Load vs. deflection curves show how rubber deforms as force increases. They help engineers evaluate stiffness, compressibility, and energy absorption for applications such as vibration mounts, seals, gaskets, and impact pads.

Load vs. deflection curves are graphical representations of how a rubber material deforms when it’s subjected to increasing force.

Choosing the right durometer, or rubber hardness, is essential for product performance. Rubber that’s too soft may deform under load, while rubber that’s too hard may not seal or conform properly. This article explains durometer and how to select the right hardness for reliable real-world performance.

Rubber products need the right durometer to perform reliably under real-world conditions. Learn how to make the right choice.
