Different Types of Conveyor Belts

 Rubber products have an important role to play in everyday life. Some of the important ones are oil seals, vibration mounts, conveyor belts, AS 568 standard O rings and rubber sheets. 

Talking about conveyor belts, you must have come across a conveyor belt while waiting at the luggage area at airports. 

There are mainly 3 types of conveyor belts namely, 

•Basic belt

•Snake sandwich belt

•Long belt

A basic conveyor belt comprises of 2+ pulleys and it can be used manually or with a motor. The items placed on the belt move forward with the forward movement of the belt. They are also used in packaging and parcel delivery utilities as they make movement of goods from one place to another quite easy and effortless.

A snake sandwich conveyor has 2 separate parallel belts and is used to move goods up an inclined surface. This type of a conveyor as created in 1979 and is used widely till date.

A long belt conveyor has 3 drive units and is mostly used for sending goods over a long distance. The main use of this kind of belt is in the mining industry and construction industry.

 All the types of conveyor belts have their own usage and make it easy for people to move goods from one place to another. 

Conveyor belts are used to move goods from one point to another. There are mainly 3 types of conveyor belts – the basic belt, snake sandwich belt, long belt.

What are Oil Seals?

There are many rubber products that are found in all around us and we don’t know about them. The oil seal is one of them. They are rotary shaft seals and their main purpose is to seal the gap between fixed and moving components. 

Oil seals prevent the lubricant from escaping therefore there isn’t any contamination via the opening. In other words, oil seals function as a physical barrier to keep the lubricating oil in its place and prevent its leakage. Also, external bodies like dirt can’t enter the system when there is an oil seal. 

Oils seals are of several types and materials based on what they have to be used for. The choice of material depends on the application for which the oil seal is to be used. The applications include domestic equipments, automobile, industrial pumps, power plant equipment, turbines used in aircrafts and compressors. 

O-rings are widely used as seals. AS 568 is a standard for O-rings from the Society of Automotive Engineers. It is SAE that specifies the standard sizes of o-rings.

Other important rubber products used widely in various industries include vibration mounts, conveyor belt, and rubber sheet. When they are of top quality they can serve the purpose well.

Oil seals are used as a physical barrier to seal and prevent the leakage of lubricant oil and keep it in its place. They are used in several industries. 

What is Rubber to Metal Bonding and What are its Applications?

 There is a wide and varied use of rubber to metal bonded products in a number of industrial applications. Rubber to metal bonding is basically the process of adhering rubber to metal. The rubber becomes stiff enough to get mounted due to the metal and in turn gives the metal the elasticity it needs. 

 Before the molding is done, the metal is treated to remove rust and any kind of impurities. Next, a bonding agent is sprayed on top of it. The rubber, after being dried is placed in the mold for forming and curing.

Rubber to metal bonded products like metal gaskets and vibration mounts are used in aerospace, medical, automotive and industrial applications. You might have even come across these products but must have not keenly observed it. For instance, vibration mounts help in isolating shock, sound and vibration because of machinery. This is much needed in an industrial environment.

As a manufacturer of rubber products, Lusida Rubber products is into making products that involve rubber to metal bonding. It has timing belt and silicone heater hoses on the list as well. However, at Lusida, the client has an upper hand and get products manufactured based on the requirement. 

Rubber to metal bonding has extensive use in different industries. It is the process of adhering rubber to metal. Rubber to metal bonded products are manufactured by Lusida Rubber based on the client’s requirements.
