Shock absorption rubber feet rubber mounts

Shock absorption rubber feet introduce a deformable contact layer beneath equipment that experiences brief forces during handling or placement. Their role differs from evaluating only steady vibration: a housing being set down or a supported assembly reaching a stop produces a short contact event. The part needs to be reviewed for that event together with the mass, travel and surrounding clearances of the equipment.

Describe how the force occurs before choosing the profile. State whether the equipment is normally lowered onto a bench, moved within a fixture or subjected to another defined handling action. Identify the contact positions and any part of the housing that must remain clear of the supporting surface. The rubber needs room to deform without allowing unintended rigid contact elsewhere in the assembly.

Custom size, shape, hardness and material options are available through ETOL. A useful sample comparison considers both the immediate movement and the condition of the feet afterward. A very compliant part may change the resting position more than desired, while an overly constrained profile may offer little useful travel. No general impact rating follows from the product name, so establish the acceptance criteria for the complete equipment.

Fit shock absorption rubber feet with their contact faces aligned to the expected force and their retention features fully engaged. During testing, inspect for bottoming against nearby hardware, sideways displacement and permanent flattening. Check that the normal support height remains suitable after the agreed handling sequence. Keep the bases clean and review worn parts before their reduced thickness allows the enclosure to contact the surface directly. When requesting development support, include the underside layout, equipment mass and a description of the placement event. This allows the proposed foot to be assessed against a defined handling condition instead of an unspecified promise of shock protection.

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: The rubber needs room to deform without allowing unintended rigid contact elsewhere in the assembly.

Custom profile & fit

A very compliant part may change the resting position more than desired, while an overly constrained profile may offer little useful travel.

Assembly considerations

Fit shock absorption rubber feet with their contact faces aligned to the expected force and their retention features fully engaged.

Design check

Check that the normal support height remains suitable after the agreed handling sequence.
