Have you ever stopped to think over what uses rubber moldings are put to? Most products made of rubber that you can think of offhand are of specific shapes and dimensions. Whether it is a rubber ball, a rubber pipe or some kind of gasket or washer, even dock buffers, need to be manufactured by pouring liquid rubber into patterns or molds to get that shape and size. This means that almost any rubber product which needs to be customized needs to be put into a die in solid, semi-solid or even liquid state to acquire its designed pattern.

Conversely, many other products made of other kinds of materials need to be cast in rubber moldings to create fancy shapes. This is particularly true of all those fancy shaped eatables on the market. A fine example are grommets used in automobiles, electric wires, cords and ropes and even in furniture, surgical instruments and crafts to keep things positioned. Rubber moldings offer significant benefits, and there are myriad products to dampen vibration, improve performance and even increase the lifespan of various products.

It is critical that you use the right rubber for your application. For instance, natural rubber is only a good solution in applications where temperatures do not exceed 150 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, if oil immersion is a concern, then natural rubber is not a good solution, as it will degrade. Rubber moldings can, of course, be made of neoprene rubber or polyurethane. Producing quality rubber moldings is a complex process. So it means you should deal with a manufacturer who has in-depth knowledge of the requisite engineering principles.

Noise pollution is an insidious enemy because we often fail to recognize when noise levels have reached unacceptable highs. While many transporters use rubber buffers and loading bays to prevent damage to goods during loading and unloading, few do so to muffle sounds. Yet, when you come to think about it the sheer racket caused by packages hitting the ground and/or truck bottom can be quite distressing to someone who is sensitive to sound.

A major culprit in this matter is vibration. Whether it is parts of a machine vibrating enough to create a jarring noise or some other vibration caused by running a generator, one way of muffling the sound is to use anti vibration mounts. You'll need to know more about the forces at work in your application to choose the right control solution. For example, some designs are good for withstanding compression, while others are better at withstanding and dampening shearing. Others can work well for both.

Using the right design for the anti vibration mounts is vital - cylindrical, compression, pads, strips, square mounts, conical mounts, plate mounts and grommets all offer noise control and vibration dampening, but work in different ways. There is a standard range of pedestal anti vibration mounts for general industrial uses covering a range of 7-150kg and which can be used at frequencies down to 900rpm.
