Rubber support strip Martes OTTOBAND HEAVY — Martes M000291966

Martes OTTOBAND HEAVY is a heavy-duty rubber support strip intended for use as a bearing, buffer or vibration-damping element in construction and industrial settings. The profile is manufactured from resilient rubber to provide load-bearing support, edge protection and reduction of transmitted vibration between mounted components. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for installation under machinery, equipment frames, door thresholds or along edges where impact absorption and isolation are required.

Advantages

The rubber composition delivers consistent elasticity and damping characteristics that help reduce noise and structural vibration. The profile is designed for easy trimming and mechanical fastening to a variety of surfaces and resists compression set under moderate static loads. As a physical buffer, it protects edges and contact points from wear and helps maintain alignment between joined parts.

Suitable for

• Supporting machinery bases and small equipment to reduce vibration transmission
• Edge protection on panels, thresholds and steps
• Buffering between structural components and frames
• Mounting pads for lightweight to moderate loads in workshops and industrial environments

When it may not be suitable

This rubber support strip is intended for damping and support under moderate loads; it may not be suitable where precise mechanical leveling or rigid, non‑deforming supports are required. It is not designed as a primary structural element for very heavy or safety‑critical load-bearing applications.

Key specifications

• Material: resilient rubber compound providing elasticity and damping
• Function: vibration damping, load support, edge protection
• Form: linear strip/profile suitable for trimming and fastening
• Typical applications: machinery mounts, edge guards, buffer strips

How to use

Measure and cut the rubber strip to the required length using a sharp utility knife or shears. Prepare mounting surfaces by cleaning and drying to ensure good contact. The profile can be fixed using mechanical fasteners such as screws or bolts through pre-drilled holes in the substrate, or bonded with an appropriate adhesive compatible with rubber and the mounting surface. Position the strip so it bears evenly under the load and verify alignment and compression after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required load capacity and expected compression under static load
• Compatibility of mounting surfaces and preferred attachment method (mechanical vs. adhesive)
• Environmental conditions such as exposure to oils, solvents, ozone or extreme temperatures that may affect rubber longevity

Usage recommendations

For best performance, select a strip cross‑section and mounting method that distribute load evenly and prevent localized over-compression; inspect periodically for wear, hardening or cracking and replace when damping or protective properties diminish.
