Heavy-duty engineered rubber vibration isolation pads are used to absorb vibrations and shock, protecting flooring surfaces and equipment from damage. At RD Rubber Technology Corporation, our engineering teams use elastomeric materials to create custom vibration isolation pads that meet the stringent standards of defense, aerospace, and space exploration industries. Learn more about the applications and benefits of our custom vibration isolation pads, including our certifications to fulfill critical-to-function applications.
Custom-Molded Rubber Parts for Heavy-Duty Protective Applications
Equipment must be protected and stabilized from vibration and shock in order to function as intended. At RD Rubber Technology Corporation, we have the capabilities and resources to produce custom-molded industrial vibration isolation pads that act as stabilizers and protective barriers for sensitive equipment.
Custom anti-vibration pads are essential add-ons for critical-to-function assemblies, offering benefits that include:
- Reduced noise and vibration. They can be installed between misaligned surfaces to mitigate vibration and dampen noise, improving nearby operator comfort and safety.
- System interface protection. Vibration isolation pads protect military system interfaces from abrasion and damage due to long-term vibration exposure.
- Protecting internal components. By protecting system interfaces, industrial vibration isolation pads can reduce jostling of sensitive internal components, even in rugged applications.
Abrasion and Environmental Resistance for Critical-to-Function Systems
Our custom-molded industrial anti-vibration pads are engineered for critical-to-function systems, which must be protected from unexpected downtime or compromised performance. A few examples of critical-to-function applications that benefit from protective vibration isolation pads are:
- Defense: Mobile command vehicles, weapon system guidance units, sonar and radar enclosures
- Aerospace: Avionics and flight control computers, optical and infrared surveillance gimbals, fuel pumps
- Space exploration: launch vehicle payload interfaces, life support systems, cryogenic cooling and instrumentation
RD Rubber works with a variety of engineered thermoset elastomers to provide enhanced protection against vibration, shock, and abrasion, which include but is not limited to the following:
- Nitrile (NBR). Nitrile anti-vibration pads are ideal for applications requiring exceptional oil and lubricant resistance.
- EPDM. With excellent resistance to UV, ozone, and weathering, this material is used for industrial vibration isolation pads installed outdoors.
Our engineering specialists can help you select the right material and production method for your needs, building to spec to meet your application parameters.
