rubber coupling

Rubber Coupling

Product Description

Rubber coupling is widely used in manufacturing or industrial applications due to its vital role in transmitting intense power between two interconnected parts of the machine. The coupling provides an allowance for the two connected rotational parts of the machine in case of misalignment. It also protects the motor and the other part of the machine by eliminating the shocks and vibrations. They are also relatively easy to install and replace, making them a popular choice for machinery that needs to be able to operate at high speeds.

Using high-quality rubber couplings will save a lot of time on production and reduce maintenance costs. If we compare it to metal-type couplings, it is more elastic, durable, has high chemical resistance, and have a longer life expectancy. 

We have been in this field for a long time and have proven track records, so you can be sure that RK Rubber Cebu can provide the best quality couplings to meet all your business objectives.

Installation

A rubber coupling is a fitting that connects two pieces of pipe. Couplings come in various sizes and styles, but all are used to join pipes together. Rubber couplings are easy to install and require no special tools or training.

1. Begin by measuring the outside diameter of the two pipes you will connect with the coupling. It is essential to get an accurate measurement to purchase the correct size coupling.

2. Once you have the correct size coupling, slide it over one of the pipes until it is in the right position.

3. Next, take some pipe-joining compound and spread it around the inside edge of the coupling. This will help to create a watertight seal.

4. Now slide the other piece of pipe into the coupling until it is snug against the first pipe. Make sure you use the correct size coupling for the two pipes you are joining together. If the sizes do not match correctly, the pipe will not fit perfectly into the coupling and leak.

5. Finally, take a rubber mallet and gently tap the pipes together to ensure they are correctly seated.

What to Choose Metal or Rubber?

When connecting two pieces of pipe, two main types of couplings are used: metal and rubber. Each has its benefits and drawbacks that should be considered before deciding.

Metal couplings are typically made of steel or brass, and they offer a strong, durable connection. They’re also less likely to leak than rubber couplings since they create a tighter seal. On the downside, metal couplings can be more expensive than rubber ones and are not as easy to install.

Rubber couplings are less expensive than metal ones and easier to install, but they’re not as durable or leak-proof. The choice between metal and rubber couplings also depends on the type of pipe they’re connecting and the type of water. Since metal couplings have a tighter seal than rubber ones, so they work better with pipes with high water pressure, such as those in commercial buildings. On the other hand, rubber couplings are better for pipes with low water pressure, such as those in residential buildings. Metal couplings aren’t recommended for copper pipes, as they can cause corrosion and damage to the line.

Rubber Suction Cup

Product Description

rubber suction capA rubber suction cup or vacuum cup is often used in workshops as a gripping tool on various products such as glass, metal sheets, plywood, hard bricks, and other fragile materials. For example, in a glass workshop, the workers should be required to use suction cups because mishandling those window glasses/mirrors might cause an accident. If we have something to hang on the wall, like a frame or decoration, a suction cup is the best alternative to a nail that causes a permanent hole in the wall. Instead, we use a rubber suction cup which is perfect for attaching to any wall as long as it uses the proper pressure, it will stick correctly.

Our suction cups are made from high-grade raw materials that allow excellent gripping for quick and easy load transfer. Our rubber suction cups are not only for industrial, residential, or commercial use. We can make any suction cup that suits your industry if you provide all the requirements we need. Most of all, it is FDA-approved which is very safe to use, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Tips on How to Use it

  • To attach a rubber suction cup, wet the area with water or another liquid before pressing it into place. This will help create a stronger seal.
  • To remove a suction cup, gently pull on it while twisting it back and forth. If the suction cup is difficult to remove, you can try using a blunt object, such as a butter knife, to help pry it off.

To know more about the rubber suction cup and other customized rubber products. Kindly contact our sales team.

How Do Rubber Suction Cups Work?

A rubber suction cup is a tool that uses vacuum pressure to adhere to non-porous surfaces. They are commonly used to hold objects in place or to hang decorations. The suction cup consists of two parts: the body and the plunger. The body is made of rubber or plastic and has a hole in the center. The plunger is also rubber or plastic and fits snugly inside the body. If it’s pushed down, it creates a vacuum inside the body, which causes the suction cup to adhere to the surface.

Plastic or Rubber Suction Cup

Regarding suction cups, there are two main types: plastic and rubber. Both have their benefits and drawbacks. Here’s a look at the pros and cons of each kind of suction cup. Plastic suction cups are generally less expensive than rubber suction cups. They’re also more durable and less likely to tear. However, they don’t provide as strong of a grip as rubber suction cups. Rubber suction cups are more expensive than plastic, but they grip better. They’re also easier to remove from surfaces, which makes them ideal for glass and mirrors.

Some Drawbacks of Using Suction Cups

While rubber suction cups have many benefits, they also have some drawbacks. One of the main drawbacks is that they can be difficult to remove from surfaces. If you are not careful when removing them, you can easily damage the surface or leave behind a sticky residue. Additionally, if the temperature is too cold, the suction cup may not work as well or may not stick at all. Finally, if you are using a suction cup on a very smooth surface, it may not stay in place as well as it would on a rougher surface.

rubber wheel guard

Rubber Wheel Guard

A rubber wheel guard is usually found in the parking lots of a building and mounted on the parking floor. The dimension of the guard is almost identical to other wheel guards found in other parking areas because it is already part of the building code that protects motorists in any accident that may occur.
