Radial load. Oscillating motion
Criteria for selecting a landing. Validation

General: Working by deformation, these parts require no lubrication and can therefore operate maintenance-free and problem-free in very dusty or aggressive environments. Their flexibility makes them particularly well-suited to handling misalignments.

On the other hand, this flexibility means that they are not suitable for precise positioning, especially when a good range of angular displacement is required. They take up a lot of space.

Acceptable temperature ranges are limited upwards and downwards by changes in the elastomer's characteristics. Certain environments may also react adversely with the...
