Mountings serves as a support, setting, or backing. Rubber mountings are
very popular, available in various shapes and sizes and easily installed.
Types of Rubber used in Rubber mountings
Features of Rubber Mountings
- Mountings are moulded in oil-resistant elastomer.
- They are coloured for load identification.
- They provide an economic solution for many applications.
- Mountings are specifically designed to give high resilience at low
loads.
- The rubber mount design allows high deflection.
- Rubber mountings are compact in weight.
- They are easy to install.
Advantages
- Mountings made of rubber because they have tight tolerances on
dynamic stiffness rate for accurate vibration calculations.
- They have wide load rating options.
- Rubber mounts have corrosion protection by which they can cope with
arduous environments on land or marine applications.
- Rubber mounts are ideal for applications which involve isolation of
low frequency vibrations in all planes.
- Rubber mountings are also suitable for shock attenuation. This is
possible due to the designed ability which gives large deflections while
providing passive vibration on electronic instruments, measuring
equipment, test cells etc.
