Why rubber is the preferred material for industrial shock absorption? The answer is its unique molecular structure. High-density rubber blocks have two main characteristics that traditional metal springs do not have: good elasticity and high damping capacity.
Elastic deformation: Under impact forces from machinery, the rubber pad can quickly convert concentrated high pressure into distributed elastic potential energy through its own shape deformation, thus slowing down the transmission of shock waves.
Damping Effect： Rubber is a polymer. When the molecular chains move frictionally under pressure, the high-frequency mechanical vibration energy is converted into thermal energy and dissipated. This mechanism effectively blocks solid-borne noise and suppresses resonance, protecting the precision of sensitive machining equipment.
