Rubber or Elastomer Mounts

Q: Why are rubber mountings used in machinery?

Rubber mountings absorb vibrations generated by machines, preventing damage to components and reducing noise. They ensure smooth and stable operation by handling both axial and radial vibrations.

Q: Where are rubber mountings used?

Rubber mountings are used across industries including HVAC systems, pumps, generators, CNC machines, printing presses, and in large infrastructure projects where vibration control is critical.

Q: How do rubber mountings work?

Rubber mountings use viscoelastic properties to absorb and dissipate vibrational energy, converting it into low-level thermal energy. This reduces structural fatigue, noise, and component wear.

Q: How do I choose the right rubber mounting?

Key factors include machine weight, vibration type, operating speed, installation space, and environmental conditions like temperature or oil exposure. Resistoflex provides expert guidance for selection.

Q: In what applications are rubber mountings used?

Rubber mountings are used in mobile machinery (railways), marine industry (ships, offshore platforms), and both indoor/outdoor industrial equipment installations.

Q: Can rubber mountings be customized?

Yes, Resistoflex offers custom mountings with special load capacities, hardness, dimensions, or rubber compounds resistant to oil, chemicals, or extreme temperatures.

Rubber mountings are essential components used to reduce vibration and noise in industrial machinery, DG sets, compressors, HVAC units, and more. At Resistoflex, we manufacture high-quality rubber mountings in India that ensure smooth and noise-free operation of your equipment. Whether you're setting up a generator base or a heavy-duty industrial machine, our rubber mountings provide reliable shock absorption, long-lasting performance, and easy installation.

Why Use Rubber Mountings?

Reduce equipment noise and vibration
Protect machinery from shock and wear
Improve performance and operational safety
Easy to install and maintain
Extend equipment lifespan

Applications

Rubber mountings are widely used in:

Diesel generator (DG) sets
HVAC systems
Compressors and pumps
Heavy industrial machines
Marine and automotive applications

How to Choose the Right Rubber Mounting?

Choosing the right mount depends on:

Load capacity (weight of the machine)
Frequency of vibration
Mounting position
Installation environment (indoor/outdoor)

We help you select the ideal mounting based on these technical factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rubber mounting? +

A rubber mounting is a specially designed component made from natural or synthetic elastomers that absorbs and controls vibration, shock, and noise from machinery. It works like a cushion between the machine and the surface it rests on. At Resistoflex, our rubber mountings are engineered with precise load and deflection characteristics so that they not only reduce vibration but also extend the life of your equipment.

Why are rubber mountings used in machinery? +

Industrial machines running at high speeds generate vibration, which can loosen bolts, damage bearings, and create excessive noise. Rubber mountings absorb these vibrations before they propagate, ensuring smooth and stable machine operation. Resistoflex mountings are designed to handle both axial and radial vibrations, making them a reliable choice for long-term performance in industrial and commercial setups.

Where are rubber mountings used? +

They are used across multiple industries — from HVAC systems (compressors, fans, chillers) to pumps, generators, CNC machines, printing presses. Resistoflex supplies rubber mountings to manufacturing plants, workshops, and infrastructure projects where vibration control is critical.

How do rubber mountings work? +

When a machine generates vibrations, the resulting mechanical energy propagates through the surrounding structure, potentially causing structural fatigue, noise emission, and component wear. A rubber mounting mitigates this by utilizing its viscoelastic properties to absorb and dissipate vibrational energy, converting it into low-level thermal energy. Resistoflex mountings are precision-engineered with optimized geometric profiles and calibrated material hardness (durometer) to deliver an ideal balance between dynamic vibration isolation and static load-bearing capacity.

What are the different types of rubber mountings? +

Rubber mountings come in many designs and ranges depending on the application. Common types include bell-shaped isolators, Coniflex, Cup mounts, Flexifloat, Fleximount, Genflex, Equiflex, and Stabiflex. Resistoflex offers all these types with specific engineering for load capacity, deflection range, and durability — ensuring you get the right fit for your machinery.

How do I choose the right rubber mounting? +

You should consider the weight of your machine, the type of vibration it produces, its operating speed, available installation space, and environmental conditions like temperature, oil exposure, or outdoor placement. You can visit or contact Resistoflex for expert guidance on all your mounting requirements.

In what applications are rubber mountings used? +

Rubber mountings are widely used in mobile machinery applications such as railways, as well as in both indoor and outdoor equipment installations. They are also extensively employed in naval vessels, offshore platforms, and various other marine industry applications, offering durability, vibration isolation, and resistance to challenging operating conditions.

Can rubber mountings be customized? +

Yes. Resistoflex offers customized solutions for special requirements — whether you need a higher load capacity, a specific hardness, unique dimensions, or a rubber compound resistant to oil, chemicals, or extreme temperatures.
