Bushings

Sorbothane® Bushings are designed to 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. Bushings may be used in tension connections.
