Abstract:
A composite shim is provided having a laminate structure that includes a composite layer having at least one circumferential fiber. The composite layer may be in combination with composite layers with radially oriented fibers, uniaxially oriented fibers, and/or biaxially extending fibers. By employing such laminate structures, the present invention may provide shims that have the desired strength and stiffness characteristics of metallic shims while possessing the beneficial weight characteristics generally associated with composite shims. Laminated bearings containing such composite shims are also provided.
Abstract:
An elastomeric composition containing (a) a heat-vulcanizable organic elastomer, (b) a polyorganosiloxane, (c) a polyorganosilsesquioxane, and (d) a compatibilizer. The elastomeric composition can be cured and utilized in applications involving the damping of vibration and noise created by various devices. The elastomer, (a), and the two organo-silicone compounds, (b) and (c), synergistically provide excellent damping characteristics throughout a broad temperature range.

Abstract:
The coating composition of the invention cures at room temperature, and forms a coating which is resistant to flex-fatigue. environmental temperature variability and provides for excellent adhesion to flexible elastomeric substrates. The coating in two parts comprises (A) a graft-modified fluoroelastomer and (B) a curing component containing at least one group reactive with an active hydrogen bearing group, such as an isocyanate group and another group which forms crosslinks, and (C) a solvent. The coating is prepared by mixing and milling the fluoroelasomer which has been graft-functionalized with an active hydrogen bearing group groups. The first part is admixed with the second part prior to applying the coating. Gelation of the coating takes place at room temperature over several hours with complete cure taking place within about 24 hours.
Abstract:
A mounting (20) which provides superior isolation yet which eliminates damaging edge-induced shear strain (ENT) buildup in the elastomer sections (28) and (30) when exposed to high temperatures by having a first elastomer section (28) loaded in compression and a second elastomer section (30) loaded in shear. Exposing the mounting (20) to elevated temperature environments allows the first elastomer section (28) to expand in height and places the second elastomer section (30) in shear to accommodate the height change. The instant invention compensates for fluid and elastomer expansion due to high temperatures by providing a mechanical type compensator (37) which takes up less space and eliminates the pressure loss associated with air-charged compensators (99). Further, a unique combination of fluorinated fluids and polysiloxane polymer enables the mounting (20) to withstand temperatures of greater than 200 deg F for extended periods of time. 28
