Rubber Pads

Rubber Pads

Rubber pads used in industrial settings are elastomeric floor mats designed to insulate machinery against vibration, reduce structure-born noise, and lower the risk of equipment damage.  They may also protect against slippage.  These rubber pads are ideal for heavy machinery, including metal forming equipment, large presses and power generation equipment.  They are often placed under machinery or anything that generates high intensity noise levels.  Rubber pads are an efficient and economically smart choice and most often used in factory settings.  They are found in machineries such as air conditioning and refrigeration plants.

These rubber mats are made out of neoprene, polychloroprene or nitrile rubber, which are all synthetic forms of rubber.  Often, they are made from a combination of cork and rubber.  They come in many different shapes, sizes and thicknesses, and usually can be custom made.  They are rated by their PSI, or pounds per square inch.  Many have ribs, holes or a grid format and are generally black or dark grey.  Because they have no moving parts and are generally made out of 1 material, using rubber pads as a form of vibration dampening is very inexpensive.  Since they have a high tolerance to both very low and high temperatures, they can be used in a variety of different factory settings.
