PAD fibre and elastomer plates

Heavy-Duty Impact Protection with PAD Vibration-Isolating Pads

When it comes to cushioning heavy loads and isolating vibrations in the toughest industrial environments, ACE’s PAD Vibration-Isolating Pads deliver unmatched performance. Engineered from a powerful blend of elastomeric materials and reinforced with durable fiber inlays, PAD plates are specifically designed to withstand extreme pressure and impact — making them ideal for foundations, heavy-duty machinery, pipelines, cranes, and structural elements like bridges.

Unlike traditional vibration-isolating products, PAD plates are tailored for shock absorption rather than low-frequency oscillation damping. Their construction allows for compressive loads of up to 69 N/mm², depending on the size and form. Thanks to their low creep tendency (only about 5% under continuous static load), these plates retain their shape and performance over long operational cycles, even under substantial loads.

These rugged damping plates are available in a wide range of thicknesses (1.6 mm to 25.4 mm) and can be supplied as plates, discs, or sleeves. Customisation is easy with options for water jet cutting, stamping, sawing, and more, ensuring an exact fit to your specifications. Whether you’re looking to protect a building foundation from heavy machinery vibration or reduce structural noise under cranes, PAD plates provide a versatile and highly durable solution.

Applications:

PAD plates are widely used in:

• Foundations for presses, machinery, and buildings
• Crane rail systems
• Bridges and pipelines
• Pumping stations and power generation equipment
• Impact zones in vibrators and crushing systems
