**Use of THK Products in Construction**
Source: China Bearing Network | Time: 2013-07-23
THK’s precisely manufactured products are not only used in industrial machinery but also in outdoor applications. These components are designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh environments, such as muddy and splashing conditions. They support essential equipment for daily use, ensuring comfort, safety, and reliability across a wide range of applications.
**Earthquake Vibration Control System**
Frequent earthquakes have become a major concern for residents in certain regions. THK’s vibration control system helps address these challenges. The system uses LM guide ball screws to stabilize structures during seismic events, ensuring the safety of people and daily life. This system not only prevents earthquake-related damage but also reduces fear by offering a reliable and omnipresent solution.
**Shock Absorption System for Houses**
To minimize damage caused by seismic waves, shock absorption systems are an effective method of earthquake resistance. When LM guides are directly combined, they allow free movement on a plane. By adding damping rubber, THK’s common shock absorption system can reduce vibrations in lightweight buildings during earthquakes. Drawing from years of experience in manufacturing LM guides, THK is continuously developing new systems to protect lives and ensure industrial safety during natural disasters.
**Damping Structure for Large Buildings**
THK’s damping rails are also applied in high-rise buildings. By incorporating LM guides between structural elements, horizontal vibrations are absorbed effectively. This significantly reduces the impact of ground shaking on buildings, lowering the effect of earthquakes by up to one-third to two-thirds. It transforms destructive forces into manageable energy, making tall buildings more resilient.
**Shield Machine**
The transportation and communication networks that are crucial to our daily lives are often hidden underground. Shield machines are used for excavation work on underground railways, fiber optic networks, and other critical infrastructure. THK’s large LM guides are employed on these machines to assist in pouring concrete and achieving precise positioning, even in deep underground environments.

Base Seals
Base Seals are an important component used to seal machines and equipment. They are usually used to prevent liquid or gas leaks and protect machines and equipment from dust, pollutants, and other external elements. Base Seals mainly include rubber seals, oil seals, mechanical seals, O-rings, U-rings, V-rings, X-rings, and other types.
1. Rubber seal
Rubber seals are a type of seal widely used in various machines and equipment. They are usually made of rubber materials and have characteristics such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and low temperature resistance. Rubber seals are mainly used to seal liquids or gases in machinery and equipment, such as automotive engines, water pumps, pipelines, fans, refrigeration equipment, etc.
2. Oil seal
Oil seal is a type of seal specifically used to seal lubricating oil. They are usually made of rubber and metal materials and have characteristics such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. Oil seals are mainly used in equipment such as automotive engines, industrial machinery, water pumps, and hydraulic systems to prevent lubricant leakage.
3. Mechanical seal
Mechanical seals are advanced seals used to seal machines and equipment. They are usually made of metal and ceramic materials and have characteristics such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and low temperature resistance. Mechanical seals are mainly used in high-speed rotating equipment, such as centrifugal pumps, compressors, fans, centrifugal separators, etc.
4. O Ring
O-ring is a common sealing element, usually made of rubber material. They have good sealing performance and elasticity, and can be used to seal various liquids and gases. O-ring is mainly used in fields such as automobiles, machinery, and electronic equipment.
5. U-shaped ring
A U-shaped ring is a sealing element with a U-shaped cross-section, usually made of rubber material. They have good sealing performance and elasticity, and can be used to seal various liquids and gases. U-rings are mainly used in hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, automotive braking systems, and other fields.
6. V-ring
A V-ring is a sealing element with a V-shaped cross-section, usually made of rubber material. They have good sealing performance and elasticity, and can be used to seal various liquids and gases. V-rings are mainly used in fields such as automobiles, industrial machinery, and hydraulic systems.
7. X-shaped ring
An X-ring is a sealing element with an X-shaped cross-section, usually made of rubber material. They have good sealing performance and elasticity, and can be used to seal various liquids and gases. The X-ring is mainly used in hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, automotive braking systems, and other fields.
In summary, the Base Seals product category covers a variety of seals and can meet the sealing needs of various machines and equipment. Both automobiles, industrial machinery, and electronic equipment require the use of Base Seals products to ensure the normal operation of machines and equipment.
