Yokohama Pneumatic Docking Fender High Pressure 50 Kpa Inflatable Fender

Yokohama pneumatic docking fender high pressure 50 kpa inflatable fender

The Pneumatic Fender (Yokohama Fender) is an abrasion-resistant rubber fender filled with high pressure air. It can easily be deflated which allows simple and cost effective relocation and re-commissioning in other locations.  

Pneumatic Fenders are available in diameters ranging from 500 mm to 4,500 mm and lengths ranging from 1000 mm to 12,000 mm, as well as special sizes.
All sizes are available as sling-type or with a heavy duty chain & tire net.

Advantages of yokohama pneumatic fenders:

A versatile and well proven design. JRB pneumatic fenders are available as sling type or with chain &tyre nets to suit a variety of inshore and offshore applications.

Pneumatic Fender Type

 

The Floating-type Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are kind of a cylindrical air bag with hemispherical heads at both ends. Basic body construction of this fender consists of an outer rubber layer, cord layers and an inner rubber layer. All of these are vulcanized together, and then proven by hydraulic pressure test.

1. Outer Rubber

 

The outer rubber layer protects the cord layers and inner rubber layer from abrasion and other external forces. This compound has sufficient tensile and tear strength to withstand any weather condition and hard usage as shown in Table 5-1. Standard color is black, but other colors such as grey and creamy white are available on request.

2. Synthetic-tire-cord Layer

 

The reinforcement cord layers, which are made of Synthetic-tire-cord, are arranged at ideal angles to hold the internal pressure and to distribute the stress evenly. As the main fibers of the synthetic-tire-cord are not braided like synthetic canvas fabric or synthetic belt fabric as shown in Fig.5-2, there are advantages for its fatigue-resistance performance and pressure-holding performance.

3. Inner Rubber

 

The inner rubber layer seals the air inside, utilizing a compound equivalent to that of the liner or tube of an automobile tire. The specifications are shown in Table 5-1.
