Improved Engine Rubber Mounts Using Kenaf Fiber Polymer As Filler

Engine rubber mounts are the engine mounting components that is placed inside the vehicle to isolate vibrations generated from internal combustion engine.dd-type rubber mounts This is important because it will protect the vehicle body from massive vibration that can cause a lot of damage and also reduce the lifespan of the vehicle itself. Several studies have been done to improve the quality of the rubber mounts. However, they can only be upgraded to a certain level without affecting the vehicle’s overall reliability. This is because the vibrations that are generated by the engine are accompanied by heat which can shorten the lifespan of the rubber composite mount.

The purpose of this study is to design and develop a new engine composite rubber mounting using kenaf fiber polymer as filler.dd-type rubber mounts This is because the dd-type rubber mounts are made of natural rubber that can be easily modified with kenaf fiber polymer. The use of kenaf fiber polymer as filler in the engine rubber composite will also increase the durability and strength of the product.

Among the many types of engine rubber mounts, the dd-type is an excellent choice for marine applications as it can withstand the powerful propeller thrust.dd-type rubber mounts Its rugged design limits excessive movements under shock loads and it is also resistant to corrosion. The top metal cover helps in preventing oil and other liquid spills from getting into the engine. The dd-type is also ideal for diesel engines and other machinery that creates high-frequency vibrations.

A typical automotive engine rubber mounting is usually made of a flexible material such as natural rubber or synthetic polymer composites like Teflon and Silicon. The disadvantage of using a flexible material is that it has a limited lifespan because it is exposed to extreme heat and chemical spills. It is also not environment-friendly and can be expensive. However, the engine rubber composite mounting that is developed in this study has a higher strength and deformation than the original product.

The conceptual design of the dd-type rubber mounts is based on four main criteria. The first is the placement of the inner tube in the center of the engine mount. The second is the size of the support and the number of the mount’s supports. The third is the position of the support to cater for axial and radial forces. The fourth is the positioning of the support to ensure that the dd-type rubber mount is stable and will not break away from the engine.

The dd-type is an excellent choice when used on 1 or 2 cylinder diesel engines. They provide high damping capabilities which are useful in eliminating a large portion of the vibrations generated by these vehicles. The dd-type is also great for machines that require a large amount of stability, such as centrifuges, motor pumps and compressors. The dd-type is a reliable replacement for Novibra SIM type mounts and Metalastik Cushyfloat type mounts.
