Rubber mount 123/02971 JCB, aftermarket

Rubber mount 123/02971 is an aftermarket part for the JCB machines.

The rubber mount fixes a part flexibly to the frame or its bracket and reduces the vibration passed on. A hardened, cracked or separated mount lets the part rattle, cracks the brackets and adds noise. Heat, oil and fuel speed up ageing of the rubber. Mount size and threads are set by the application, so it is chosen by part number. The mount is made by bonding the rubber body to its metal fixings. As the rubber hardens, damping falls and vibration reaches the connected parts. Mounts are usually checked together with the other mounts they work with. The mount is supplied new. The part number defines its size, stiffness and threads, and a different mount will not damp vibration correctly. The mount is made of rubber. The metal parts of the mount are coated against corrosion.
