Specialised solutions for rubber products that dampen vibrations
Vibration-damping rubber products are used to reduce and absorb vibrations in various applications, protecting equipment and improving comfort and safety. They are important in industries such as automotive, machinery manufacturing and construction.
Common rubber products for vibration damping include:
- Vibration dampers: Components placed under machines or motors to isolate and reduce the transmission of vibrations.
- Engine mounts: Specially designed mounts that absorb engine vibrations, reducing noise and protecting the vehicle frame and components.
- Rubber cushions: Used in buildings and on machinery to reduce vibrations and protect structures from damage.
- Vibration isolators: Installed on equipment to prevent vibrations from spreading to surrounding structures.
Rubber is an ideal material for these products because of its flexibility, durability and ability to return to its original shape after deformation. Materials such as natural rubber, neoprene and EPDM are often used for their excellent cushioning properties and resistance to oils, chemicals and temperature variations.
"Reverse engineering" in practice
Design and development usually involves projects where we produce drawings, specifications and prototypes of new parts, but sometimes the reverse also occurs - 'reverse engineering'.

Vibration problems in manufacturing industry
One of our customers installed a new manufacturing machine in a machine-dense production environment. During start-up of the new machine, vibrations were found to be so strong that they propagated to the neighbouring machines.
