Rubber diaphragms are used in a wide range of applications across different industries. They are flexible sealing elements made of rubber or elastomeric material and designed to be used as a barrier or a separation membrane in various applications. Some of the common applications of rubber diaphragms include:
Pumps: Rubber diaphragms are used in pumps to transfer fluids or gases by creating a pulsating action.
Valves: Rubber diaphragms are used in valves to control the flow of fluids or gases by expanding or contracting in response to changes in pressure.
Actuators: Rubber diaphragms are used in actuators to convert fluid or air pressure into mechanical force, which is used to move or actuate a device.
Pressure switches: Rubber diaphragms are used in pressure switches to detect changes in pressure and trigger an electrical signal.
Regulators: Rubber diaphragms are used in regulators to maintain constant pressure in a system by expanding or contracting in response to changes in pressure.
Automotive industry: Rubber diaphragms are used in automotive applications such as brake systems, fuel systems, and emissions control systems.
Medical industry: Rubber diaphragms are used in medical applications such as pumps, respirators, and blood separators.
Aerospace industry: Rubber diaphragms are used in aerospace applications such as control systems and fuel management systems.
The choice of rubber material and the design of the diaphragm depend on the specific application requirements, such as pressure, temperature, chemical resistance, and durability.
