Rubber shock pads

In the world of industrial engineering, ensuring reliable sealing and effective vibration control is vital to maintaining machine performance and longevity. Rubber products have emerged as indispensable materials in these critical applications. At DXTSEALS, we specialize in the custom production of rubber components that serve key roles in mechanical sealing and shock absorption.


🔧 The Unique Properties of Rubber

Rubber materials possess a rare combination of physical characteristics that make them ideal for dynamic and static mechanical systems. These include:

  • Elasticity and flexibility for tight sealing

  • High tensile strength and tear resistance

  • Excellent vibration damping properties

  • Thermal and chemical resistance

  • Weather and aging durability


🛠 Rubber in Mechanical Sealing: Precision and Reliability

✅ Perfect Surface Conformity

Rubber’s ability to deform and recover allows it to conform perfectly to mating surfaces, ensuring leak-proof seals—even in systems under pressure or vibration.

✅ Chemical and Temperature Resistance

Rubber seals and gaskets made from materials like FKM, EPDM, NBR, or silicone offer strong resistance to oils, fuels, acids, and high temperatures, extending their performance in extreme environments.

✅ Applications in Sealing

  • Pump and valve seals

  • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems

  • Oil seals and O-rings

  • Custom gasket solutions


🔩 Rubber in Shock Absorption: Smoother Operation, Longer Life

Rubber is a natural shock absorber, making it a go-to material for reducing the impact of mechanical stress, vibration, and movement. Its energy dissipation properties help protect equipment and improve operational stability.

✅ Vibration Isolation

Rubber mounts and bushings reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in industrial machinery and vehicles.

✅ Impact Resistance

Rubber bumpers and pads absorb sudden mechanical impacts, preventing damage to sensitive components.

✅ Typical Rubber Shock Absorbing Parts

  • Engine mounts

  • Anti-vibration pads

  • Suspension bushings

  • Industrial shock absorbers
