Vibration Pads

Vibration pads provide an isolation layer beneath equipment to help reduce vibration and, in applicable designs, structure-borne noise. They are used in commercial and industrial settings for equipment such as pumps, motors, air-conditioning units, generators, fans, and supported components, with pad styles available for broad equipment bases, compact contact points, no-bolt placement, and higher load-bearing applications.

Helpful Buying Guide

Choose a Vibration Pad for Your Equipment Layout

Compare pad construction, footprint, thickness, installation approach, and stated load needs before selecting a vibration-control solution. The available options range from broad, cuttable anti-vibration pads for minor, non-critical vibration to compact ribbed pads and natural rubber load-bearing pads with stated maximum capacities.

Use Cases

Support common equipment installations

Broad anti-vibration pads are suited to compatible pumps, motors, air-conditioning units, generators, and fans. Compact pads can be used beneath equipment or components where a smaller contact area is needed.

How to Choose

Match the pad to the footprint and load need

Start with the required support area, then compare pad dimensions and thickness. For higher-load applications, choose from the natural rubber load-bearing styles using the stated maximum load capacity and controlled 1/8-inch deflection at maximum load.

Applications

Plan around placement conditions

Select waffle or suction-cup styles when avoiding bolting is a priority. Choose ribbed EVA or rubber cork pads when grip and an isolation layer at equipment contact points are important; certain EVA options are identified for outdoor applications.

Additional Information

Review cutting and order requirements

Certain 18-inch square anti-vibration pads are field-cuttable for installation-area trimming. Minimum order quantities vary: some compact 4-inch EVA and rubber cork pads have a minimum of four, while several other listed pads have a minimum of one.

2-1/4 to 18 in.Square footprints

Available pad footprints span compact mounting spaces through broader equipment bases.

3/8 to 1-1/8 in.Pad thicknesses

Represented profiles provide several height options for installation planning.

Up to 25,000 lb.Stated maximum load

The 10 x 10 x 1 inch natural rubber load-bearing pad has the highest stated capacity in the summaries.

1/8 in.Maximum-load deflection

The natural rubber load-bearing pads are designed to deflect this amount at maximum load.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with the installation

Size the pad for the equipment base or support point

A pad should fit the planned equipment-support layout. The represented range includes compact 2-1/4-inch, 4-inch, 6-inch, and 10-inch square options as well as broad 18-inch square pads. Thicknesses include 3/8 inch, 3/4 inch, 7/8 inch, 1 inch, and 1-1/8 inches.

  • Use 18-inch square pads for compatible broader equipment bases.
  • Consider 4-inch square pads for compact vibration-control contact points.
  • Use the defined 6-inch or 10-inch load-bearing footprints when planning support layouts.
  • Consider field-cuttable anti-vibration pads when trimming is needed during installation.
Compare construction and placement

Choose the surface and structure that suit the application

Waffle-pattern anti-vibration pads use integrated suction cups to support placement without bolting. EVA and rubber cork pads have ribbed dual surfaces with alternating high-low ribs for grip, isolation, and sound attenuation. Rubber-and-steel or neoprene-and-steel designs use rubber layers separated by steel to help distribute supported loads evenly.

  • Choose suction-cup, waffle-pattern styles for no-bolt placement.
  • Choose ribbed EVA or rubber cork pads for positive grip at contact points.
  • Consider rubber-and-steel or neoprene-and-steel layered pads where uniform load distribution is needed.
  • Use outdoor-suitable EVA pads for applicable outdoor installations.
Confirm load requirements

Use stated capacity information for load-bearing selections

Natural rubber load-bearing pads are available in compact square sizes with stated maximum load capacities. The 4 x 4 x 1 inch pad supports up to 2,400 lb., the 6 x 6 x 1 inch pad supports up to 7,900 lb., and the 10 x 10 x 1 inch pad supports up to 25,000 lb. Each is designed to deflect 1/8 inch at maximum load.

  • Confirm the equipment load before choosing a load-bearing pad.
  • Compare the stated maximum capacity with the planned application.
  • Use the listed 1/8-inch maximum-load deflection as part of the selection review.
  • Do not treat pads intended for minor, non-critical vibration as substitutes for a stated higher-load option.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What equipment can vibration pads support?

The summaries identify use beneath pumps, motors, air-conditioning units, generators, fans, equipment, and supported components, depending on the pad style and installation.

Which vibration pads can be installed without bolting?
