UD Bushes

For vehicle suspension, pivot arms and all types of mechanical linkage,
permits oscillating movement through the deflection of rubber in shear.
Suitable to replace roller bearings where small motions are required (up
to 20 degrees). Reduces shock loads and noise transmission in structures.

Applications:

• Vehicle suspension arms
• Vibratory feeders
• Conveyor tracks
• Mechanical linkages
• Pivot bearings

Features

Novibra type VP and Metalastik type UD consist of two concentric sleeves
with rubber securely bonded between them. Designed to accommodate torsional
movements and axial and radial loads. The rubber is prestressed to give
maximum dynamic strength and durability.

The bonded rubber takes up the full movement. Lubrication or other bearing
maintenance is not required. The bush has excellent sound and vibration
isolation characteristics, enabling structures fitted with these bushes
to be silent and vibration free.
