General Information

Bilz insulation pads have been used successfully for many years in a variety of industries as an economical solution in the fight against problems caused by vibration and structure-borne noise. Made from a precisely defined combination of nitrile rubber and cork particles embedded in a composite of cotton fibres, the physical and mechanical properties of this high-quality composite material meet all of the current requirements for various industrial applications depending on type of pad. Very good damping properties ensure optimum deflection and level consistency both under static and under dynamic loading. The material composition used ensures secure anti-slip protection on conventional industrial floors. It has high resistance properties particularly to modern cooling lubricants
Avoiding vibration and structure-borne noise problems has always been in our focus during the development of Bilz insulating pads. As, depending on the type of machine, the requirements can be very different because of the dynamic particularities, there are numerous different types of pads available for almost any vibration problem. Especially noteworthy are the excellent compression set values of our insulation pads. This property is particularly important in vibration-isolated mounting of modern machines because the geometric accuracy must remain unchanged and stable for years.

Structure-borne noise
Effective noise insulation
Aging resistant
Virtually unlimited service life with adherence to load values. No permanent changes in shape.
Chemical resistance
Exceptionally good resistance to oils, grease, acids and cooling emulsions used in industry.
Temperature resistance
-20 °C to +120 °C
Damping properties
Very high degree of damping of up to 30 %


four Possible Options For The Use Of Insulation Pads For Machine Installation


Free-standing machine foundations using Bilz insulation pads with low demands on alignment. The uneven floor is compensated for with pads, etc. The arrangement of the pads is usually a pattern of points, not over the full surface. Number and size of the required insulation pads is given by the weight of the machine and the existing support surface.


Stable connection to the machine bed using bolt-on installation fittings that remain in place when the machine is lifted. Specifically for machines with high dynamic forces (injection moulding machines, stamping equipment, etc.).


Bolt-through ground anchoring using insulation pads and insulation washers. The use of insulation washers prevents vibrations being transmitted through the bolt.


Highly effective shock and vibration insulation by Bilz insulation pad sets. Different Bilz pads are combined into pad sets offering significantly improved insulation.
