Rubber DS fenders

DS fenders, often called DS bumpers, are extruded rubber profiles used as impact-absorbing and protective elements. They are produced by extrusion and supplied in a range of designs and sizes to provide DS rubber protection for edges, surfaces and equipment. These components serve as a basic mechanical barrier between contacting parts, reducing wear and preventing direct metal-to-metal contact. Specifications such as material compound and profile shape are selected to match the intended use and operating environment.

DS fenders are used wherever a resilient barrier or edge protection is required to absorb impact, limit movement or reduce vibration. Typical uses include protection of structural edges, machine guards, vehicle contact points and sealing applications where a flexible buffer is needed. The term DS bumper describes their role as a rubber protective element; selection depends on the nature of the contact, required resilience and environmental exposure rather than a single universal application.

DS fenders are manufactured primarily by extrusion, a continuous process that shapes rubber compounds through a die to form the desired profile. After extrusion, profiles undergo finishing and curing steps appropriate to the compound and application to achieve the required mechanical properties. This method allows a wide variety of DS rubber profiles and repeatable production of consistent cross-sections across different designs and sizes.

Choosing the right DS bumper requires assessing contact conditions, expected loads, environmental factors (temperature, UV and chemical exposure), desired hardness and the preferred installation method (adhesive, mechanical fixings or compression fit). Profile shape and material compound influence energy absorption and longevity.
