Vibsorb Vibration Absorption Bearing pads are a layered rubber and cotton duck fabric bearing that can be used in a wide variety of structural bearing applications. They go by many names such as Fabric Bearings, Preformed Fabric Bearings, Cotton Duck Pads and Cotton Duck Bearings. They can have a sliding surface of PTFE and stainless steel for a Sliding Expansion Bearing or can be plain without sliding surfaces. These bearings are well suited when very little relative rotation can be expected (equal to or less than 0.003 radians) and where they will sustain no more than 2500 psi of compressive stress.
Except for Sliding Expansion Bearings (where movement is accommodated by the sliding PTFE/Stainless surface), they are not well suited if the movement is expected to be accommodated by shear of the fabric pad.
Vibsorb Vibration Absorption Pad with PTFE
Vibsorb Vibration MIL C Spec:
The bearing pads shall be manufactured of all new (unused) materials and composed of multiple layers of prestressed 50/50 cotton-polyester blend duck, 8.1 ounce per net square yard, duck warp count 50 ± 1 threads per inch and filling count 40 ± 2 threads per inch, impregnated and bound with a high quality, oil-impervious nitrile rubber compound, containing rot and mildew inhibitors and anti-oxidants, compounded into resilient pads of uniform thickness. The pads shall withstand compressive loads perpendicular to the plane of laminations of not less than 10,000 psi before breakdown.
