Rubber Grommet Isolators

RPM Mechanical produces rubber grommet isolators that provide effective, economical vibration isolation for light loads. Grommet isolators are made of neoprene and natural rubber. They provide good vibration isolation for disturbing frequencies above 30 Hz.

As an engineering material, rubber grommet isolators offer elasticity and flexibility, toughness which provides wear, cut and abrasion resistance, physical strength, relative impermeability to liquids and gases, and oil and fuel resistance. Features & Benefits of LORD grommet isolators:

  • Economical
  • Offer improved reliability in environments of harsh vibration and shock
  • Space saving
  • Oil resistant
  • Effective vibration isolation and shock protection for light load applications

Each rubber grommet isolator requires different considerations that enhance performance and safety.

  • Hardness of your LORD grommet isolators is determined by measuring the extent to which surface resists indentation by a standard indenter.
  • A compression set is a measure of the degree to which a test specimen under standard loading and time "sets," deforms, or does not rebound to original dimensions. This is important for your grommet isolators in sealing applications, particularly for high pressures over extended periods.
  • Measuring the effect heat has on properties of rubber compound ensures efficient high temperature performance. This is particularly significant for automotive applications where performance at elevated temperature is increasingly important.
  • Lowering temperature results in loss of resilience and flexibility, increased hardness, and brittleness of your grommet isolators. The brittle point is determined not only by the temperature and nature of the rubber, but also by its rate of deformation.

Suitable applications of rubber grommet isolators include:

  • Computers
  • Disk drives
  • Business machines
  • Precision instrumentation
  • General industrial equipment
  • Protection of a wire, tube, or various other objects from abrasion
  • Electrical insulation
  • Sealing
  • Vibration isolation
