Component Specifications

Definition
An elastomeric element is a flexible component made from rubber or polymer materials, designed to isolate vibrations and absorb shocks in machinery mounts. It functions by deforming under load to dissipate kinetic energy, reducing transmission of vibrations to surrounding structures and improving operational stability.
Working Principle
Works through viscoelastic deformation: when subjected to dynamic loads, the elastomer compresses, shears, or bends, converting mechanical energy into heat through internal friction, thereby damping vibrations and isolating the machine from external disturbances.
Materials
Typically made from natural rubber, synthetic rubber (e.g., neoprene, silicone, EPDM), or polyurethane, with hardness ranging from 30 to 80 Shore A, and may include additives for UV, oil, or chemical resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Hardness 40-70 Shore A
  • Damping Ratio 0.05-0.15
  • Load Capacity 50-5000 N
  • Dynamic Stiffness 5-50 N/mm
  • Temperature Range -40°C to 100°C
Standards
ISO 10846, DIN 53504
