High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB)

HDRB high damping rubber bearings consist of alternate layers of elastomeric material and vulcanized reinforcement steel plates. They provide a high level of damping of up to 16% since they are made up of a chemically improved rubber compound providing better damping and displacement capacity. As the reinforcement steel plates are fully embedded in the elastomeric material they are sealed and thus protected against corrosion. The devices are manufactured with the rubber vulcanized to the top and bottom connection plates. The bearings can also be supplied with additional anchor plates, allowing easier replacement of the device in case of maintenance needs. BAOLI HDRB devices are made from natural rubber (NR) providing a high resistance against mechanical wear and corrosion.
