Noise attenuation
Benefits
Ensuring continuous operation of the driveline in the unlikely event of rubber damage.
Achieving low vibratory loads in the driveline components by selection of optimum stiffness characteristics.
Radial removal of rubber elements allows replacement without moving driven or driving machine.
No lubrication or adjustment required resulting in low running costs.
Avoiding failure of the driveline under short circuit and other transient conditions.
