Why Rubber Feet Matter: Surface Protection, Stability & More

Rubber feet may be small, but they play a big role in protecting products, improving user experience, and extending equipment life. Whether installed under furniture, electronics, industrial machines, or home appliances, rubber feet provide essential functions: grip, stability, noise control, and surface protection.

At Luen Fung, we specialise in manufacturing custom rubber feet, especially those made from high-grade silicone rubber, tailored to a wide range of industries and applications.

What Are Rubber Feet?

Rubber feet (also called rubber pads, bumpers, or stoppers) are protective components designed to be attached to the base of products or devices. They serve several key purposes:

• Prevent movement or slipping
• Minimise vibration and operational noise
• Protect surfaces from scratches and dents
• Enhance product durability and safety

They are commonly made from materials such as Silicone, Natural Rubber (NR), Nitrile Rubber (NBR), EPDM, Neoprene (CR), or FKM, depending on the environment and performance needs.

Why Choose Silicone Rubber Feet?

Silicone is one of the most versatile materials used for rubber feet, and here’s why:

• Excellent Heat Resistance: Withstands up to 200°C
• Weather & UV Resistance: Ideal for outdoor and long-term use
• Soft Yet Durable: Won’t crack or deform under pressure
• Safe for Sensitive Equipment: Non-marking, RoHS and REACH compliant
• Customisable: Wide range of colours, hardness levels, and shapes

Whether for consumer electronics, medical devices, or industrial machinery, silicone rubber feet offer superior performance compared to many standard materials.

Common Applications

Rubber feet are widely used in:

• Electronics: Speakers, amplifiers, laptops, routers, printers
• Furniture & Homeware: Chairs, cabinets, tables, shelving
• Appliances: Coffee machines, blenders, kitchen devices
• Laboratory & Medical Equipment: Microscopes, diagnostic machines
• Industrial: Machine feet, panel supports, anti-vibration mounts
