Neoprene pads

N – SN – NSN Series – Neoprene Pads

Name: N – SN – NSN Series – Neoprene Pads
Brand: Deflection

Family of neoprene pads offering several configuration options depending on load and application.

Deflection neoprene pads are designed to reduce vibration and noise effectively. They come in three constructions: neoprene (N), steel and neoprene (SN), and neoprene, steel and neoprene (NSN).

These pads suit many applications:

HVAC: vibration reduction for air-conditioning units, fans and chillers.
Industrial equipment: support for pumps, motors, generators and compressors.
Acoustics: reduction of structure-borne noise.
Machine tools: vibration isolation for shop and manufacturing equipment.
Residential and commercial equipment: protection of mechanical and electrical installations against excessive vibration.

Frequently asked questions

What do N, SN and NSN mean?

They are three constructions in the same family of neoprene pads: N (neoprene only), SN (steel-neoprene) and NSN (neoprene-steel-neoprene), with different capacities and damping.

How do I choose between N, SN and NSN?

By the load per surface area and the level of damping required: N for light loads, SN and NSN for increasing loads. The PDF technical sheet details each construction.

What applications is this family used for?

Under floor-mounted mechanical equipment: pumps, compressors, fans and shop machines.

Do these pads need maintenance?

No, neoprene is durable and maintenance-free under normal indoor conditions.
