The work conducts laboratory tests on the rubber of the first group of GOST 8752-70 with the introduction of the metal components. The filler is introduced into the rubber mixture on laboratory rollers. Fine powders of copper (Cu), tin (Sn) and lead (Pb) are used as fillers. The dependences of the temperature in the contact zone of the sample and the body of revolution on the concentration of the filler and the dependence of wear on the concentration of the filler for the same loads and sliding

... speeds are obtained, the fillers that give the rubber the greatest wear resistance are revealed, and the rational amount of the filler is determined. The positive results of laboratory tests give grounds to recommend various equipment including aerospace equipment for use in sealing devices of hydraulic systems, rubber products with metal fillers in the indicated concentrations, which will extend their service life and increase their reliability
