Elastomer springs

Elastomer springs are vibration dampers and load elements designed to absorb shocks, store elastic energy, and support forming and motion control applications in industrial machinery. Thanks to their high elasticity and mechanical strength, they provide a reliable alternative to traditional metal springs in demanding environments.

Elesa+Ganter offers a range of elastomer springs and perforated polyurethane bars engineered for high-performance applications such as forming processes, vibration damping, and controlled force absorption. These components combine excellent elasticity with high resistance to wear, fatigue, and chemical agents.

What are elastomer springs used for?

Elastomer springs are used for:

• shock absorption in industrial machinery
• energy storage and controlled release in forming processes
• vibration damping in dynamic systems
• load support in ejector and tooling systems
• replacement of traditional metal springs in high-stress environments

They are particularly effective in applications requiring controlled deformation and long-term resilience under repeated loading cycles.

Performance in forming and industrial processes

Elesa+Ganter elastomer springs are widely used in:

• deep drawing operations
• sheet metal forming processes
• ejector systems in moulds and dies

Their exceptional elasticity and mechanical resistance ensure stable performance even under continuous stress, reducing the risk of sudden failure under overload conditions.

Perforated polyurethane bars

The range also includes perforated polyurethane bars, available in 250 mm and 500 mm lengths. These elements extend the application possibilities of elastomer springs and can be used as:

• rollers for conveyor systems
• support elements for pipes and mechanical guides
• custom-machined components such as bushings, mould springs, and shock absorbers

Their modular design allows flexible machining and adaptation to specific engineering requirements.
