Suspension Outers
The tight-tolerance alternative to cut-off tube suspension bushings
Meeting and exceeding tight-tolerance bushing specifications is where wrapped-tube fabrication excels over cut-off tube alternatives.
Tight-tolerance suspension bushings from Stripmatic offer:
- 100% guaranteed closed seams to eliminate seepage during molding
- Flat and parallel machined ends for a complete seal to prevent seepage into the ID
- Dimpled feature to reduce weight and maintain ID dimension
- Inner sleeves that meet or exceed engineered / designed axial load requirements
- ID lead-edges on outer loops for smooth rubber bushing installation
Tight Tolerances
- Custom high-speed end finishing process yields +/- .003" on the length tolerance for a typical suspension sleeve
- Improved concentricity and ID tolerances for increased molding thru put
Cost Savings
- Most features are performed "in-process"" vs costly secondary operations (dimples, serrations, lead-edges, notches and holes)
- Shorter lead times and faster manufacturing process over cut-off or machined tube parts
- Low start-up cost
Solid Experience - Fast Response
- Quick prototype and sample turnaround
- Exceptional track record for quick response time on quality issues
- EDI and CAD technical support
- Inventory control using customer-based inventory management systems
- Over 60 years of wrapped tube technical support
