Chevron springs, also known as axle box springs or rubber-metal sandwich springs, are vibration-dampening components used primarily in railway bogies, freight wagons, and metro vehicles. Their unique V-shaped design allows them to absorb multidirectional loads and isolate vibrations between the bogie and the chassis, ensuring stability and comfort.
At Babacan Rubber, our OEM-grade Chevron springs are manufactured with specially bonded rubber-metal layers to withstand high compression forces, dynamic fatigue, and environmental stress. These products are engineered to be compatible with European and Asian rolling stock standards and comply with EN 45545-2 fire safety norms.
Applications of Chevron Springs
- Primary and secondary suspension systems in railway vehicles
- Axle-to-frame vibration insulation
- Noise reduction in metro and tramway lines
- Heavy load trucks and industrial damping systems

Conical Springs
Conical rubber springs are essential for primary suspension systems in trains and trams. Their tapered shape provides progressive stiffness, effectively managing vertical loads and side forces. At Babacan Rubber, we produce high-resilience conical springs tailored to bogie and chassis designs.
- High static and dynamic load capacity
- Long lifespan under repetitive stress cycles
- Designed for UIC and AAR compliance
Bellows
Rubber bellows are protective components that shield mechanical parts from dust, oil, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Our bellows are used in suspension systems, hydraulic mechanisms, and brake components. Their flexible geometry allows movement while sealing off contaminants.
- High flexibility and elongation ratio
- Resistance to UV, ozone, and thermal cycling
- Available in nitrile, EPDM, and silicone compounds

Elastic Couplings
Elastic couplings are used in rotating power systems to connect motors, gearboxes, and compressors, especially in construction equipment and agricultural machinery. They compensate for axial, angular, and radial misalignments while transmitting torque.
- Available in rubber and polyurethane variants
- Minimize torsional vibration and shock
- Ideal for diesel engines and mechanical drives
