Vibration Isolator/Flexible Mounting Component

🧩 What It's Called Depending on its exact application, it could be referred to as: Rubber Flange Coupling Flexible Mounting Bracket Vibration Isolator Rubber Shaft Mount 🔍 Description & Function Material: Made of rubber, which suggests it's used for damping vibrations, absorbing shocks, or allowing slight movement between connected parts. Central Hole: Likely for a shaft, pipe, or bearing. The recessed feature may help seat a bearing or seal securely. Bolt Holes: The two smaller holes on each side are for bolts or screws to fasten the part to a surface or another component. Paired Design: The image shows two identical parts facing each other, possibly forming a sandwich mount or coupling system that holds a rotating or vibrating element between them. ⚙️ Typical Uses Motor Mounts: To reduce vibration transmission from motors to frames. Pump or Fan Assemblies: Where rotating shafts need flexible support. HVAC Systems: To isolate noise and vibration. Automotive or Industrial Machinery: As part of a flexible coupling or mounting system. Rubber components like this are essential in systems where rigid connections would cause noise, wear, or misalignment.
