation
• Project management
• Installation consulting & technical acceptance
• Material selection & prototype manufacturing
• Cost effeciency analysis
• 2D/3D CAD, Modeling/simulation & FEA
• Vibration, mechanical and acoustic measurements

Application examples for the polyurethane materials we offer:

• Dampening material for bicycle seats (for that long ride…)
• Buffer rings in power brake systems (Automotive)
• Elastic coatings for conveyor rollers and other types of rollers
• Elastically mounted foundations to reduce structure – borne noise
• Deflection/dampening components for rapid mitigation of vibration
• Stair mounting systems for reducing footstep noise
• Decoupling of high use, dynamic metal components (Automotive)
• Protective padding for othopedic underwear to protect against injury
• Drive Belts
• Mounting systems for equipment, machinery and motors
• Polishing pads for the optics industry

Equipment applictions include:

• Chillers
• Air conditioning units (HVAC)
• Compressors
• Generators
• Blowers
• Boilers
• Motors
• Gear Boxes
• Transformers
• Turbines (water and gas driven)

United Seal and Rubber welcomes the opportunity to provide vibration isolation & mitigation materials.  If we can be of service, please let us know.
