OVERVIEW of ProDrive ® Hammer Cushion Pads |
ProDrive ® Hammer Cushion Pads for Pile Driving
Cushion pads are used to improve the pile-driving process, a common activity in the construction
of large structures such as bridges and buildings. Piles—heavy beams of concrete, steel, or other
material—are pounded into the ground by a large "hammer" attached to a crane. The cushion
pad, which sits inside a "helmet" placed between the hammer and the pile, must transmit force
while protecting the pile.
Cushion Pads have proven themselves in all types of pile driving applications. Professional
Plastics has the ability to cut pads to your specifications on our CNC Router. Hammer cushion
pads have to be strong to withstand the pounding and to transmit the driving force needed while
protecting your equipment and the pile. Hammer cushion pads extend the life of your hammer
while transmitting the maximum striking force to the pile.
Made of high impact Phenolic Material, or Impact Resistant Cast Nylon, these cushion pads will
absorb the initial hammer shock while transferring the power that you need to the helmet and into
the pile. By absorbing this initial hammer shock, these cushion pads reduce the tremendous wear
and stress hammers are subjected to, thereby, minimizing breakdowns and nonproductive
down times. Damage to the contact point of the pile is also lessened often making it unnecessary
to trim the pile which can be a time consuming and costly procedure.
ProDrive ® Canvas Phenolic Cushion Pads provide tremendous impact resistance and
stability while absorbing shock. Canvas phenolic is made from a medium weave cotton cloth
fabric and mixed with phenolic resins to provide good wear resistance, low moisture absorption,
and good mechanical strength at economical cost.
ProDrive Nylon-Based Products -
These materials are chemically formulated copolymers designed to offer an engineering material
with the High Tensile and Compressive properties of Cast Nylon, with the impact and wear
resistance of polyurethane. The unfilled, or "natural" grade of material, is yellow in color and
displays exceedingly high impact resistance and tensile properties. Use considerations include
environments with: Shock, Abrasion, Vibration, Impact & Moisture absorption.
ProDrive ® GP: Color: Yellow -
The unfilled, or "natural" grade of material, is yellow in color and displays exceedingly high impact
resistance and tensile properties. Use considerations include environments with: Shock,
Abrasion, Vibration, Impact & Moisture absorption.
ProDrive ® Oil: Color: Olive Green -
Using the same proprietary process as our Protech Oil, our liquid lubrication impregnated within
the polymer chain offers excellent surface lubricity. In addition to the advantages of Protech GP,
use considerations for Protech Oil includes the following environments: Increased Wear, Moisture
Absorption, Increased Abrasion.
ProDrive ® SL: Color: Light Grey -
The impact resistance of the Protech copolymer with the wear resistance of Protech SL (solid
lubricant) result in the longest lasting material for the most aggressive industrial applications. Use
considerations include: Extreme Wear, Extreme Abrasion
