Controlling vibration – or anti-vibration control – is very important for many reasons including damage to the human body and damage to structural or mechanical systems. Some of the most common anti vibration control application include pads, gloves, specially designed feet for machinery, mounts and tables. Of course these are just a sampling of the […]

Sorbothane produces viscoelastic polymer anti-vibration pads that are a versatile and affordable way to isolate shock and vibration as well as reduce noise levels. Our anti-vibration pads as well as our sheet stock and other standard products are made with Sorbothane®, a highly-damped, viscoelastic, polymeric solid that “flows” like a liquid under load. Sorbothane is […]

Vibration suppression is the practice of using damping, isolation or a cancellation solution to reduce or eliminate vibrations that would otherwise result in loss of performance or limit the useful life of a system. Tackling the most challenging problems related to vibration suppression is what Sorbothane® was invented for. Its unique, liquid solid (viscoelastic) properties […]

Vibration pads are used in many applications for isolating noise, prolonging machine life, reducing maintenance costs, and reducing excessive wear and tear. Vibration pads can reduce damage to everything from equipment to structures and even the human body. Learn more about vibration pads.

Vibration damping material is used to reduce or eliminate noise in industrial, electronic, structural and ergonomic applications caused by resonance and vibration. Sorbothane is a great solution for most any application and our viscoelastic polymer has been used in everything from small gadgets, protective footwear, the U.S. Airforce Memorial, the Space Shuttle and beyond. What […]

Why Sorbothane is a Great Solution for Shock Absorption Sorbothane® is a one-of-a-kind viscoelastic polymer that was first introduced in 1982. Since its introduction, Sorbothane has been used in many varied energy absorbing product categories. It can be used in many different applications from The Liberty Bell to the Air Force Memorial to Race Cars […]

Shock absorbing pads take many shapes and forms and have uses in a wide range of applications and industries. Sorbothane has provided shock absorption pad solutions for many applications in industries ranging from sports and leisure to industrial solutions. The shock absorbing pads that Sorbothane can produce in any shape, color or style provide high […]

Sorbothane is the best solution when you need a shock absorbing material. Shock absorbing materials may also be called shock absorbing polymers, viscoelastic polymers, visco polymers or simply polymers. There are many other shock absorbent materials available like rubber, neoprene, silicone, etc. but for our purposes here we’ll discuss polymer and Sorbothane specifically. Whether the […]

A good vibration isolation solution lowers the natural frequency of a system to below the excitation (or disturbing) frequency. Keeping these two frequencies “out of sync” eliminates resonance and greatly reduces the problems of vibration. The physical properties of Sorbothane® are unique, and have become the industry standard in the pursuit to isolate external vibrations […]

Sorbothane is a great solution for vibration damping Vibration damping is a term that’s used in industrial, electronic and ergonomic applications when there is a need to reduce the amount of energy that’s produced by the system. Normally engineers try to address and reduce this energy at its source so the disturbing force is not […]
