Silent blocks are damping elements generally made of rubber and metal, designed to absorb vibrations and noise in mechanical and industrial systems. Their main function is to isolate and protect sensitive components, prolonging the service life of structures and equipment.
Operating principle and materials of silent blocks
Silent blocks act as a flexible damper between two parts, preventing direct contact and dissipating energy generated by vibrations or impacts. They are made of high-strength rubber combined with metal components, ensuring durability and effectiveness.
Applications of silent blocks in industrial and automotive environments
These dampers are used in multiple sectors, from the automotive industry to industrial machinery, as well as electronic equipment and household appliances. They are essential for reducing wear, preventing structural damage, and improving operational comfort.
