Innovative Uses of Custom Rubber Parts in Emerging Industries and Technologies |

The rapid development of science and technology and the vigorous rise of new industries has led to the application field of custom rubber parts to be constantly expanding and it plays an increasingly important role in many new industries and technological innovation with its unique design flexibility, excellent physical and chemical properties and cost performance. This article focuses on four emerging fields of biomedical, new energy, intelligent manufacturing as well as aerospace by service methods of customized rubber parts and the penetration effect on the correlated technology.

Biomedicine: Precision and biocompatibility

Geo-biomedicine requires materials to be fully biocompatible, stable and accurate. There are many applications in this field where custom rubber parts are the go-to choice, since they make use of a material formulation optimized for design and precision molding technology for accurate sizes.

1.1 Medical seal and connections: Many seals and connections, which are required to ensure proper seals and functions of the fluid delivery systems in medical equipment, are used to achieve safe and reliable limb performance in the medical field. As a result, if medical silicone rubber seals, pipe connectors, etc. are to be customized, they must comply with strict biocompatibility requirements, and avoid adverse reactions to the human body. In parallel, it also needs to exhibit enough chemical resistance, besides the disinfection, sterilization and further treatment discussed here.

1.2 Microfluidic biosensors: Microbfluidic biosensors need precision control of flow and nanoscale fluid identification. Complete custom rubber microfluidic valve, pump, etc for Sharp investigative study of rubber elastic deformation to provide precision management of the fluid. For example, during the preparation of the biosensor, the formulation of rubber materials can be improved by optimizing the selection and amount of cross-linking agent to increase sensitivity and accuracy, and measuring the parameters on the mold preparation.

1.3 Implantable medical devices: Implantable medical devices raised more stringent criteria for biocompatibility and long-term stability of the materials. Custom made Surgical silicone rubber catheter, seals, etc., which contact with human tissue for a long time without adverse reaction. Then the pass-through rubber with good performance undergoes biocompatibility testing and certification by high standards, and meets product quality requirements through advanced production technology.

Durability and security in the new energy sector

In particular, renewable energy resources such as wind energy and solar energy require long-term operation in unfavorable environmental conditions, so the durability and safety of the materials will have higher requirements. After analyzing the complete rubber parts volume, you can gather that most individual parts have three major roles in the field, the first being that of sealing, shock absorption and insulation.

2.1 Wind Turbines--Wind turbines are often exposed to the wind and sunlight, and need a large number of seals to prevent moisture and dust from being enters the interior through the seals in the unit casing flushing system, affecting the operating efficiency and life of the unit. Custom rubber seals must be excellent in weather resistance, oil resistance and aging resistance, and must be able to work stably and effectively for a long time in harsh environmental conditions.

2.2 Solar panels: Solar panels use packaging materials to protect the battery, prevent moisture from entering, oxygen these external things to the interior, causing interference and damage to power Generation efficiency. The rubber packaging materials must have light transmission, weather resistance and UV resistance, and have a lasting protective effect on the battery.

2.3 Energy logisits:Energy storage systems (lithium b batteries) that require a high safety and reliability. (2) Special shaped and rubber seals, damping etc. to prevent electrolyte leakage, short circuit etc. risks. Select rubber materials with high electrolyte corrosion resistance and good insulation performance to ensure the safety and stability of the energy storage system.

3rd Intelligent manufacturing domain: micro-connect and accurate control

Intelligent manufacturing embodies the full automation, intelligence and flexibility of the manufacturing process. Rubber parts play a major part in proportion control, flexible connection, etc.

Point three 1 robot arm joints need to be applied to bows flexibly, so as to realize the flexible movement customized rubber joint, with rubber elastic deformation to achieve the movement of joints, can play a buffering and shock absorption role. It is customizable to modify the formula and structure of rubber material so as to controllable the trajectory and force of the joint motion.

3.2 Automation Equipment: A large number of pneumatic and hydraulic components should be used in automation equipment for precise action. These custom rubber pistons, seals etc are used at cylinders and hydraulic cylinders and that controls the air pressure and hydraulic pressure. When ensuring the stable operation of equipment, rubber materials with good oil resistance, wear resistance and high pressure resistance must be selected.

3.3 Sensors and actuators: A large number of sensors and actuators must be implemented in intelligent manufacturing systems for the purpose of real-time monitoring and control of the entire production system. Rubber play is also used for sensor packages, actuator diaphragm, etc, To protect you from sensitive electronic components but measures and controls various measures such as pressure, temperature, etc.

Aerospace Domain: High Reliability in Harsh Environments

Special requirements for material properties (high/low temperature, radiation, corrosion and strength) are specified in the aerospace industry. Most of their applications in this particular industry include sealing, shock absorption and insulation where these custom rubber parts are mainly adopted.

4.1 Two- and three-dimensional engines In a wide temperature range (high and low), aircraft engines need to work, which put forward high requirements for the performance of various components. Customized rubber seals need good high temperature resistance, oil resistance and aging resistance to ensure the normal use of the engine.

4.2 Spacecraft sealing: The working environment of the spacecraft such as vacuum, high radiation, etc., so the sealing performance requirements are extremely high. In the segment of gas prevention, customized rubber seals are used for the cabin doors, interfaces and other parts of the ship to ensure that the life safety of astronauts and the normal operation of equipment.

4.3 Further shock absorption: Aerospace spacecraft will suffer severe vibration and impact during the launch and driving period. Rubber shock pads for protecting sensitive electronics and precision instruments from damage.

Conclusion and prospect

Custom rubber parts have played an increasingly important role in the emerging industry and technological innovation due to its excellent performance and high-tailored characteristics. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous improvement of product performance requirements of various industries, the application field of customized rubber parts will also be wider and wider space. These specific needs in different emerging fields such as future new rubber material development, molding process optimization, functional customization, etc. will become an important direction for the development of customized rubber parts so that we can achieve the innovation and upgrading of related technical and technological aspects better, and to make contributions to the upgrading of related industries.
