Rubber to metal components

Customized rubber to metal bonded products

At Artech Rubber, we specialize in producing high-quality rubber to metal components. These components provide the perfect balance of flexibility, cushioning and structural strength, and are used in a wide range of industrial applications. From shock absorption to vibration isolation, our solutions are designed to meet the most stringent requirements.

What are rubber to metal components?

Rubber to metal bonded products combine the elastic properties of rubber with the strength and durability of metal. This makes them ideal for applications that require absorption of shock, vibration and noise. The bond between rubber and metal is crucial and requires a precise process, including:

Chemical bonding: Strong bonds through special glues or adhesives.
Mechanical bonding: Designs with ridges, grooves or holes ensure a firm anchoring.

Why choose Artech Rubber?

✔ Full control over the process: From metal pretreatment to vulcanization in-house.
✔ Flexibility in materials: Suitable for a.o natural rubber (NR), nitrile rubber (NBR), EPDM, silicone rubber, steel, aluminum and brass.
✔ Specialist techniques: Chemical, mechanical and combined bonding methods.
✔ Revision processes: Remove old rubber and provide metal parts with new rubber.
✔ Precision: High-quality finishing with strict tolerances.

Our production techniques

At Artech Rubber, we use advanced techniques to guarantee optimal rubber-metal connections:

Chemical bonding: Use of high-quality primers and adhesives for a strong bond during the vulcanization process.
Mechanical bonding: With ridges, grooves or holes for extra anchoring.
Vulcanization: The combination of rubber and metal in a mould for a seamless bond.

Our in-house facilities, including bead blasters, shot blasters and spray booths, guarantee optimal pre-treatment of the metal.

Applications of rubber to metal components

These connections are frequently used in various industries:

Automotive: Shock absorbers, engine mounts, vibration isolation.
Industrial machines: Damping vibrations and absorbing sound.
Aerospace: Lightweight and strong connections for complex applications.
Construction and infrastructure: Damping in foundations and isolation components.

Materials we use

Rubber: including natural rubber (NR), nitrile rubber (NBR), EPDM, FKM and silicone rubber for specific properties such as chemical resistance and flexibility.
Metal: Steel, aluminum, brass and other metals with the desired strength and durability.

Metal pretreatment: optimal adhesion

Before we bond rubber to metal, the metal undergoes extensive pretreatment:

Cleaning: Removing dirt and grease.
Roughening: Improving the bonding surface.
Primer and coating: Applying a 1- or 2-layer system for optimal chemical adhesion.

By keeping this process completely in-house, we guarantee consistent and sustainable quality.
