SORBOTHANE® SHOCK AND VIBRATION DAMPING
CUSTOM MOLDED TO YOUR DESIGN

Sorbothane, Inc. will be displaying standard and custom molded products for applications that require shock absorption, vibration isolation and acoustic damping. Sorbothane® engineers have designed custom mounts that reduce the shock of portable medical equipment from 6Gs to 0.4Gs. One of this years featured products is a Sorbothane® gasket isolator that was engineered to protect the LCD screen on a portable infusion pump from drop damage. The Sorbothane® gasket also works as a seal to prevent fluid infiltration to the pump’s command and control module. (more…)

When leading NASA scientists needed a superior damper to protect space shuttle cameras during the launch of the DISCOVERY, they turned to Sorbothane®.

Sorbothane, Inc. engineers supplied the NASA design team with a unique Sorbothane® isolator designed to protect shuttle cameras from the violent forces thrust upon them during launch. The Sorbothane® component shock absorber attenuated vibration damage to the highly sensitive shuttle cameras. These cameras were strategically placed to provide NASA with vital information used to verify the integrity of the shuttle’s heat tiles. (more…)

THE SORBOALIGN® PROVIDES MAXIMUM SHOCK-ABSORPTION + ORTHOTIC ARCH SUPPORT + TORSION CONTROL

Penguin Shoe Care Products, in collaboration with the engineers at Sorbothane, Inc., developed the Sorboalign®. Sorboalign® is a superior high-performance insole for runners and walkers seeking the stabilizing, stride-correcting benefits of an orthotic plus Sorbothane® protection against pain and injuries. Sorboalign® helps protect against back and leg pain, runner’s knee and foot injuries such as plantar fasciitis and turf toe. (more…)

WOOD OR METAL SORBOTHANE SOFT-BLOW MALLET PROTECTS ALL SURFACES

Sorbothane, Inc. has engineered a long-lasting, Soft-Blow mallet that actually conforms to surface irregularities, providing maximum surface contact without denting and marring. Designed to replace conventional dead blow hammers and rubber mallets, the Sorbothane® Soft-Blow Mallet can be used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications.

The Sorbothane® Soft-Blow Mallet is used extensively in the automotive assembly and repair industry along with the wood working trades. The mallet can be used on all types of surfaces and assemblies including hard and soft metals, glass, wood, or any repair requiring a dead blow hammer or rubber mallet. The Soft-Blow Mallet’s no-dent and non-marring features also reduce secondary damage and repair time. Also, because impact is absorbed and dissipated within the Sorbothane® material, hand jarring and harmful impact shock, associated with conventional dead blow hammers, is virtually eliminated.

SORBOTHANE® WORK / SPORT INSOLES

Sorbothane, Inc., will exhibit a new line of performance work/sport insoles that are that are ergonomically designed for individuals in the industrial workplace. The insoles absorb shock and relieve pain in the feet, knees and lower back. These versatile, lightweight insoles provide arch support, comfort and Sorbothane® shock protection. Sorbothane® insoles are recommended by doctors, sports medicine specialists and professional trainers. Sorbothane® insoles are your best defense against foot pain, back pain and impact- related injuries. The company will also be exhibiting several additional ergonomic products made from Sorbothane®, a proprietary, visco-elastic material.

Sorbothane, Inc. engineers, in partnership with leading equipment manufacturers, have developed a component for a reusable floating pallet system that attenuates vibration and impact damage to high-value cargo in over-the road trucking and air transportation.

Sorbothane® is an energy absorbing visco-elastic polymer with the ability to isolate vibrations over a wide range of loads. Sorbothane® pads effectively isolate the cargo on shipping pallets from damage-causing impacts. In addition, the Sorbothane® pads can eliminate the need for special air ride trailers and premium freight rates. The shape, size and location of the Sorbothane® pads are a function of the loading configuration and desired attenuation. Sorbothane® can also be custom-molded as an integral shock mount within the product. (more…)

By Charles Forelle, The Wall Street Journal, Jun 2, 2005

Carl Bohne has a half-dozen computers in his St. Louis home, in various stages of disassembly. He’s hard at work putting together a shrunk-down machine the size of a toaster.

Mr. Bohne isn’t trying to soup up computers for added power. He wants to quiet them down. Bothered by a noisy PC a few years ago, he took it apart to figure out what was causing the clamor.

Now, building quiet machines is his chief hobby. His computers are packed with foam insulation, noise-damping filters and custom-sculpted hunks of copper that divert heat from the microcircuitry so the built- in fans won’t have to work so hard. (more…)
