A Memorial’s Moving Parts
Engineers have devised a series of colossal “ball-in-box dampers” designed to dissipate wind energy in the new Air Force memorial, which was
dedicated October 14, 2006.

Each steel box is double-walled, and the two-inch space between those walls is filled with Sorbothane, an elastic energy-absorbing polymer commonly found in the insoles of shoes. The balls are lead, with an outer coating of stainless steel. When wind sets the mid- and upper reaches of the spires swaying, the balls roll about, banging into the walls of their padded cells.

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

Sorbothane® is an energy absorbing proprietary material that has been used to protect critical cargo in a variety of applications. Sorbothane® pads effectively isolate the cargo on shipping pallets from damage-causing impacts. In addition, Sorbothane® pads can eliminate the need for special air ride trailers and premium freight rates. Sorbothane develops custom and standard isolators for pallet manufacturers to create energy attenuating pallet systems for shipping critical loads and high-value equipment. Sorbothane engineers assist pallet manufacturers in determining the shape, size and location of the Sorbothane® pads and loading configuration to achieve the desired shock absorption. Sorbothane® can also be custom-molded as an integral shock mount within the product.

Sorbothane® is widely recognized for its superior damping and isolation properties. Sorbothane® maintains stability and flexibility over a broad temperature range, enabling the pads to isolate damaging vibrations and impact shock in all climate conditions. Its faultless memory ensures return to original shape even after repeated compressions, making it ideal for a variety of engineering design applications requiring shock absorption and vibration isolation.

Sorbothane® was used in the relocation of the Liberty Bell as specified by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Space Shuttle Discovery’s cameras were mounted on Sorbothane® to protect them from the violent forces during launch. Sorbothane® components are used extensively in manufacturing products for, national defense, medical devices, electronics, computers and sport. Sorbothane® insoles are recognized by doctors, sports medicine specialists and professional trainers as the best defense against impact-related injuries. Sorbothane creates parts that absorb shock and isolate vibration. No other material dissipates energy as effectively.

Sorbothane, Inc. engineers, in partnership with KICK EEZ®, have developed a new complete line of 14 pre-fit Sorbothane® recoil pads. These superior recoil absorbing pads have been designed to easily install on a wide variety of rifles and shotguns.

Numerous engineering and design updates were also made to the KICK EEZ® Sorbothane® grind-to-fit line of recoil pads. For over 20 years KICK EEZ® Sorbothane® Recoil Pads have been the most popular performing pad on the market.

Sorbothane®, a one-of-a-kind visco elastic material, is accepted by engineers worldwide for its shock reducing properties and scientifically proven to be the finest cushioning material available. In many applications and laboratory tests Sorbothane® has achieved shock absorption levels of up to 94.7%. KICK EEZ® recoil pads reduce more recoil and do it better than any other pad. Less recoil reduces flinching, eases sore shoulders and cheeks. Unprecedented absorption levels are possible because Sorbothane® attenuates felt recoil by dispersing energy outward from the impact source. Although it has 100% memory, its delayed recovery properties minimize rebound kick. By virtually eliminating the rebound effect of the first shot, second shots are quicker and more accurate. Sorbothane® will not distort or lose its effectiveness after being compressed thousands of times and will not “bottom out” and “rebound” as do most common rubber materials on the market today. Sorbothane® also will remain effective in all weather conditions.

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.

Sorbothane®, a proprietary visco elastic material, is custom molded and specified by engineers worldwide for its superior damping and isolation properties and scientifically proven to be the finest cushioning material available. In many applications and laboratory tests Sorbothane® has achieved shock absorption levels of up to 94.7%. Unprecedented absorption levels are possible because Sorbothane® maintains stability and damping over a broad temperature range, enabling it to isolate damaging vibrations and impact shock in varied conditions. Its near faultless memory ensures a return to original shape, even after repeated compressions, making Sorbothane® ideal for a variety of engineering design applications requiring shock absorption, vibration isolation and acoustical damping.

Sorbothane® is the only insole material that absorbs up to 94.7% of impact shock. Unlike standard insole materials, which can bottom out and lose effectiveness, Sorbothane® never waivers under any conditions. Durable and comfortable, Sorbothane® performance insoles retain their orthotic benefits and shockabsorbing properties month after month. Lightweight and antifungal, they also breathe, which makes for a much cooler insole.

Sorbothane® insoles have been highly recommended by doctors, sports medicine specialists and professional trainers for decades. Sorbothane® insoles have proven to be the best defense against foot pain, back pain and impact-related injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, runner’s knee and shin splints.

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.

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®, a proprietary material, is widely recognized for its superior damping and isolation properties. Sorbothane® components are used extensively in manufacturing, national defense, medical device, automotive and electronic industries. Sorbothane® comfort insoles are recognized by doctors, sports medicine specialists and professional trainers as the best defense against impact-related injuries. Sorbothane® maintains stability and flexibility over a broad temperature range, isolating damaging vibration and impact shock in all climate conditions. Sorbothane® is a visco-elastic material; a solid that flows like a liquid. It is easily cast into custom shapes and can also be die cut and water jet cut.
