Vibration Dampening Gaskets

Custom vibration dampening gaskets absorb shock and reduce unwanted noise.

Custom vibration dampening gaskets attenuate noise, vibration and harshness.

Gasketing materials can do more than provide cushioning and seal gaps. Specialized materials also reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). In vehicles, appliances and heavy equipment, vibration dampening gaskets can help protect sensitive electronics from physical shock. Vibration dampening gaskets are used in applications from smartphones to commercial HVAC systems, extending equipment service life and making devices more comfortable for users.

Features and Benefits of Vibration Dampening Gaskets

Helps isolate vibration efficiently to keep internal components safe from damage.
The proper design can provide long-term durability to withstand the life of the product.
Available in a variety of material types, formulations and thicknesses for a wide range of applications.
Reduces noise in environments where it can become a problem for the user or other personnel.
By reducing vibration, you increase the long-term stability to keep large machines from moving/shifting during operation.
Adhesives can be applied for applications where stick in place gaskets are required or can help ease in installation.
