Keyhole Rubber Fender
Description:
The keyhole rubber fender gets its name from its distinctive keyhole-shaped cross-section. It is typically made of high-quality rubber or a combination of rubber and other materials to provide durability, elasticity, and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. The rubber material allows for effective energy absorption and impact resistance, making it ideal for marine environments.
The fender consists of a hollow chamber that runs through its center, resembling the shape of a keyhole. This design provides a high energy absorption capacity while maintaining a compact profile. The fender is usually mounted horizontally on a support structure, such as a dock or a vessel, using bolts or chains.
When a ship or boat comes into contact with the keyhole rubber fender, the fender compresses and deforms under the impact. The rubber material absorbs the energy generated by the collision, effectively cushioning the force and reducing the risk of damage to both the vessel and the structure. The fender's design allows it to distribute the impact force evenly along its length, preventing concentrated stress points.
Keyhole rubber fenders come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different applications and requirements. They can be customized to fit specific installations, ensuring optimal protection for various types of vessels, from small boats to large ships.
