All above specifications are meant to be used for basic comparison and information purposes only. Please verify with the above manufacturers directly.
In order to have been selected for this list the above mentioned products would be considered to be of the highest quality. When engineers specify vibration control or thermal break products or brands they generally add the “or approved equivalent” option. Typically lead time and pricing become determining factors once the engineer on record has verified the selected product meets the design criteria.
Vibration Control Canada VIBSORB ROF-PAD Bearing Pads
VIBSORB ROF-PAD bearing pads were originally designed for use as tie plate pads for the railroad industry. These random oriented fiber (ROF) pads provide compensation for surface irregularities and non-parallel load bearing surfaces in precast concrete and building and construction applications. The reinforced elastomeric bearing pads can also be provided with a Teflon® surface for use in expansion bearings and pipe slides. VIBSORB ROF-PAD pad is scientifically constructed to give years of service under severe operating conditions.
VIBSORB ROF-PAD bearing pads are made from a blend of recycled rubber compounds and synthetic fiber reinforcement.
VIBSORB ROF-PAD pad is impervious to most oils and is resistant to the effects of steam, water, mildew and brine.
The durometer of the VIBSORB ROF-PAD pad is 80±10 (Shore A).
