Custom made Rubber Shock Pad with 3m adhesive

A Rubber Shock Pad adds a compliant contact where parts meet during the intended movement of an assembly. Its position should follow the actual contact path. A pad that sits close to the impact area may remain largely unloaded while a nearby hard edge continues to take the contact.

The structure, material, dimensions, hardness and color can be customized, with adhesive backing selected for the mounting surface. Evaluate the pad's thickness and area together with the available movement. Increasing thickness can change the final closed position or bring another part into contact before the pad behaves as intended.

For an adhesive design, consider the direction in which contact loads the bond. Repeated sideways scraping places different demands on the attachment from direct compression. Prepare the surface and follow the application conditions of the selected adhesive before evaluating the mechanism.

Observe the assembled contact over the required operating sequence. Check for displacement, edge damage or the rubber compressing until surrounding hard surfaces meet. Any reduction in shock depends on the full design and must be evaluated there. Replace a damaged pad after investigating the contact path so the new part is not immediately exposed to the same cutting or peeling action.
