RUBASIA RUBBERTECH’s "rubber block" or "mounting block" is a versatile item used for shock absorption, vibration dampening, and support in various applications. In a mechanical context, they are used in industry to isolate components and reduce noise, while in crafting, they provide a stable surface for filing and hammering. A third meaning refers to a physical step used for mounting horses. 

 

Industrial and mechanical uses 

• Vibration and shock absorption: Rubber mounting blocks are used in machinery and vehicles to absorb shocks and dampen vibrations, which extends equipment life and improves stability.
• Noise reduction: They help to significantly lower noise levels by absorbing the impact of moving parts.
• Support and flexibility: In building services, they can provide non-penetrative support for equipment like pipes, offering a flexible mounting solution that can accommodate changes.
• Examples: They can be used as aircraft chocks, for dampening loads in containers, and as flexible supports for booms and clamps. 

 

Crafting and jewelry uses 

• Stable work surface: A rubber block provides a firm, non-skid surface for holding objects in place while filing, hammering, or drilling.
• Protection: It prevents the work piece from being scratched or distorted and can cushion impacts, protecting delicate materials.
• Versatility: Some blocks are designed with two different surfaces—one for filing and one as a base for other tools. 

 

Equestrian use 

• Horseback riding: A mounting block is a sturdy, step-like platform used to help riders mount a horse, reducing the strain on the horse's back and making it easier for the rider to get on.
