Shock absorber rubber sleeve flexible tubing

A Shock absorber rubber sleeve provides a flexible tubular interface within a custom assembly. The bore must remain suitable for the component it surrounds after the outside is located or compressed by the mount. An acceptable loose fit can change once the sleeve is held in its working position.

Check the inner clearance with the actual surrounding hardware in place. Identify where the sleeve should grip and where relative movement is intended, so the whole bore is not treated as one uniform contact. Custom size, rubber choice and color can be selected, with hardness options from 30 to 90 Shore A. Evaluate the fitted sleeve in the direction of the expected force and look for contact concentrated at one end. Keep the inner component aligned during insertion rather than using the rubber to pull it into position. During service, inspect the bore for local rubbing and the exterior for pinching. A wear mark on only one side can indicate misalignment that should be resolved before fitting a new sleeve.

Material options

Custom rubber compound and color, selected for the contact conditions and required geometry.

Hardness range

30–90 Shore A for rubber. Assess the grade against this fit requirement: The bore must remain suitable for the component it surrounds after the outside is located or compressed by the mount.

Custom profile & fit

Identify where the sleeve should grip and where relative movement is intended, so the whole bore is not treated as one uniform contact.

Assembly considerations

Keep the inner component aligned during insertion rather than using the rubber to pull it into position.

Design check

Check the inner clearance with the actual surrounding hardware in place.
