Solid Rubber Fenders And Floating Rubber Fenders

Rubber fenders, also known as rubber fenders, are installed on docks or ships to absorb the collision energy between ships and docks or ships when they are docked or moored, and protect ships and docks from damage.

Classification of rubber fenders

Generally, rubber fenders can be divided into two categories according to their structure: solid rubber fenders (non-floating) and floating rubber fenders.

Solid rubber fender (non-floating type) is an anti-collision equipment for dock ships with an early application history and a wide range of applications. According to the force of the rubber fender, it can be divided into shear type, rotating type and compression type, etc.; according to the structure of the fender, the solid rubber fender can be divided into D type, conical type, drum type, fan type, rectangle type, cylinder type, etc. Fenders, etc.

Floating rubber fenders can float freely on the water surface, and can be divided into inflatable rubber fenders and filled rubber fenders according to their internal buffering media. The inflatable rubber fender uses compressed air as the medium, and uses the compressed air to do work to consume the collision energy. , foamed polyurethane and foamed rubber, etc.

Features and applications of rubber fenders

Solid rubber fenders have high energy absorption and reaction force, and at the same time have the advantages of low cost, long service life, simple installation and maintenance, etc., and are more protective devices installed in docks and docks.

The floating rubber fender is a new type of fender equipment. Compared with the solid rubber fender, its main features are: large compression deformation, large energy absorption, small reaction force, self-floating, and easy installation. It is usually used in ship-to-ship, ship-to-dock barge, docking and other occasions; due to its self-floating characteristics, it is especially suitable for installation at wharfs with large tidal changes. Among them, filled rubber fenders are especially suitable for applications in harsh environments due to their maintenance-free, long life and other advantages.
