Made for Your Application
Rubber pads are discrete elastomer components that receive repeated contact, sliding or compressive loads. Their compound and surface can be selected for grip, oil resistance, weatherability or heat performance, with adhesive used when a permanent location is needed.
Material advantage
Compared with foam, solid rubber better withstands repeated loading and abrasion while maintaining useful friction and recovery.
Key features
- High-grip contact
- repeated-load durability
- custom Shore hardness
- textured surfaces
- adhesive or screw-mount layouts.

Manufacturing & Finish Options
Production process
Die cutting, waterjet cutting, CNC cutting, moulding for 3D forms and PSA lamination
Manufacturing notes
Contact area, edge radius and texture are adjusted to prevent creep, edge curl and local overload.
Adhesive options
Acrylic PSA, rubber PSA, high-temperature acrylic or no adhesive for mechanically retained pads.
Surface options
Smooth, ribbed, pebble texture, fabric-impression, matte or glossy compound finish.
Where It Fits
Best for
- Equipment feet, door stops, anti-rattle pads, machine interfaces, protective bumpers and grip pads.
Common industries
- Industrial equipment, appliances, electronics, automotive, tools, furniture and transportation.
Consider another option when
Large-impact isolation without adequate pad area, aggressive chemical media without compound validation, or food-contact claims without documented compliance.
Design & Engineering Notes
Design guidelines
Spread load across a generous footprint; add radii and consider a texture when slip resistance matters.
Engineering notes
A pad that is too soft can creep under sustained load; a pad that is too hard may transmit vibration instead of isolating it.
Selection Guide
Select silicone for heat flexibility, EPDM for outdoor use, NBR for many oil-contact uses and natural/SBR compounds for general grip.
Material comparison
Rubber pads outlast foam pads under cycling and grip better than felt; silicone pads are preferred where heat range or cleanliness dominates.
Standards & requirements
Customer drawing, material data sheet and agreed load, abrasion or environmental test criteria.
Drawing Requirements
PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, AI, CAD screenshots and dimensioned sketches can be reviewed. Don’t have a CAD drawing? A dimensioned PDF, sketch or clear image may be sufficient for an initial review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hardness should an anti-vibration rubber pad use?
Start from the supported load and desired deflection; medium Shore A grades are common, then validate the equipment response.
Can rubber pads have adhesive on one side only?
Yes. Single-sided PSA is common for locating feet and bumpers while leaving the contact face exposed.
Do textured pads provide better grip?
Texture can increase grip and channel contaminants, but the right pattern depends on the mating surface and load.
Can rubber pads be used outdoors?
EPDM is commonly selected for outdoor weather exposure; confirm temperature, UV exposure and any chemicals.
