Bushings
Sorbothane bushings can isolate vibration and absorb shock.
Using two bushings together or a bushing and washer(s), you can create a floating bolt that isolates the unit from any metal-to-metal contact.
Different durometers allow for different spring rates. Load ratings assume a 10%-20% deflection of the material. This deflection is achieved by a combination of system weight and torquing of the connecting bolts.
Do not over torque the bolts as this defeats the intended vibration isolation and shortens bushing life. Use a high-quality (thread deforming) lock nut or doubled jam nuts to prevent vibration from loosening bolt.
Unlike other Sorbothane products, bushings may be used in tension connections.
To order: Specify part number, durometer, quantity, color. (Color black is standard) Other colors and dimensional variations are available by special order.
