Description
Vibration Isolation Pads
Vibration Isolation pads are a synthetic polymer based material designed to take differing maximum loads, depending on type used. A superior acoustic grade Sorbothane alternative.
These isolation pads are ideal for lighter loads such as smaller machines. Often suitable for drum riser builds.
They can be trimmed down in size to ‘tune’ for optimum loadings. For example a Type42 cut in half will accept 20kg per section.
They should not be point loaded. A UDL on them is required so in some cases a piece of timber or metal plate should be used to spread the point load over the whole surface of the pad.
Supplied as 100x100x25mm individual vibration isolation pads.
Types
Type28 (up to 25kg per pad)
Type42 (up to 40kg per pad)
Type55 (up to 50kg per pad)
Type110 (up to 100kg per pad)
Advantages
- High elasticity, long service life
- Static range of use of 0.011 N/mm2 to 1.2 N/mm2
- Load peaks up to 6.0 N/mm2
- Very low amplitude dependence
- Proven long-term behaviour
- High fatigue strength
- Finely graded range (10 standard types) for optimum system design
- Ability to provide customer-specific modifications
