Rubberatkins offers expert advice on all aspects of product development, such as:
Technical Advice
Rubberatkins offers a responsive technical advice service. Involving Rubberatkins at an early stage prevents future problems occurring during the development process.
Material Design & Selection
Rubberatkins mould components in all types of polymers. Some of the properties of the innovative materials we have developed include:
- High Temperature Resistance
- Pressure Resistance
- Chemical Resistance
- Extrusion Resistance
- Abrasion Resistance
- Electrical Resistance
- Low Friction
- Shock Absorption & Vibration Damping
Rubberatkins will develop materials to suit your unique application.
Design, Research and Development
Rubberatkins understands that design is critical in the development of high performance components. Our team has expert knowledge in product design and material selection, utilising our practical engineering expertise and the latest diagnostic and analytical tools.
As well as manufacturing to client drawings Rubberatkins has also developed its own range of components.
Testing and Finite Element Analysis
Rubberatkins tests materials and designs to ensure they meet the required specification before release.
Pressure Test Cell
- Capable of testing products in oil up to 20,000psi and 250ºC
- Ability to apply a different pressure above and below the test piece
- Capable of testing to EN ISO 14310 to V3
- Data acquisition system enables recording of test parameters for analysis and investigation
Materials Testing
- Materials can be tested for a full range of physical properties (hardness, tensile strength, compression set, oil swell etc)
- Data acquisition system enables recording of test parameters for analysis and investigation
- An in house test rig selects materials for extrusion resistance
Finite Element Analysis
- Rubberatkins can further reduce development lead times, optimise component design and improve product performance by utilising in house FEA expertise.
