An arch fender is an improved V-shaped rubber fender. It is specifically designed to absorb more energy than ordinary rubber fenders. The Arch Rubber Fender is one of the world’s most popular maritime fender systems because of its simplicity and durability.
The Dock Port Arch Fender can be used as a single component. Alternatively, it can be used with UHMW-PE mats to provide a system with higher compression ratios, better energy absorption, and lower reaction forces. The arch fender's logical design and construction from a single piece of rubber make it easy to install and require little maintenance.
Features Of Arch Rubber Fenders
Arch fenders are among the most common types of rubber fenders. Their distinctive design incorporates numerous critical aspects that make them ideal for protecting yachts while tied or docked. Here are some of their main features:
Robust and Durable: Arch rubber fenders are manufactured from a single piece of molded rubber that is both robust and durable. Even after years of heavy use, no maintenance is necessary. Thus, arch fenders provide a long-lasting and cost-effective alternative for ship protection.
High Energy Absorption: Arch fenders are designed to compress and distort when a vessel collides with them. This deformation enables the fender to absorb a significant amount of energy, lessening the impact on the vessel.
Versatility: Arch fenders are appropriate for usage in a range of mooring conditions, including piers, docks, and breakwaters. Furthermore, they are suitable for both small and large vessels.
Low Maintenance: Arch rubber fenders require little maintenance after installation and can be utilized for extended durations.
Easy Installation: Arch fenders are very simple to install and may be mounted on a number of surfaces, including concrete, steel, and wood.
Superior Strength: Arch fenders are meant to be simple yet strong, able to handle heavy use and tough situations.
Excellent Shear Performance: This rubber fender's shape and material composition make it highly resistant to shear stress.
Comparison To Standard V-Fenders
The Arch Rubber Fender is an optimized V-fender. As a result, it provides numerous advantages over V-fenders. Arch fenders have the following qualities compared to V-fenders:
Higher compression ratio, more energy absorption, and reduced reaction forces
Simple design for direct installation
Good shear resistance
Long service life
Lower maintenance operations and hidden costs
Ideal for smaller installations.
Flexible in application and installation
In addition, UHMW-PE cushions can be installed on the fenders. This reduces hull pressure and the ship's coefficient of friction, lowering shear forces while the ship is at berth.
