The preload is usually
carried out by the static dead weight of the component to be stored.
The rubber body of the V-mount is, as the name suggests, V-shaped. The spring stiffness in the direction of the V is adjusted via the angle. In the case of large deformations, the spring stiffness increases sharply due to the increasing pressure content. While the rubber packages are subjected to high pressure in the second direction and are therefore very stiff, the bearing is extremely soft in the third direction. Depending on the requirements, the V-mount can be combined with stops.
In this video, Mr. Reinke Gummi Metall presents parts with special properties. From complex constructions to clever ideas, everything is represented here. So have fun with the not so everyday rubber metal parts of Jörn GmbH. Have fun!
