VP & UD Bushes
 
Novibra® type VP and
Metalastik® type UD Bushes
For vehicle suspension, pivot arms and all types of mechanical linkage, permits oscillating movement through the defl ection of rubber in shear. Suitable to replace roller bearings where small motions are required (up to 20 degrees). Reduces shock loads and noise transmission in structures.
Applications
• Vehicle suspension arms
 • Mechanical linkages
• Vibratory feeders • Pivot bearings
• Conveyer tracks  
Features
Novibra® type VP and Metalastik® type UD consist of two concentric sleeves with rubber securely bonded between them. Designed to accomodate torsional movements and axial and radial loads. The rubber is prestressed to give maximum dynamic strength and durability.
The bonded rubber takes up the full movement. Lubrication or other bearing maintenance is not required. The bush has excellent sound and vibration isolation characteristics, enabling structures fi tted with Novibra® type VP and Metalastik® type UD sleeves to be silent and vibration free.
