What Is a Rubber Bushing?
A Rubber Bushing is a cylindrical component made of rubber, primarily used to protect and insulate metal elements, cords, pipes, and other items within openings.
Its key attribute is the absorption of impact and vibrations, which significantly reduces the transmission of these forces in mechanical devices. This quality makes rubber bushings vital for vibration and noise isolation. Moreover, they are known for their waterproof and oil-resistant properties, enhancing their utility in various environments.
Rubber bushings are widely used for vibration and noise reduction in mechanical devices and for protecting pipes and electrical wiring from damage due to vibrations and impacts. They come in several types, including open-type, blind-type, cord stoppers, and knockout types, each tailored for specific uses.
