What shore hardness for vibration dampening pads?
L
Hi all, I’m designing vibration-dampening pads for a small industrial machine. The pads need to isolate vibrations effectively without being too stiff, and the machine runs with moderate weight and speed. I’m looking at polyurethane and silicone as material options, but I’m unsure about the ideal Shore hardness for this application. What hardness range would you recommend for balancing flexibility and load-bearing capacity?
