Gummi-hohlfedern (SIMPLE)

The Gummi-Hohlfeder remains a cornerstone of vibration engineering. Its elegant simplicity—a void within a solid—solves the complex problem of managing variable shock loads. By leveraging the non-linear elasticity of rubber, these components provide a level of protection and isolation that linear steel springs or solid rubber buffers cannot match. For heavy industry, particularly in the demanding environment of mining, the hollow rubber spring is an irreplaceable standard of modern machinery design.

As the spring compresses, its resistance rises disproportionately to the displacement. This prevents "bottoming out" under heavy impact and ensures a soft response under light loads. gummi-hohlfedern

are elastic components made of rubber (or elastomer) with a hollow, tubular or donut-shaped geometry. Unlike solid rubber blocks, the hollow design allows for controlled deformation under load. They act as combined spring and damper elements, storing mechanical energy through compression and shear of the rubber walls. are elastic components made of rubber (or elastomer)

The mechanical advantage of the Gummi-Hohlfeder lies in its non-linear force-displacement curve. and damping are required:
