Sizing Information Pads Should Be Sized So There Is No More Than 50 Pounds Per Square Inch Of Machine Weight On It When Installed (Most Machinery Is Designed With Approximately 50 Psi Maximum Base Loading) Installing A Pad Equal To The Size Of The Foot With 1/2?? Overlap All Around Will Generally Insure Proper Loading To Dampen Vibration Example: A Machine Weighing 1800 Pounds Will Require An Anti - Vibration Pad Approximately 6?? X 6?? (1800 ??50 Psi = 36 Square Inches Or One 6 X 6 Pad). A 3 X 3 Pad Under Each Leg Is Required, Provided The Weight Is Distributed Evenly Among The Four Legs For Impact Machines (Punch Presses, Drop Hammers) A Lesser Loading Capacity Is Recommended - Generally 25 Psi A Double Thickness Of A Pad May Be Used To Accomplish Proper Loading If Desired When Hold Down Bolts Are Necessary, The Bolt Should Be Isolated From The Machine Recommended Maximum Loading Capacity: 50 Lbs Per Square Inch

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What materials are the anti-vibration pads made of?A: The anti-vibration pads are made of rubber and cork. This combination provides excellent durability and vibration isolation.
Q: What are the dimensions of each pad?A: Each pad measures four inches by four inches by seven-eighths of an inch. This size is designed for optimal performance under various loads.
Q: What is the maximum loading capacity of the pads?A: The pads can handle a maximum loading capacity of fifty pounds per square inch. This ensures proper support for different machinery weights.
Q: How do I install the anti-vibration pads?A: To install, place the pads under each machine leg with a half-inch overlap. Ensure the machine's weight is evenly distributed for effective vibration dampening.
Q: Are these pads suitable for outdoor use?A: Yes, the pads are designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Their materials are resistant to aging, water, and oil.
Q: Can I use these pads under heavy machinery?A: Yes, the pads are suitable for heavy machinery. However, for impact machines, a lesser loading capacity of twenty-five pounds per square inch is recommended.
Q: How should I clean the anti-vibration pads?A: To clean the pads, wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber and cork materials.
Q: What is the lifespan of these anti-vibration pads?A: The pads are designed to resist aging and compression set, which enhances their lifespan. Proper care can prolong their usability significantly.
Q: Do the pads require any special storage conditions?A: No special storage conditions are required. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity.
Q: How do these pads compare to other vibration isolation solutions?A: These pads offer a unique combination of rubber and cork for effective vibration isolation, making them versatile for various applications compared to purely rubber solutions.
Q: Are these pads effective for home use?A: Yes, these pads are effective for home use, especially under appliances like air compressors and treadmills, providing stability and reducing noise.
Q: What if the pads arrive damaged?A: If the pads arrive damaged, contact customer support immediately for assistance with returns or exchanges. Ensure to keep the original packaging for the return process.
Q: Can I stack the pads for additional support?A: Yes, you can stack the pads to achieve double thickness if needed for greater loading capacity. This is particularly useful for heavier machines.
Q: Are these pads safe for sensitive surfaces?A: Yes, the pads are designed to protect sensitive surfaces from damage while providing stability. They help minimize scratches and wear.
Q: Is there a warranty for these pads?A: Yes, the pads come with a warranty covering manufacturing defects. Be sure to review the warranty details for specific coverage information.
Q: Can I use these pads for audio equipment?A: Yes, the pads are suitable for audio equipment like speakers and amplifiers. They help reduce vibration and improve sound quality.
