Abstract

A tubular vibration-damping device including an inner shaft member and an outer tube member connected by a main rubber elastic body. The outer tube member is configured to be slidably inserted in an attachment tube in an axial direction, and is circumferentially divided so as to be radially deformable or displaceable. A pair of tighteners are disposed on axially opposite sides of the main rubber elastic body. The main rubber elastic body is fastened to an inner circumferential surface of the outer tube member. An adjustment elastic body against which the tighteners are pressed is integrally formed with axially opposite side portions of the main rubber elastic body. Sliding resistance in the axial direction between an outer circumferential surface of the outer tube member and an inner circumferential surface of the attachment tube is settable depending on a pressing force of the tighteners against the adjustment elastic body.

Abstract

A rubber kneading method according to the present invention comprises: a first step for blending and kneading a raw material rubber of a reference lot and a secondary material at a specific compositional makeup to prepare a reference rubber composition and measuring a spring characteristic of a reference rubber crosslinked product which is obtained by crosslinking the reference rubber composition; a second step for blending and kneading a raw material rubber of a target lot and a secondary material at the same specific compositional makeup as in the first step to prepare a target rubber composition and measuring a spring characteristic of a target rubber crosslinked product which is obtained by crosslinking the target rubber composition; and a third step for comparing the spring characteristic of the target rubber crosslinked product with the spring characteristic of the reference rubber crosslinked product and setting a blending condition and/or a kneading condition to be employed when the raw material rubber of the target lot is to be kneaded at a product compositional makeup. Under the condition(s) set in the third step, the raw material rubber of the target lot is kneaded at the product compositional makeup to obtain a product rubber composition which has little variation in spring characteristic.

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing, in a state ensuring high strength, a cover responsible for the protection and noise insulation of a crank pulley, auxiliary drive belt, etc., in a longitudinal engine in which a crankshaft is disposed facing toward the front of the vehicle body. This cover 30 includes a sound absorbing body 33 made of a material such as hard urethane, and a hard reinforcing body 34 in which the sound absorbing body is insert-molded, the cover being formed in a tray shape as a whole. Fastening parts 35-38 fixed to the engine by bolts are provided to outer ends of the reinforcing body 34. Since the pressing force from the bolts does not directly affect the sound absorbing body 33, high fastening strength can be achieved while ensuring a high protection function and sound insulation function.

Abstract

Provided is a silicone rubber composition that allows for both the securing of time for filling materials and an improvement in productivity which is achievable due to a short curing time, and that has excellent reproducibility of curing properties. The silicone rubber composition contains (a) an organopolysiloxane having an alkenyl group, (b) a peroxide cross-linking agent, and (c) a heat stabilizer, wherein (c) includes a compound represented by general formula (1). In formula (1), R1 represents hydrogen or a methyl group, R2, R3, R4, and R5, each independently represent a C1-9 alkyl group, and R6 represents hydrogen or a methyl group.
