I am using a die cut nitrile bumper .25" thick inside of a shock absorber for an internal extension cushion. Some have failed some have not. When the part does fail its catastrophic destroying all the internals of the shock absorber due to contamination which plugs the ports, bends/breaks shims...
If money was no option what would be the shaft of all shafts to resist sand blasting, rock dings, and general abuse suffered in an offroad application?
If money was important in the same application what would you choose and why?
Currently for street applications the material is:
1045/1050...
I need to have made a rubber bumper for a shock absorber in a race application and I have very limited knowledge of what type of rubber I need to call out. The only loads this bumper will see is compressive loads. It is going to be .375 tall, 2.875 OD with a 1.25 hole in the center. I would like...
I have been given the task to source a 12V hydraulic pump that will generate 5GPM flow and be able to withstand the ruggedness of off road racing.
I dont deal with pumps so I figured I would come here and ask on some recomendations for quality pump brands as well as a place I might go to find...
Ive got a 4-12 acme threaded steel can. A collar and a lock nut are machined out of aluminum and screw on to the steel can. The steel is electroless nickel plated .0008" thickness. The aluminum is andoized and is brought back to net.
We discussed with the machine shop to decrease the thread...
What would you choose and why for a .25 inch HRPO plate with a 2 inch wide bottow die bending 90 degrees + for fabricated structural components?
They have to be nice to cut on the laser cutter as well as nice to bend without cracks forming?
If I order material straight from the mill can...
Can anyone enlighten me with a text or website or experience that will give me a correlation between viscosity of an oil and cavitation in a hydraulic system?
This is for a monotube shock absorber application and I am trying to determine the best viscosity oil to use of the 5 most widely used...
What benefits do these additives add to a hydraulic oil?
phosphourus
zinc
calcium
silicon
I assume it helps seals and o-rings but I dont know that for a fact.
Thanks,
Kris

Im looking for recomendations on an E-nickel spec.
Im designing a mono tube shock absorber for the aftermarket truck industry and the call out I am using thus far for prototypes is:
Mid P 7% .0005 inch thick
High P 11% .0005 inch thick
I sent them out for corrosion testing and at 24 hours...
