Anti Vibration Rubber Mounts
High Performance Anti Vibration Mountings Manufactured in South Africa
What are Anti Vibration Rubber Mounts?
Anti vibration rubber mounts are specialized parts designed to reduce the transmission of vibrations, noise, and shock between equipment and their surroundings. These rubber mountings are typically made from durable rubber compounds and are strategically placed in machinery, engines, pumps, or vehicles to absorb vibrations, ensuring smoother operation and preventing damage to sensitive parts.
By isolating vibrations, anti vibration rubber mountings help protect equipment from wear and tear, extend the lifespan of machinery, and improve comfort in environments such as vehicles and industrial plants.
Types of anti vibration mounts
Anti vibration rubber mountings come in several different types, each designed to meet specific needs in various industries. Here are the most common types:
Cylindrical Rubber Mounts
Cylindrical mounts are one of the most versatile and widely used types. Their simple, cylindrical shape makes them ideal for absorbing vibrations in both vertical and horizontal directions. These mounts are commonly used in machinery, compressors, and automotive applications where space is limited but vibration control is crucial.
Conical Rubber Mountings
Conical mounts are designed with a tapered shape, allowing them to absorb more vibration at lower frequencies. They are often used in automotive and industrial machinery applications, especially when there is a need for high load-bearing capacity and superior shock absorption.
Sandwich Mounts
Sandwich mounts are composed of layers of rubber between metal plates, creating a durable and flexible design that can handle high vibrations and impacts. They are commonly used in heavy machinery, engines, and generators, where strong vibration isolation is essential to prevent damage.
Rubber Pads and Bushes
Rubber pads and bushes are typically used in smaller applications but still play an important role in reducing vibrations and noise. These mounts are perfect for equipment such as HVAC systems, pumps, and fans, where small but effective vibration control is needed.

Anti Vibration Rubber Mounting FAQ
What are anti vibration rubber mounts used for?
Anti vibration rubber mountings are used to isolate and reduce vibrations, noise, and shock in machinery and equipment. They’re commonly used in automotive engines, generators, HVAC systems, industrial machines, pumps, compressors, and marine equipment to protect components and ensure smoother operation.
Do rubber mounts really reduce vibration?
Yes, rubber mounts are specifically designed to absorb and dampen vibrations. The rubber material compresses and flexes to reduce the transfer of vibration and shock from equipment to its surroundings, making operations quieter and more stable.
How do I choose the right anti vibration mount?
Choosing the right anti vibration mount depends on factors such as the weight of the equipment, the frequency of vibration, the type of application, and environmental conditions.
It’s best to consult with a manufacturer like Delta Rubber to ensure the mount is properly sized and made from the right rubber compound.
What types of rubber are used in vibration mounts?
Common rubber compounds used in anti vibration mounts include natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile, silicone, EPDM, and butyl. Each material has unique properties (such as resistance to oil, heat, or weather) that make it suitable for specific applications.
Can you get custom anti vibration rubber mountings?
Yes, many manufacturers—including Delta Rubber—offer custom anti vibration rubber mounts designed to meet specific load, shape, and environmental requirements. Custom mounts ensure better performance and longevity in specialized equipment.
Are anti vibration rubber mounts suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, certain anti vibration rubber mounts are made with weather-resistant materials like EPDM or silicone, making them suitable for outdoor and harsh environments. These compounds resist UV, ozone, and temperature extremes.
