Industrial Rubber Pads with Metal Backing

Industrial Rubber Pads with Metal Backing

Rubber pads with steel, aluminum or stainless steel backplates are available in multiple durometers and materials for a wide variety of work holding, clamping, and part handling applications. Pads prevent part slip and protect parts and tooling with friction 50% to 400% higher than typical metal to part contact. Conforming to the part increases overall grip strength even more.
