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.
