What are rubber-coated spacers?
Rubber-coated spacers hold and pull the strip during longitudinal cutting. They consist of two parts:
- Core: the metal part of the piece, with the same treatment as the knife.
- Rubber: a synthetic compound in nitrile or polyurethane, according to the material to be cut.
Industrial functions
Rubber-coated spacers perform four functions:
- Pulling: they move the coil along the longitudinal cutting line.
- Ejection: they direct the strip's exit direction.
- Lifting: they guide the strips to prevent marking.
- Support: they prevent strip buckling and improve cut quality.
Main features of our rubber-coated spacers
We manufacture them with the following characteristics:
- Hardness from 60 to 90 Sh, for optimum pulling without marking the strip.
- A wide range of colours, which make assembly easier for the operator.
- Thickness tolerance of ±0.001, for a perfect fit.
- Lightened designs that reduce weight when assembling the shear.
- High resistance to oil and abrasion, for coil cuts with lubricants.
