Rubber Dampers
Description:
Rubber dampers, commonly referred to as shock absorbers, play a crucial role in minimizing the shock transmitted to surrounding structures. They function effectively because the rubber material can deflect when subjected to shock loads, effectively absorbing the impact. Typically, rubber dampers feature a design where rubber is adhered to a metal plate, which comes with several fixing holes for straightforward installation.

We offer a broad range of dimensions and rubber hardness options from stock, and we are also capable of manufacturing rectangular buffers and rubber dampers tailored to meet your specific needs.
At GMT Rubber, we specialize in crafting tailored solutions for our clients' shock and vibration challenges. Please reach out if you require assistance or would like some advice!
Benefits:
Rectangular buffers boast a straightforward construction and can be produced from various rubber compounds and metal types, including mild steel or stainless steel, to accommodate diverse application requirements. GMT is also equipped to manufacture the necessary cross-section in 2-meter-long rails using our universal mould tooling, which can then be cut to the desired rectangular buffer length.
Why Rubber Is Used As Vibration Absorbers
Rubber is preferred for vibration damping due to its relatively high shear modulus when compared to other materials. This property allows rubber to endure higher levels of shear stress before any permanent deformation occurs. Consequently, when vibrations exert stress on rubber materials, rubber vibration absorbers or isolators can effectively absorb significant vibratory stress without breaking or transferring vibrations.
Are Rubber Vibration Isolators the Same As Vibration Dampers?
Rubber vibration isolators differ from vibration dampers. The former serve to prevent the transfer of vibrations from one component or material to another by either stiffening or absorbing vibratory forces, with examples including hydraulic mounts and anti-vibration mounts used in industrial machinery and automotive engines. In contrast, rubber vibration dampers are designed to disperse vibratory forces away from the assembly into the environment, benefiting from a high damping coefficient that enables them to return quickly to their steady state after disturbance. Although rubber vibration dampers can diminish vibrations, the residual vibratory energy is dissipated as heat. Some common examples include rubber vibration damping pads, vibration dampers for air conditioning systems, and archery stabilizers, known as doinkers.
Why Do Custom Rubber Vibration Absorbers Perform Better?
The innate properties of rubber—such as hardness, elasticity, and stress and strain resistance—can be greatly enhanced through custom compound mixing, a specialty of Coi Rubber Products. By compounding rubber polymers with specific fillers and additives and leveraging extensive expertise to custom mold these compounds, a product emerges that offers superior performance and durability while achieving considerable cost savings. With in-house custom compounding, Coi Rubber can infuse properties like low and high-temperature resistance, sunlight and ozone resistance, chemical resistance, oil and water resistance, swell resistance, and more into your rubber vibration isolator or damper. Additionally, Coi Rubber Products maintains a dedicated rubber-to-metal bonding department for specialized applications.
