Learn About Designing and Developing Elastomer Bushings

Everyone has their own story about the rubber industry.

Do you want to learn about designing and manufacturing rubber bushing? As an automotive or industrial supplier you need reliable information about designing and developing elastomer bushings.

At Bushing Design, we guide you through the entire process of manufacturing these small rubber suspension components. We aim to pass along the knowledge that we have acquired from our more than 32 years of experience in the bushing industry.

All our provided information is the result of independent research on commercially available bushings and their representative materials. We have documentation about a wide variety of topics. Some of these are:

  • Compounding of Rubber Material
  • Actual Bushing Design and Application
  • Static, Dynamic, and Fatigue Testing

We have incorporated many references in our published literature. Feel free to browse through our website for more information.
