Pad mounts are a low cost isolator, effective for machinery and equipment with higher disturbing frequencies such as small airconditioners, business machines, machine tools, etc. Pad mounts are also an effective isolator of impact.

Shearflex, Supershearflex and Corkrib are the standard Embelton pad mounts, offering static deflection up to 3.5mm. Multiple pad layers, assembled with metal plates, can be used to offer higher static deflection. All pad mounts can be bonded to flexplates where load spreading is required, or where the machine base is provided with leveling screws. Corkrib has a flatback option when it must be bonded on one side to a flat surface. Corkrib also offers good damping properties.
