Rubber fenders are more and more widely used for ship-to-ship and ship-to-terminal transfer and docking, with the advantages of maintenance-free, long service life and easy installation.
What are the classifications of rubber fenders?
What are the characteristics and applications of rubber fenders?
What are the characteristics of DA and SA rubber fenders?
Usually, rubber fenders can be divided into two categories according to the structure, including solid rubber fenders and floating rubber fenders.
1. Solid rubber fender is non-floating, which is an early and widely used ship-to-pier anti-collision device. According to the force of rubber fender can be divided into shear type, rotary type and compression type. According to the structure, it can be divided into super arch type SA rubber fender, D type fender, GD type fender, super cone type (ZC) fender, cylindrical type (Y type) fender, etc.
2. Floating rubber fender can float freely on the water surface, according to its internal cushioning medium, it can be divided into inflatable rubber fender and filled rubber fender.
3. Inflatable rubber fender adopts compressed air as medium and consumes collision energy through compressed air.
Foam filled fender is also called solid polyurethane fender, whose cushioning medium is mainly closed cell foam material, such as foam EVA, foam polyurethane, foam rubber, etc.
Solid rubber fender has high energy absorption and reaction force, and also has the advantages of low cost, long service life, simple installation and maintenance, etc. It is a more protective device installed in docks and shipyards.
Floating rubber fender is a new type of fender equipment, compared with solid rubber fender, its main features are: large compression deformation, large energy absorption, small reaction force, self-floating, easy to install, etc.. It is usually used in ship to ship, ship to wharf barging and docking, etc. It is also especially suitable for installation in wharf where the tide level changes a lot due to its self-floating characteristic. Filled rubber fenders are especially suitable for applications in harsh environments, such as offshore drilling platforms, due to their maintenance-free and long-life advantages.
Super Arch (DA type) rubber fender is one of the most widely used fenders at present, with many advantages such as high energy absorption, flexible arrangement and suitable installation scale. Its energy absorption per unit product weight is second only to super drum fender among compression fenders, 3.5 times higher than cylindrical fenders, 2.3 times higher than D-type fenders, and saves material.
1, SA arch type rubber fender has low reaction force and high energy absorption, with the same reaction force, the energy absorption is much higher than A type, it is the replacement product of A type.
2, reasonable structure, long service life.
3、Widely used, suitable for all kinds of docks and shipyards.
