Study on Rapid Curing for Laminated Rubber Using Induction Heating (2nd Report, Verification of Curing for &500 Laminated Rubber)

摘要

The laminated rubber bearing is confined within the mold during the vulcanization process in order to be pressed. The mold suitable for inductive heating was discussed by using the simulation. As a result, a SUS mold with a slit, which breaks the inductive current circuit in the mold, was found to effectively heat up laminated steel plates. The SUS mold with a slit for the φ500 laminated rubber was manufactured and it was verified that the measured heat rate from induction heating is consider- ably larger than the conventional rate. Consequently, it was proved that d500 laminated rubber by using induction heating has similar dynamic characteristics to a conventional rubber bearing from the result of the load tests.
