Product Overview
Rubber feet for metal chairs cover the hard tube ends that would otherwise meet the floor. The internal shape should support the end of the tube across the base of the foot, rather than leave a thin metal edge bearing against an unsupported sidewall. This relationship matters especially when replacing a missing original fitting.
Examine the exposed leg before choosing the replacement. A bent tube, projecting weld or sharp cut can damage new rubber from the inside, where early wear is difficult to see. Round and rectangular tubing need different receiving profiles even when their maximum widths are similar.
Seat the foot fully and check it with the chair standing in its normal position. The leg should not pierce the base or hold the cover at an angle. Moving a chair repeatedly over an abrasive floor can wear through the underside, so include the feet in routine furniture checks. Replace a worn fitting before the concealed metal edge begins to contact the floor again.
- Material options
- Custom rubber compound and color, selected for the contact conditions and required geometry.
- Hardness range
- 30–90 Shore A for rubber. Compare firmness under load at the intended contact face. The internal shape should support the end of the tube across the base of the foot, rather than leave a thin metal edge bearing against an unsupported sidewall.

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.
