Pad Type Mountings

Convenient, Economical Mountings Eliminate Bolting or Lagging to Floor

City Soundproofing offers a most complete line of pad type mountings which provide excellent high frequency sound attenuation and can be used effectively to prevent shock and vibration transmission in non-critical installations.

For vibration isolation they are primarily limited to medium and high speed equipment and are generally economical only with light and medium weight equipment. Heavier capacity pad mountings approach the cost of more efficient steel spring isolators.

City Soundproofing Maxi-Flex 'E-Z Cut' Neoprene Pads

Convenient, Cut-What-you-Need Pad Mounts


Our new City Soundproofing Maxi-Flex Neoprene Pads are molded in standard size sheets - 18" x 18" x 3/4" thick (457 x 457 x 19 mm) consisting of 2" (51 mm) square segments.

These segments are separated by a thin web that can easily be cut to fit required loading and shape of equipment base. They provide excellent high frequency sound attenuation and can be used effectively to prevent shock and vibration transmission in non-critical installations.

City Soundproofing Maxi-Flex Pads are available in four color coded loading types (Black is Standard), which will satisfy a wide range of load/defection requirements.

For increased deflection, City Soundproofing Maxi-Flex Pads can be stacked with 16 guage (1.6 mm) shims separating the layers.

City Soundproofing Shear-Flex Neoprene Pads

City Soundproofing Shear-Flex is a resilient cross-ribbed pad molded in high quality oil-resistent neoprene elastomer. It is available in three durometers for standard, light and heavy duty applications. City Soundproofing Shear-Flex is molded 3/8" thick in standard size sheets 18" x 36" and 18" x 18".

City Soundproofing Shear-Flex Features

Alternately Raised Ribs

Exclusive feature provides effective vibration isloation over entire load range of 20 to 100 psi. Only the alternate ribs are engaged under light loads.

No Bolting

The exceptional gripping qualities of Shear-fFlex eliminate the need for bolting or cementing in most installations. Adhesive is available for applications having severe horizontal thrust.

Easy to Use

Simply cut City Soundproofing Shear-Flex pad lsightly larger than leg or bearing plate of machine using shears or knife. If load on square inch of pad area exceeds recommended load use City Soundproofing Flex Plates.

Multiple Layers

City Soundproofing Shear-Flex may be used in multiple layers to increase deflection. Available pre-assembled cut to specified size and with steel plates cemented between layers.

City Soundproofing Shear-Flex Plates

Especially designed for use under concentrated loads where loading exceeds available bearing area of City Soundproofing Shear-Flex Pads and where machine base is provided with jack screws.

Shear-Flx Plates

No Bolting Required

Type A consists of a steel bearing plate bonded between a floor-gripping Shear-Flex pad and a non-skid, machine-griping layer of oil-resistant corrugated neoprene.

Shear-Flx Plates

If Bolting is Preferred

Type B is furnished with an islation washer and a 3/4" free hole in the center of the plate. Other hole size and location furnished upon request.

Shear-Flx Plates

For Machines with Jack Screws

Type C makes use of machines own leveling arrangement. Has an extra-thick steel plate and a counter-bored hole in the center of the plate to prevent shifting of the machine leveling bolt.
