Rubber Pad 11
Dense lattice, small cells: maximum edge length per unit area, which is what actually produces grip on a wet sole.

The face on this part
Trapezoid pad with a dense diamond lattice. It sits in the Standard Rubber & Plastic Pads group, and the photograph above is of the part itself rather than a rendering — what you see is the tread, the outline and the finish as they leave the tool.
Tooling and first parts
All tooling is designed and made in house. Parts from a prototype tool reach you in 4 weeks, which is the window in which the face, the retention and the hardness can still be changed without restarting anything.
Getting it approved
Where the part goes onto a programme we run PPAP to ISO/TS 16949 or VDA, typically over 8 weeks, on parts from the production tool rather than on prototypes.
What we need to quote it
The drawing or the sample, the annual volume, and the service conditions the part sees. If the part already exists in this catalogue we will tell you that instead of quoting a new tool.

Choosing a Pedal Pad Compound: EPDM, SBR, TPE and When Each One Fails
Service conditions, not price, should pick the compound. Here is how we narrow it down and what we test to prove the choice.
Ribs, Lattices, Studs and Slots: What Each Pedal Tread Is For
Four tread families appear across this catalogue. Each one is a different answer to the same question about grip and wear.
How to Get a Pedal Pad Quoted: Send a Drawing, or Send the Part
What we need to price a part, what we can work out ourselves, and what genuinely cannot be guessed.
Questions buyers ask
What hardness should I specify?
Shore A hardness decides how the part feels and how fast the tread wears. Too hard and the pattern does nothing; too soft and the rib tips go first. Tell us the duty and we will propose a number to put on the drawing.
How long before I see a real Rubber Pad 11 sample?
Our prototype shop exists for exactly this. Parts from a prototype tool take 4 weeks; PPAP to ISO/TS 16949 or VDA, on production parts, is typically 8 weeks after that.
What do you need from us to quote it?
A drawing, or a physical sample we can measure. Our designers work in SolidWorks, Pro-E and UG, so a native or STEP file is enough to start.
How is the material verified?
Through the nine test methods we run in Beijing, and through CTI — Centre Testing International Corporation, Shanghai — where an accredited third-party result is required.
