About Chevron Springs
Chevron springs, also known as rubber springs or V-springs, are specialized vibration isolation components widely used in railway vehicles, industrial machinery, and heavy equipment applications. Manufactured by Babacan Rubber, these high-performance elastic elements provide superior load-bearing capacity combined with excellent vibration damping characteristics.
The unique chevron (V-shaped) configuration of these springs allows for progressive spring rates and multi-directional stiffness control, making them ideal for applications requiring precise vibration isolation and shock absorption. Our chevron springs are engineered using advanced rubber compounds that deliver exceptional mechanical properties, including high fatigue resistance, temperature stability, and chemical resistance.
Railway Applications
Primary and secondary suspension systems for metro trains, trams, locomotives, and passenger coaches. Designed to meet EN 45545-2 fire safety standards.
Industrial Machinery
Vibration isolation for heavy machinery, presses, compressors, generators, and industrial equipment requiring robust damping solutions.
