Keeping AC units Stable with Rubber Bumpers

Keeping AC Units Stable with Rubber Bumpers

As temperatures rise and summer heat kicks in, air conditioning becomes more than just a luxury—it’s a necessity. But while most people focus on the performance of their AC units, there’s a crucial element often overlooked: stability.

Air conditioners, especially outdoor units, generate significant vibration and noise. Over time, this can cause wear on the system, loosen connections, and even affect nearby structures. That’s where rubber bumpers for AC units come in—and Budwig’s high-performance solution leads the way.

Whether mounted on rooftops, concrete pads, or brackets, AC units need proper shock absorption and vibration control to operate efficiently and quietly. Budwig’s recessed rubber feet are designed to:

✅ Reduce vibration and mechanical noise
✅ Prevent slipping, sliding, or tilting of the unit
✅ Protect surfaces from scratches or damage
✅ Extend the life of your AC unit by reducing wear and tear


Engineered for Tough Environments

Unlike generic alternatives, Budwig’s rubber bumpers are injection-molded using a proprietary thermoplastic Santoprene® blend. This unique formulation includes UV additives, making them ideal for outdoor environments exposed to harsh sun and fluctuating temperatures.

These bumpers are built to handle:

  • Strong AC fan vibrations

  • Heat and cold cycles

  • Long-term outdoor exposure

  • Heavy-duty industrial use
