Description
RUBASIA RUBBERTECH’s rubber dust covers are flexible, durable seals (also called boots or bellows) used to protect sensitive mechanical parts like CV joints, ball joints, shocks, and cables from dirt, water, and debris, ensuring smooth movement, reducing wear, and extending the life of machinery in automotive, industrial, and agricultural uses. Made from materials like EPDM, Neoprene, or Silicone, they flex with moving parts while preventing contamination.
Key Functions
- Prevent Contamination: Keep abrasive dirt, dust, and moisture out of crucial components.
- Maintain Lubrication: Seal in grease and lubricants for moving parts.
- Reduce Wear: Protect against friction and premature failure, extending equipment lifespan.
- Allow Movement: Flexible design accommodates tilting, turning, and expansion/contraction.
Common Applications
- Automotive: Ball joints, tie rods, CV joints, shock absorbers, steering linkages, brake systems.
- Industrial: Hydraulic cylinders, bearings, shafts, pneumatic systems.
- Agricultural: Tractor linkages, heavy machinery pivots.
Materials Used
- Nitrile (NBR): Good for oil and fuel resistance.
- EPDM: Excellent for weather and ozone resistance.
- Silicone: Ideal for high-temperature applications.
- Viton® (FKM): Best for chemicals and acids.
Why They're Important
A torn or damaged dust cover allows contaminants to enter, leading to rapid wear, poor performance (like stiff steering or shock failure), and costly repairs.
