What Are Rubber & Plastic Feet?
Rubber and plastic feet, also referred to as bumper pads, isolation feet, or protective feet, are small but critical components used in industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. They are designed to:
- Absorb vibration and shock to reduce noise and protect sensitive equipment
- Prevent scratches, dents, and surface damage on floors, countertops, or furniture
- Provide stability to appliances, machinery, or furniture on uneven surfaces
- Enhance safety by minimizing movement and slipping
At TCH, our rubber and plastic feet are engineered for longevity, durability, and reliability, meeting U.S. industrial standards for strength, chemical resistance, and temperature performance.

How to Select the Right Rubber or Plastic Foot
Choosing the right foot is critical for performance. Consider the following:
- Load Capacity – Determine static and dynamic weight requirements.
- Hardness (Durometer) – Soft feet for vibration absorption, hard feet for heavy loads.
- Mounting Method – Adhesive, screw, press-fit, or molded-in.
- Environmental Conditions – UV exposure, chemical contact, temperature range.
- Footprint & Shape – Round, domed, low-profile, or stacking depending on space.
TCH provides datasheets, CAD files, and technical guides to simplify selection.
