A rubber diaphragm is a flexible sealing element made of rubber or elastomeric material, which is designed to be used as a barrier or a separation membrane in a variety of applications. It is commonly used in pumps, valves, actuators, pressure switches, and other mechanical devices that require the transfer of fluids or gases.
Rubber diaphragms are available in different sizes and shapes, and they can be customized to meet specific application requirements. They can be made from a variety of rubber materials, including natural rubber, silicone, neoprene, EPDM, and others. The choice of material depends on the application, as different rubbers have different properties, such as resistance to chemicals, temperature, and pressure.
Rubber diaphragms are preferred over other sealing methods in many applications because of their flexibility, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. They are also easy to install and maintain. Some common applications of rubber diaphragms include controlling the flow of fluids in a pump, regulating pressure in a valve, and providing the necessary force for an actuator to move.
