Description
This Polyurethane Rod offers excellent durability and flexibility, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Ideal for automotive and industrial uses.
Advantages of Polyurethane Rod
Polyurethane rods are known for their excellent abrasion resistance, oil and solvent resistance, and deformation resistance. They also exhibit remarkable tear resistance and provide excellent noise and vibration abatement properties.
Performance Characteristics
The temperature range for polyurethane rods is from -32°C to 82°C. They outperform rubber, plastics, and metals in sound dampening and electrical insulation, making them a superior choice for many applications.
Common Applications
These rods are widely used in automotive suspension bushings, gaskets, seals, castors, wheels, bearing seals, valve inserts, shock absorbers, noise dampers, and even in roller coasters and escalators. They are also effective as wear strips on snow ploughs and pulleys on fishing trawlers.
Machining and Bonding
While machining polyurethane can be challenging and requires sharp high-speed steel cutters, it can be bonded to metals and most plastics with proper preparation.
Versatility and Longevity
Polyurethane rods are versatile and often replace rubber components due to their superior wear resistance, longevity, and impact resistance. They maintain their shape and flexibility under stress, making them ideal for various industrial applications.
