Rubber bushings are effective in reducing the transmission of shock and vibration between parts. In the automotive industry, there are many advantages of using rubber on shock absorbers, including improved safety and comfort when driving, minimised noise and damage due to reduced vibration. Its main purpose is to serve as an interface between two parts, acting as a buffer and absorbing some of the energy produced by the interaction of two parts. It separates two parts while allowing a limited amount of movement, thus minimizing vibration and even noise. Rubber bushings come in a variety of forms.
Silicone is known for its retention of flexibility and low compression set in extreme heat or cold. Silicone rubber is very durable and overall, has good mechanical properties. Because of its durability, it is extremely reliable and can be trusted to keep up performance for a long time.
