Gummi-hohlfedern Site

| Advantages | Limitations | |------------|--------------| | High energy storage per unit volume | Aging (ozone, UV, oil) – requires protection | | Progressive characteristic (soft start, stiff end) | Temperature sensitivity | | Integrated damping – no extra damper | Limited load direction (mainly compression, some shear) | | Low cost & maintenance | Not suitable for pure tension | | No lubrication needed | Creep under static load over time |

The term Gummi-Hohlfeder is deeply rooted in German industrial history. It was developed and trademarked primarily by (now ContiTech) in the mid-20th century. gummi-hohlfedern
