Cork Washers – Anti-Vibration Industrial Solutions
Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd (ASG) manufactures a wide range of cork washers, including the popular anti-vibration cork type. With our state-of-the-art facilities and skilled workforce, we produce thousands of precision-cut cork gaskets and washers daily.
We work with samples, drawings, or exact dimensions provided by customers, specifying Outer Diameter (OD), Inner Diameter (ID), and Thickness. Cork washers are available in plain, self-adhesive, or foil-faced finishes, either as individual cut parts or kiss-cut rolls, ensuring cost-effective production without compromising quality.
What Are Anti-Vibration Cork Washers?
Cork washers are flat rings inserted between two surfaces to:
- Reduce friction
- Eliminate vibration
- Create a stable and level seating for nuts, bolts, and fasteners.
Anti-vibration cork washers are particularly compressible, making them ideal for low to medium-pressure bolt applications. Bonding cork with synthetic rubbers like EPDM, Neoprene, Nitrile, or SBR improves:
- Flexibility
- Resistance to oils, petrol, acids
- Temperature tolerance
These properties make cork washers perfect for industrial machinery, automotive components, and acoustic applications.

Why Use Anti-Vibration Cork Washers?
Anti-vibration cork washers are used to:
- Absorb sound
- Seal against oil, water, or chemical leaks.
- Protect moving parts from abrasion.
- Reduce vibration in heavy machinery and equipment.
They are commonly employed in:
- Industrial machinery
- Railway equipment
- Automotive applications
- Industrial refrigeration
- Generators
- Acoustic and suspension buildings
Without these washers, vibrations can damage machinery, building foundations, and pose safety risks to personnel.
Benefits of Using Cork Washers
- Noise and vibration reduction for machinery and equipment
- Thermal insulation properties
- Oil, fuel, chemical, and acid resistance (depending on cork grade)
- Durable, abrasion and friction-resistant
- Non-toxic and safe for users with allergies
- Enhances the longevity of bolts, nuts, and machinery parts
Different Grades of Cork Washers
Advanced Seals & Gaskets offers various cork washer grades to meet specific industrial needs:
