Evolution in the Durability of Vehicles and Industrial Machinery

The durability of vehicles and industrial machinery has been a crucial aspect of the industry since its inception. Constant innovation and the development of new technologies have allowed for significant advances in this field. In this article, we will analyze how the durability of these systems has evolved and the essential role played by flexible silicone connections, with a special focus on Venair and its High Performance division.
 

Historical Evolution of Durability

Over the years, the durability of vehicles and industrial machinery has improved considerably. In the early stages of industrialization, the equipment was robust but lacked the efficiency and longevity we see today. The introduction of new materials and technologies has allowed manufacturers to produce machines that not only last longer but also require less maintenance.

Factors Influencing Durability

Among the factors that have contributed to the improvement of durability, the following stand out:

• Material Innovation: The development of more resistant and durable materials, such as advanced metal alloys and high-tech composites.
• Design and Manufacturing: Advances in design and manufacturing processes that allow for more precise tolerances and more robust assembly.
• Predictive Maintenance: The adoption of monitoring and analysis technologies that allow for the prediction of failures and the performance of preventive maintenance before serious problems occur.

The Role of Silicone Tubes in Durability

Silicone tubes are fundamental components in numerous vehicle and industrial machinery systems. Their primary function is to act as a flexible connection between rigid metal elements, in order to absorb movements, vibrations, and design misalignments in cooling and turbo systems in industrial engines. Unlike metal parts, flexible tubes are subject to repetitive movements and vibrations that require an optimal design for correct performance while simultaneously ensuring the expected durability of the product.

Their quality and performance, therefore, have a very significant impact on the overall durability of these systems. Venair, a leader in the manufacture of silicone tubes, has been key in developing and providing solutions that withstand extreme conditions and prolong the lifespan of the equipment.
