What Are Rubber Pads?
Rubber pads are flat components manufactured from elastomer materials and designed to sit between surfaces, equipment or structures.
They are commonly used to:
- Absorb vibration
- Reduce noise
- Distribute loads
- Protect surfaces
- Prevent movement
- Increase grip
- Reduce impact damage
Rubber pads are widely used where metal-to-metal contact would cause wear, noise or vibration.
Why Choose Rubber Pads?
Vibration Reduction
One of the primary functions of rubber pads is vibration absorption.
Benefits include:
- Reduced equipment wear
