Keep Your Operation Running Smooth

Written By Mr Collazo

When it comes to keeping your screening equipment operating at peak performance, small parts make a big impact. Components like drive belts, rubber springs, and isolators are easy to overlook—until they fail. These rubber shaker parts play a critical role in vibration control, power transfer, and equipment longevity.

At Nor’East Equipment, we know preventive maintenance is key to minimizing downtime and costly repairs. Here’s why paying attention to your rubber shaker components matters.

Why Rubber Shaker Components Matter

Each rubber element in your shaker system has a specific job that directly affects performance:

  • Drive Belts: Transfer power from the motor to the shaker mechanism. Cracked, stretched, or glazed belts reduce efficiency and create inconsistent motion.

  • Rubber Springs: Absorb vibration and maintain proper stroke motion. Worn springs can cause uneven screening and excess vibration.

  • Rubber Isolators: Protect the machine frame and surrounding structure from damaging vibration. When isolators deteriorate, it can lead to metal fatigue or cracking.

Together, these parts maintain the shaker’s balance and protect critical components. When one starts to fail, the rest are often not far behind.

The Cost of Ignoring Wear

Operating with worn rubber components doesn’t just reduce performance—it can create a chain reaction of damage across your machine.
Some common issues include:

  • Excessive vibration and noise

  • Poor screening efficiency

  • Premature wear on bearings and drive assemblies

  • Frame fatigue or cracking

Replacing a few rubber parts on schedule is far less costly than rebuilding a damaged shaker assembly or frame.

Signs It’s Time to Replace

Regular inspections are the best way to prevent failure. Keep an eye out for:

  • Cracked, split, or swollen rubber parts

  • Flattened or compressed rubber springs

  • Loose or misaligned drive belts

  • Increased noise or vibration during operation

If you’re unsure whether a component needs replacement, it’s best to have it checked by a professional before a small issue becomes a major repair.
