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.
Materials for Vibration Dampening Gaskets
Applications for Vibration Dampening Gaskets
Anti-vibration pads for equipment
Flat elastic bearings for HVAC equipment and subsystems (fans, chillers, pumps)
Decoupling of vents, pipes and walls
Isolating foundations for pumps, presses, generators or highly sensitive equipment
Noise, vibration, harshness pads for automotive interior applications
Protecting internal components in phones, tablets and computers
Designing your Vibration Dampening Gasket
Gasket Function
Do you need the gasket to do more than dampen vibration such as seal out moisture and particulates?
Gasket Size
Are there limitations on gasket format (die cut vs. stripping)?
Gap Spacing
What is the thickness range of the gap?
Temperature
What high and low temperatures will the material reach and for how long?
Chemical Resistance
Will the material be in contact with chemicals or fluids?
Outgassing
Could material outgassing be detrimental to components?
UV/Ozone resistance
Will the gasket be exposed to the external elements such as sun, wind, rain or snow?
Adhesive
Does the gasket require an adhesive so that it can easily be stuck in place?Featured Product: PORON 4701-30 polyurethane
PORON 4701-30, a very soft polyurethane foam, is ideal in applications where flexibility is a key requirement. This material maintains its integrity and effectiveness in gap filling, gasketing and vibration isolation applications.
