Mackay Anti-Vibration Mounts, Engine Mounts, Isolators & Radiator Hose
Mackay is a long-established Australian engineering products brand specialising in vibration isolation, anti-vibration mounts, engine mounts, rubber buffers, conflex isolators, multicushion assemblies, and radiator hose for vehicle, mobile plant, and fixed industrial machinery applications.
The Mackay name has been trusted in Australian industry for decades as the reference supplier for rubber-bonded anti-vibration components — a product category that is deceptively critical in industrial and mobile plant performance but often overlooked until it fails.
Vibration isolation is a fundamental requirement in almost every machine-mounted industrial application. Internal combustion engines, compressors, pumps, fans, generators, and conveyors all generate vibration during operation that, if transmitted directly to the supporting structure, causes accelerated fatigue in the structure and connected components, increased operator discomfort and fatigue, loosening of fasteners and connections, and noise amplification through the machine frame and surrounding structure.
Mackay’s anti-vibration mounts and isolators use vulcanised rubber-to-steel bonding technology to interpose a compliant rubber element between the vibration source and the support structure, absorbing and dissipating vibration energy before it can be transmitted as damaging structural vibration or noise.
The selection of the correct isolator for a given application is an engineering calculation based on the machine mass, its operating speed (and therefore forcing frequency), the required vibration attenuation, and the available mounting geometry.
Mackay’s range covers the principal isolator types used in Australian plant applications: multicushion isolators in standard and heavy-duty grades for general machinery mounting; mobile isolators for transport-mounted equipment subject to road shock and off-road vibration; conflex isolators in small, medium, and large load ratings for equipment with higher damping requirements; stud multicushions for direct bolt-through mounting; and buffers and bumpers for end-stop and impact absorption applications.
Their radiator overflow hose provides the flexible coolant routing component for vehicle and plant cooling systems.

Mackay Anti-Vibration Mounts, Isolators & Buffers
Mackay’s vibration isolation range provides the rubber-bonded mounting and isolating components needed to control machine vibration in mobile plant, industrial engines, compressors, and general machinery installations. Order from AIMS Industrial.
- Mackay Multicushion Isolator: Mackay’s standard multicushion isolator for general industrial machinery mounting applications. The multicushion design uses multiple rubber cushion elements bonded between steel plates to provide vibration attenuation in all load directions, including axial, radial, and torsional loading. Suitable for mounting electric motors, pumps, fans, compressors, and generators to fabricated or structural steel frames where vibration transmission to the support structure must be minimised. Load rating and natural frequency must be matched to the machine mass and operating speed for effective isolation. Available in multiple load ratings to suit equipment from small electric motors through to large industrial pumps.
- Mackay Conflex Isolator Small HD 80 x 50 x 38mm: A Conflex (conical flexible) isolator in small heavy-duty format (80 x 50 x 38mm) for applications requiring higher damping and larger deflection than a standard multicushion can provide. The conical rubber geometry increases the contact area between rubber and steel relative to a cylindrical isolator of the same size, providing higher static load capacity and greater resistance to lateral displacement. Heavy-duty grade for applications with higher dynamic loads or shock excitation than standard machinery, including diesel engines, reciprocating compressors, and off-road mobile plant.
- Mackay Conflex Isolator Medium HD 100 x 60 x 48mm: A medium heavy-duty Conflex isolator (100 x 60 x 48mm) for higher-load machinery mounting applications requiring greater vibration attenuation and deflection capacity than the small HD unit. The medium Conflex is typically specified for diesel engine and large pump mounting applications where the machine mass and forcing frequency combination requires a softer isolator with higher damping than a standard multicushion can provide. The heavy-duty compound resists the ozone, oil mist, and temperature cycling common in diesel engine rooms and compressor installations.
- Mackay Conflex Isolator Large 140 x 85 x 44mm: The large Conflex isolator (140 x 85 x 44mm) for high-load machinery mounting applications including large diesel engines, compressors, and industrial fans where a standard small or medium isolator does not provide adequate load capacity. The large format provides a higher WLL-rated rubber element for machines with significant static weight per mounting point, maintaining the required static deflection for effective vibration isolation.
- Mackay Mobile Two-Piece Isolator: A two-piece mobile isolator designed for mounting machinery on vehicles, trailers, and mobile plant where road shock and off-road vibration add dynamic loads to the machine mounting that a standard stationary isolator cannot accommodate. The two-piece design allows the upper and lower halves to be separated for easier installation on mobile plant frames with limited access, and provides the higher lateral load capacity needed to resist the dynamic side loads generated by road transport and off-road travel.
- Mackay Multibuffer: A rubber multibuffer for end-stop, bumper, and impact absorption applications on mobile plant, conveyor systems, sliding gates, and automated machinery where a controlled, resilient end-stop is needed to absorb impact energy and prevent structural damage at travel limits. Multibuffers are also used as anti-vibration pads under equipment that does not require a threaded mounting mount — simply placing the equipment on multibuffers provides isolation from floor vibration and prevents the equipment from walking on smooth floor surfaces.
Mackay Radiator Hose & Flexible Hose Components
Mackay’s radiator and flexible hose range provides the coolant circuit components needed for vehicle and plant maintenance and repair. In stock at AIMS Industrial for fast delivery.
- Mackay Radiator Overflow Hose: A flexible rubber radiator overflow hose for connecting the radiator overflow nipple to the coolant recovery bottle or overflow catch tank on vehicle and plant cooling systems. The overflow hose routes expelled coolant from the radiator pressure cap overflow to the recovery bottle, where it is retained and drawn back into the system as it cools — a sealed cooling system requirement in modern vehicles and plant that eliminates the coolant loss and top-up cycle of older non-recovery systems. Mackay’s hose is formulated for resistance to antifreeze, coolant additives, and the temperature cycling of engine cooling system operation.
- Mackay Flexi-Strap With Hooks: A flexible rubber strap with formed hooks for securing hoses, cables, pipes, and conduit to vehicle frames, machine structures, and equipment enclosures without the need for fixed clamps or brackets. Flexi-straps provide a quick, tool-free bundling and routing solution for hoses and cables in applications where the routing must be adjusted regularly or where vibration would fatigue a rigid clamp. The formed hooks engage over tabs, holes, or structural members, providing secure retention that can be quickly released for service access.
