Vibration-Damping U-Bolt

A vibration-damping U-bolt has a lining on the inside of the U to reduce noise and movement. It holds pipes or tubes while cushioning them against shock.

A vibration-damping U-bolt secures components while absorbing operational vibrations. It is used in applications where movement or noise reduction is required.

The lining is often made in cork and neoprene. The U-bolt itself is usually made in steel or stainless steel, and the lining material affects how much vibration it absorbs.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance for the lining material and the metal parts. On receipt, check that the lining is bonded evenly and that the threads are clean.
