DK-A Rubber Suspension Unit
DK-A rubber suspension units are engineered for alternating motions that pass over the neutral element position in machinery mountings. Built with a light metal profile or a steel housing from size 60 upward, the assembly uses an inner square made out of steel and is finished in green protection paint. NOWARUN manufactures these units according to customer drawings and specifications for industrial machinery applications.

Key Benefits
- Accommodates alternating torsional deflection across the neutral position without mechanical play
- Light metal profile keeps overall mounting weight low on smaller unit sizes
- Housing and inner square built in steel from size 60 to withstand higher mechanical loads
- Green protection paint shields external surfaces from basic environmental exposure
- Manufactured to customer specifications rather than supplied from rigid catalogue boundaries
- Provides integrated spring and damping action through internal rubber inserts
Problems It Solves
- Eliminates backlash and premature wear in linkages that cycle back and forth over a neutral center
- Prevents structural fatigue in oscillating assemblies by absorbing alternating torsional loads
- Replaces hard-to-source suspension units where standard catalogue geometry does not fit the frame
- Protects equipment frames from unattenuated shock and cyclic vibration
Who It Is For
- Design engineers developing machinery linkages with bidirectional torsional motion
- Procurement managers sourcing custom rubber suspension units to drawing
- Equipment builders replacing non-standard oscillating rubber mountings in machinery
- Industrial equipment OEMs needing steel or light metal profile suspension components
Application Scenarios
- Industrial machinery assemblies requiring continuous alternating oscillating motion across zero
- Agricultural equipment linkages where torsion damping is needed in both deflection directions
- Mining and aggregate processing equipment where mechanical joints face bidirectional angular movement
- Wood processing machinery mechanisms subject to constant cycling over neutral mounting points
- Machine construction applications needing custom-dimensioned torsional rubber suspension units
Technical Features
- Light metal profile construction on smaller unit sizes
- Heavy-duty housing and inner square made out of steel as from size 60
- Inner square fabricated from steel across the range
- Coated with green protection paint for external surface preservation
- Designed specifically for alternating motions across the neutral position
Materials
- Light metal profile for standard smaller unit bodies
- Steel housing for heavy-duty requirements as from size 60
- Steel inner square for robust torque transmission
- Green protection paint formulation for surface coverage
How It Is Made
- 1
Customer drawing review confirming required mounting dimensions and size profile
- 2
Profile fabrication using light metal or steel depending on size specification
- 3
Machining and preparation of the steel inner square
- 4
Assembly of internal elastomeric elements under controlled compression
- 5
Application of green protection paint to external surfaces
- 6
Final dimensional inspection and packaging for shipment
Quality Control
- Verification of housing profile dimensions against customer technical drawings
- Dimensional check of the inner steel square profile and bore interfaces
- Inspection of the green protection paint coverage and adhesion
- Proper packaging in PP bags, cartons, or crates to avoid transit damage
Customization Options
- Manufactured to customer mounting dimensions and drawing specifications
- Material transition to steel housing as from size 60
- Custom inner square configurations per technical drawing requirements
- Packaging formats adapted to buyer requirements including crates or cartons
Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | Honest trade off |
|---|---|
| Standard unidirectional rubber mountings | DK-A is designed for alternating motion over neutral positions, whereas unidirectional units degrade under reverse deflection |
| Size 60 steel housing units | Light metal profiles offer lower weight on small sizes, while steel profiles provide higher rigidity for heavy-duty frames |
| Standard off-the-shelf catalog units | Custom-manufactured DK-A units match specific machine interfaces rather than forcing changes to mating weldments |
Use Guide
- Provide technical drawings showing interface dimensions and mounting arrangements
- Specify whether light metal or steel housing is required based on unit size and load
- Ensure mating shafts fit the inner steel square dimensions accurately
- Install the unit aligned with the neutral element position prior to alternating cycling
- Maintain clean operating surfaces free from mechanical abrasion to the painted finish
DK-A Rubber Suspension Unit Questions
