Vibration Pads are used to reduce noise and vibration and to

eliminate the need for bolting down. The flat configuration
minimizes machine elevation. This low cost method conveniently solves or prevents problems that do not warrant the use

of either rubber or spring mountings. As a general rule,

pads are recommended to eliminate high frequency
noise, bolting, minor vibration problems in upper
stories or for ground floor and non critical applications.
BBNR Bridge Bearing Pads

We use the term Bridge Bearing as an indication of quality. All bearings
that support bridges or highway overpasses use Neoprene or Natural
Rubber compounds, so the molded product has high tensile and elongation
characteristics and minimal permanent set and creep. Similarly, they must
pass rigid tests in ozone and oxygen resistance.
When the pads are used for vibration isolation in supporting buildings or
components such as structural floors, secondary floating floors, maximum
Dynamic Stiffness is another specified characteristic. This is important as
the Dynamic Stiffness, Deflection and the shape of the Load Deflection
curve controls frequency.
Bearing pads are always solid pads (unlike our waffle pads), because
loadings per square inch are high, often in the range of 1000psi (70kg/cm2).
Capacities are controlled by area, hardness (durometer), thickness and
perimeter relative to the loaded area.
Most of the time we design these pads to specific requirements as
explained in Bulletin AB-104-2 in the Architectural Section, but we thought
it would be helpful to offer some stock sizes for immediate shipment.
While they can certainly be used in acoustical applications, there is a
constant contractor need for a high capacity pad for pipe supports,
structural supports, etc., in the load range of these pads.
Pads can be stacked with 1/8(3mm) steel plates between them up to
250psi(17.5 kg/cm2) for higher deflections and greater efficiency. Higher
loadings per square inch (cm2) require bonded inserts to avoid pancaking.
NK Neoprene & Cork Sandwich Pad

Type NK pads are isolation sandwiches made by
laminating a thick cork center core between two neoprene
pads. This arrangement of the materials forces sound to
pass through zones of different density with subsequent
power losses because of the change in velocity. This pad
is primarily recommended for acoustical rather than
vibration problems when is is desirable to use a thick
economical pad. Standard materials are loaded 50 lbs. per
square inch (3.5 kg/cm2). Pads are 1(25mm) thick and can
be furnished 18x 18(450x450mm) or cut to exact size
in addition to the tabulated sizes.

HL Neoprene Impregnated Duck Pads

Type HL pads are manufactured by impregnating layer on
layer of woven cotton duck with natural or synthetic rubber.
This process is carried on in a rubber press where the heat
and pressure produces an extremely tough final product that
is particularly suited to applications where alignment must be
maintained. Typical applications are drop hammer anvil pads,
printing press column supports, bridge roadway bearing
pads, craneway supports, etc. Maximum loading of 1000 lbs.
per square inch (70 kg/cm2). Pads are always furnished cut to
size in the required thickness. The advantage of HL pads is
consistent loading per square inch (cm2) unaffected by area
as capacity is dependent on the layers of cotton duck only.

W Neoprene Waffle Pads
The Type W Neoprene Waffle Pad has greater carrying capacity per
square inch, increased holding power and a built in contamination seal.
Identical rubber grids are molded back to back for maximum rubber
contact area and resistance to rib collapse or hinging. The
interconnections form suction pockets for gripping smooth steel as well as
rough surfaces and also act as dirt and oil dams at the perimeter
regardless of how the pad is cut. The square waffle pattern is laid out on
1/2(13mm) centers to facilitate cutting pads to size in the field without the
need for measuring with a tape measure.
While there is no need for bolting or cementing on most installations, Type
"W" Adhesive may be used for securing machines that have exceptionally
large horizontal forces. The adhesive is also useful when the pad is made
part of an assembly or shipped cemented to machinery legs.
Waffle Pad is stocked in both 40 and 50 durometer Neoprene. The high
tensile black stock has been selected for its oil resistance and physical
specifications. Natural Rubber, Hycar, Butyl, Silicone or other of the
Elastomers can be furnished for special conditions. Pricing would be
dependent on material and quantity. Standard pads are 5/16"(8mm) thick
and may be purchased 24 x 48(600 x 1200mm), 24 x 24(600 x
600mm), 18 x 36"(450 x 900mm), 18" x 18"(450 x 450mm) or cut to size.

W pads are often used in 2 or 3 layers cemented to 16 gauge steel plates

between layers to form SWW wall supports. Assemblies are normally
6(1.8m) long and 6, 8, 10 or 12 (150, 200, 250 or 300mm) wide to match
wall width.

Ni Nitrile Waffle Pads

Nitrile has the best oil resistance of all the natural and synthetic rubber materials. It is
superior to Neoprene and recommended for all locations where there is constant or
intermittent exposure to oil, grease or gasoline.
Mason type Ni Nitrile pads provide friction and avoid bolting as well as vibration
isolation under:
Drill presses
Milling machines
Shears
Lathes
Punch presses
And similar machines
May be used in multi layers separated by 16 gauge steel plates for greater efficiency.
