General Disclaimer

The information provided by RubberDot (“https://www.rubberdot.com”) is for general informational and educational purposes only. All information on the site is provided in good faith; however, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on the site.

Confirm the Real Numbers

Calculator results and guidance on RubberDot are informational only and may be incomplete or out of date. How a part actually performs depends on figures that vary and change: material hardness, bearing pressures, adhesive strengths, coefficients of friction, and flooring limits differ by product, surface, and condition. Before you buy a part, fit it, or trust it with a load, confirm the current ratings and specifications with the part and flooring makers, and read their guidance.

Not Professional Engineering Advice

Content and tools on RubberDot, including the Rubber Foot & Bumper Size Selector, Durometer (Shore A/D) Hardness Guide, Adhesive Bond Strength vs Load Calculator, Grip-Dot Spacing & Coverage Calculator, Furniture-Foot Load-Capacity Calculator, and Anti-Slip Friction & Coefficient Estimator, are for educational and informational purposes only. They do not constitute professional engineering, structural, or safety advice of any kind. The figures our tools produce are general estimates, not guarantees. Mounting, load-bearing, and anti-slip applications carry real risk, including the risk of failure, property damage, or injury.

Tool Accuracy and Limitations

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators provide estimates based on standard engineering conventions, the figures you enter, and widely accepted formulas. Results should be used as starting points and planning aids, not absolute values or guaranteed outcomes.

Factors Affecting Accuracy

Actual results may vary significantly due to:

• Material Ratings: Durometer, bearing pressures, and adhesive strengths differ between products and grades and change over time.
• Surfaces & Conditions: Floor type, cleanliness, temperature, moisture, and contamination all change how a foot, bumper, or pad performs.
• Real-World Loads: Impact, peeling, vibration, and shifting loads behave differently from the simple static loads a calculator assumes.
• Measurement Factors: Self-reported figures, rounding, and estimation.

Our Recommendations

• Use tool results as starting points and planning aids, not absolute values.
• Confirm material ratings, adhesive strengths, and floor limits with the makers before you commit.
• Build in a sensible safety margin for anything load-bearing or safety-related.
• Test a fitting in place before you rely on it, especially for adhesive mounts.

No Warranty

RubberDot expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
