Rubber Bushes

AV Industrial Products offer a wide range of rubber bushes, also known as rubber shock bushings, that are used in various applications where high levels of shock and vibrations need to be absorbed such as vehicle suspensions. With its cylindrical shape, the rubber bushes act as a vibration absorption link between two mechanical bodies allowing torsional angular rotation, radial and axial loads, plus conical movement.

The design of our bushes use high quality rubber bonded to an inner and outer metal sleeve (IOS). This type of bush allows very low maintenance requirements while eliminating high frequency vibrations. Our rubber shock bushings come in a wide range of sizes to suit many kinds of applications.

  • Suspension Bushes

    Suspension Bushes

    IOS bushes are manufactured from high quality rubber which is bonded between two concentric sleeves. Designed to allow torsional, radial and axial movement within a system, whilst also offering vibration reduction properties. They are manufactured in such a way as to provide high durability during dynamic loads and prolonged service life. IOS bushings require no lubrication and are maintenance free.

    Applications:
    ■ Vehicle suspension
    ■ Pivot bearings
    ■ Mechanical linkages
    ■ Cab mounts
    ■ Engine mounts
    ■ Off-road vehicles
    ■ Military applications
    ■ Construction Equipment

  • Polyurethane Bushes

    Polyurethane Bushes

    Compact and Heavy Duty flexible bearing - Polyurethane Rubber Bushes are able to accommodate high loads and allow movement in both the torsional and conical directions. No lubrication is required and they are completely maintenance free.

    Advantages:
    ■ High Load Capacity
    ■ Allow Multi Axis Movement
    ■ Reduce Stress on Assemblies
    ■ Fail Safe Design

    Applications:
    ■ Off Road Vehicles
    ■ Construction Equipment
    ■ Rail applications
    ■ Suspension Control Links
    ■ Agricultural Equipment
    ■ “A” frame bushes

  • Eccentric Bush

    Eccentric Bush

    Eccentric Bushes are manufactured from two metal sleeves which are eccentrically offset in the radial direction. This offset allows for a larger proportion of the rubber section to be orientated in the normal of load, allowing for relatively large radial deflections to be achieved, whilst maintaining excellent motional control characteristics.

    Eccentric bushes are robust in design, fail-safe, and suitable for ROPS and FOPS cabs (subject to approval).

    Advantages:
    ■ Excellent Vibration Reduction
    ■ Robust Design – Ideal for Transit Shock
    ■ ROPS & FOPS
    ■ Fail Safe

    Applications:
    ■ Cab Mountings (Tilting Cabs)
    ■ Engine Mountings
    ■ Earth Moving Vehicles
    ■ Agricultural Vehicles

  • Spherical Bush

    Spherical Bush

    Compact and Heavy Duty flexible bearing - Spherical Bushes are able to accommodate high loads and allow movement in both the torsional and conical directions. No lubrication is required and they are completely maintenance free.

    Advantages:
    ■ High Load Capacity
    ■ Allow Multi Axis Movement
    ■ Reduce Stress on Assemblies
    ■ Fail Safe Design

    Applications:
    ■ Off Road Vehicles
    ■ Construction Equipment
    ■ Rail applications
    ■ Suspension Control Links
    ■ Agricultural Equipment
    ■ “A” frame bushes

  • Flanged Rubber Bush

    Flanged Rubber Bush

    Utilising the rubber primarily in shear, Flanged Bushes have a high radial to axial stiffness ratio and are therefore ideal for controlling horizontal movement. They are a relatively stiff mounting, suitable for carrying loads of up to 1100Kg per mounting and are ideal for high frequency vibrations. Using top and bottom washers provides a fail-safe installation.

    Advantages:
    ■ Controls Horizontal Movement
    ■ Ideal for High Frequency Vibration
    ■ High Load Capacity
    ■ Fail-Safe Design

    Applications:
    ■ Engines
    ■ Vehicles
    ■ Radiators
    ■ Agriculture
    ■ Construction Equipment

Rubber Shock Bushings

At AV Industrial Products, our rubber shock bushings are optimised to achieve high levels of vibration reduction. Our range of shock bushings are available as standard or can be made bespoke to suit your specific requirements. Not only do we specialise in rubber shock bushings, we also manufacture and supply a wide range of other anti-vibration mounts, including rubber bobbin mounts, bump stops, shock mounts and more.
