Mass Transit

Rubber Extrusions for the Mass Transit Industry

ELBEX is proud to offer high quality, custom rubber extrusions to the mass transit industry to help maintain passenger comfort and reduce vibrations. Our engineers will work hand in hand with you to find the right solution for your project, and choose materials that meet regulatory standards and any applicable codes.

Our rubber extrusions are most commonly used in the mass transit industry as closed seals to fill voids between two surfaces. Namely, to keep weather and water out to ensure passenger comfort. In addition to these applications, ELBEX custom rubber extrusions are also heavily utilized in reducing vibration and securing components inside mass transit vehicles. Transit engineers must choose the right materials to ensure lasting structural integrity. Our engineers can work with you to select the right materials in regards to your specific project.

Extruded Rubber Bumpers

Bumpers are used in applications where there may be risk of damaging equipment or property. Their main purpose is to form a cushion and reduce movement, impact, and vibration. EPDM is a common material choice due to its superior abrasion resistance, but other materials are available to meet your unique specifications and requirements.

Extruded rubber bumpers from ELBEX provide superior impact resistance to other types of rubber bumpers because of our team that’s dedicated to quality through the entire extrusion manufacturing process.

Rubber Bumper Applications

Extruded rubber bumpers are most commonly used to absorb the force from an impact These extrusions are found in a variety of different applications across industries due to their versatility:

Mass Transit - Rubber bumpers are often found on the back of trucks and trailers to protect them from possible impact while backing into loading docks.
Marine - Dock bumpers are the best example of a marine application, used to absorb the force of an impact.

All extrusions are available in continuous lengths and precise profile shapes, but can be cut to meet specific length requirements. Whatever your application, we can offer additional services such as vulcanized splicing, cutting, printing, and taping.

Please contact us to discuss your specific application needs.

Custom Bumper Design and Value-Added Services

In addition to designing and engineering custom extrusions, we are able to provide many value-added services, such as in-house die tooling, on-site silicone mixing, and silicone color matching, as well as printing, cutting, splicing, and taping.

We take pride in our ability to deliver custom-manufactured bumpers to meet your specification requirements. Based on our extensive capabilities, nearly any design can be met—for nearly any industry.
