Custom Rubber Shear Mounts

Engineered for Lateral & Torsional Vibration Isolation

We manufacture rubber shear mounts engineered for equipment with horizontal or torsional vibration loads — compressors, generator sets, and machinery with off-balance rotating mass. Each mount is custom-developed around your equipment’s load direction and frequency profile, with compound and bond design tuned specifically for shear performance.

What We Deliver:

• Independent stiffness tuning through optimized shear-plane geometry to balance horizontal and vertical load requirements
• Custom rubber compound selection to achieve a low dynamic-to-static stiffness ratio for better low-frequency vibration isolation and long-term durability
• Bonded rubber-to-metal construction designed for continuous cyclic loading and reliable service performance
• Environment-specific rubber formulations available for resistance to oil, temperature extremes, ozone, and other operating conditions
• Bond integrity verification through in-house testing to ensure reliable rubber-to-metal bonding before shipment
• Prototype-to-production support from initial design validation to repeat production runs

When Shear Mounts Are the Right Choice:

Shear mounts are ideal when vibration loads are mainly horizontal, lateral, or torsional, such as:

• Rotating equipment with unbalanced forces
• Engines and motors with lateral vibration
• Reciprocating compressors and machinery with cyclic movement

When Another Mounting Structure May Be Better:

Not every vibration problem requires a shear mount.

• For short-duration shock or impact loads: consider Rubber Shock Mounts, which are designed to absorb sudden energy events.
• For heavy static compression loads requiring progressive stiffness: consider Conical Rubber Mounts, which provide increasing resistance as load increases.

Typical Applications:

• Industrial compressors and rotary pump assemblies
• Generator sets with lateral vibration transmission
• Machinery bases with torsional or off-balance rotating loads
• HVAC and blower equipment requiring horizontal isolation

Why Work With Us:

We don’t sell shear mounts off a standard size chart. Every project starts with your equipment’s actual load path and vibration frequency, and we develop compound and bond geometry around that data — not the closest catalog match.
