Single-sphere rubber joint

A single-sphere rubber joint is a flexible connector with one arch or sphere in its elastomeric section. This geometry distinguishes it from a twin-sphere form but establishes no movement, pressure, temperature, materials, or control rods. Medium, piping loads, required movements, and restraint require actual model review.

Application and duty

Vibration isolation or movement accommodation using a sized single-sphere rubber joint

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary

Absorption of thermal movement, vibration, misalignment and equipment displacement

Axial, lateral and angular movement, pressure, temperature, cycle life and reaction forces must be considered together.
