Conical Rubber Mounts for Progressive Load Control
Flexiparts manufactures custom conical rubber mounts based on your drawing, load requirements, and operating conditions. Unlike standard rubber mounts with fixed stiffness characteristics, conical mounts are designed to provide progressive stiffness — remaining flexible under normal operating loads while increasing resistance as compression increases.
This makes conical rubber mounts suitable for applications where equipment experiences variable loads, occasional overload conditions, or strict deflection limits. Each mount is developed around the required load behavior rather than selected from a standard size range.
Why Choose Conical Rubber Mounts?
Standard cylindrical rubber mounts generally provide a more consistent stiffness response throughout their compression range. While this works well for stable loads, it can become a limitation when equipment load changes during operation.
A conical rubber mount uses its geometry to create a progressive stiffness response. As the cone compresses, the effective load-bearing area changes, allowing the mount to become increasingly resistant to further movement.
This provides：
- Softer vibration isolation under normal operating conditions
- Increased support under higher loads
- Better control of deflection without simply increasing rubber hardness
For equipment with changing or unpredictable loads, this helps achieve a better balance between vibration isolation and load support.
What We Can Custom Options
The performance of a conical rubber mount depends on how its geometry interacts with the application load.
Key custom design factors include:
| Design Requirement | Consideration |
|---|---|
| Load range | Determines required stiffness and support capacity |
| Deflection limit | Influences cone geometry and rubber formulation |
| Installation space | Defines overall mount dimensions |
| Operating environment | Affects rubber compound selection |
Cone angle, rubber hardness, and mount geometry are developed according to the application’s actual requirements instead of using fixed standard profiles.
Applications
Custom conical rubber mounts are commonly used for:
- Heavy machinery vibration isolation
- Industrial equipment mounting systems
- Engine and power equipment supports
- Structural isolation points
- Equipment with changing static loads
FAQ About Conical Rubber Mounts
1. How do you determine the right cone angle for our application?
We use your equipment’s normal operating load and maximum expected load spike to calculate the stiffness progression needed, then set cone angle and compound to match — this is done per project, not selected from a standard range.
2. Can a conical mount replace a mount that’s currently bottoming out under load?
Often yes — if a fixed-rate mount is bottoming out under peak load, a conical design can absorb the same peak without deflecting as far, while still staying compliant at normal load. We’d need your load data to confirm.
3. What information do you need to quote a custom conical mount?
Normal operating load, maximum load spike, allowable deflection range, and mounting space constraints. Existing part samples or drawings also help if you’re replacing an underperforming mount.
