Product Overview
Protective rubber tips for chair legs are customized around the furniture's contact with the floor. The tip should match the end profile and its operating angle, allowing the base to meet the surface without a narrow edge taking all the contact.
ETOL can change structure, dimensions, material, hardness and color. Examine the bare leg before selecting the replacement, especially if the old tip has worn unevenly. A slanted cut, bent section or partially seated cover can explain why one side of the rubber has carried more wear.
Fit the chosen tip with the chair supported and inspect the whole base after lowering it. It should remain retained when the chair is lifted, without rolling sideways during ordinary repositioning. Keep grit off the floor-facing surface and check the mouth for tears whenever the cover is removed. Replacing a worn tip is also an opportunity to correct the original fit; copying the distorted shape of the old part may reproduce the same uneven contact in the new one.
- Material options
- Custom rubber compound and color, selected for the contact conditions and required geometry.
- Hardness range
- 30–90 Shore A for rubber. Assess the grade against this fit requirement: Replacing a worn tip is also an opportunity to correct the original fit; copying the distorted shape of the old part may reproduce the same uneven contact in the new one.
- Custom profile & fit
- The tip should match the end profile and its operating angle, allowing the base to meet the surface without a narrow edge taking all the contact.
- Assembly considerations
- Fit the chosen tip with the chair supported and inspect the whole base after lowering it.
- Design check
- Keep grit off the floor-facing surface and check the mouth for tears whenever the cover is removed.

Ordering this custom component
Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Which details should be agreed before tooling?
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
Can a sample help define the replacement?
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
How is the quotation for this part determined?
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
