Engine Mount & Transmission Mount Manufacturer - Rubber Motor Mounts for NVH & Vibration Control
ARPL manufactures rubber-to-metal bonded engine mounts and transmission mounts that secure the powertrain to the vehicle chassis while isolating vibration, noise, and harshness from the passenger cabin. Our mounts absorb engine firing forces, control torque reaction during acceleration and braking, and protect driveline alignment across the vehicle's operating range. ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing at IMT Manesar, Haryana.

Powertrain Mounts for Automotive & Commercial Vehicles
Engine mounts and transmission mounts are the primary NVH interface between the powertrain and vehicle structure. They must simultaneously support the static weight of the engine and gearbox, absorb high-frequency firing vibrations, control low-frequency engine movement during torque events, and survive 10+ years of thermal cycling, oil exposure, and fatigue loading.
ARPL manufactures solid rubber powertrain mounts using chemical rubber-to-metal bonding at our facility in IMT Manesar, Haryana. Natural Rubber (NR) compounds optimized for high resilience and fatigue life are the standard for most automotive applications. We serve OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across Delhi NCR, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, and global export markets.
Engine Mount Specifications & Capabilities
ARPL designs engine and transmission mounts to meet OEM static rate, dynamic stiffness, and fatigue life requirements with in-house testing and validation capabilities.
Key Performance Parameters
- Rubber compound: Natural Rubber (NR) — primary compound for highest resilience, dynamic fatigue resistance, and vibration isolation. NBR for oil-exposed areas, EPDM for extended heat resistance.
- Hardness: 40 to 70 Shore A — 40-50 Shore A for comfort-focused passenger cars; 55-70 Shore A for commercial vehicles and performance applications
- Temperature range: -40°C to +120°C — engineered for engine bay temperatures with heat shielding considerations
- Load capacity: 50 to 500 kg per mount — from compact car engines to heavy-duty truck powertrains
- Mount configurations: Sandwich, cylindrical, conical, pendulum — geometry selected for load direction, stiffness ratio, and available packaging space
- Metal: Mild steel (zinc/phosphate plated), aluminum — corrosion-protected for full vehicle life in all climatic conditions
- Bond strength: "R" failure mode — rubber tears before bond fails, confirmed by destructive peel testing per lot
Mount Design Types
- Sandwich mounts — rubber bonded between two flat metal plates. Simplest configuration for vertical compression loads. Used for transmission mounts and auxiliary engine supports.
- Cylindrical mounts (bobbins) — rubber bonded between inner and outer metal sleeves. Effective for combined radial and axial loads. Common in side engine mounts.
- Conical mounts — tapered geometry providing progressive stiffness under increasing load. Used where non-linear load characteristics are required.
- Pendulum / dog-bone mounts — connects engine to subframe with controlled movement. Common in transverse engine layouts as a torque reaction link.
Compound Comparison for Engine Mounts
| Compound | Temp. Range | Resilience | Oil Resistance | Fatigue Life | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NR | -40 to +80°C | Excellent | Poor | Excellent | Standard engine/transmission mounts (most common) |
| EPDM | -50 to +150°C | Good | Poor | Good | High-temp mounts, heat-shielded applications |
| CR | -35 to +120°C | Good | Moderate | Good | Oil-exposed commercial vehicle mounts |
| NBR | -30 to +120°C | Fair | Excellent | Fair | Engine-area mounts with direct oil/fuel contact |
Engine Mount Applications
ARPL's engine and transmission mounts serve powertrain isolation needs across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and industrial equipment.
Passenger Cars & SUVs
Front engine mounts, rear transmission mounts, side mounts, and roll restrictors for transverse and longitudinal engine layouts. Tuned for NVH refinement, low idle vibration, and smooth torque response across the RPM range. Supplied for popular Indian and global vehicle platforms.
Commercial Vehicles & Trucks
Heavy-duty engine mounts for diesel powertrains in trucks, buses, and LCVs. Higher hardness compounds for increased load capacity with extended fatigue life under commercial service conditions. Designed to control high torque reaction and engine movement under variable payload.
Construction & Off-Highway
Reinforced powertrain mounts for excavators, loaders, gensets, and agricultural equipment using high-durometer NR or CR compounds for maximum load support, oil resistance, and vibration isolation in harsh operating environments.
Aftermarket & Replacement
OE-quality replacement engine and transmission mounts manufactured to original OEM specifications with the same compounds, bonding processes, and quality standards as original equipment parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about engine and transmission mounts
An engine mount is a rubber-to-metal bonded component that secures the engine and transmission to the vehicle chassis. It performs four critical functions: supporting the static weight of the powertrain, absorbing engine firing vibrations to isolate the cabin from noise, controlling engine movement during acceleration and braking torque events, and maintaining driveline alignment to protect transmission and driveshaft components.
ARPL manufactures solid rubber engine mounts (front and rear), transmission mounts, side mounts, pendulum/dog-bone mounts, roll restrictors, sandwich-type mounts, cylindrical bobbin mounts, and conical mounts. We serve both transverse and longitudinal engine layouts for passenger cars, SUVs, trucks, and commercial vehicles from our facility at IMT Manesar, Gurugram, Haryana.
Solid rubber engine mounts use vulcanized rubber chemically bonded to metal inserts. They are durable, cost-effective, and provide excellent vibration isolation for standard vehicle applications. Hydraulic engine mounts incorporate fluid-filled chambers that provide frequency-dependent damping for superior NVH performance across a wider operating range, making them suitable for premium and performance vehicles where cabin refinement is critical.
Natural Rubber (NR) is the standard OEM compound for engine mounts worldwide due to its excellent resilience, fatigue resistance, and vibration damping properties. NBR (nitrile) is used where oil or fuel exposure is a concern. EPDM is selected for applications requiring extended heat resistance above +100°C. Compound selection depends on operating temperature, chemical exposure, and performance requirements.
ARPL engine and transmission mounts support loads from 50 kg to 500 kg per mount, covering the full range from compact car engines to heavy-duty commercial vehicle diesel powertrains. Load capacity, static rate, and dynamic stiffness are all customized per OEM vehicle platform specifications.
Every production lot undergoes destructive adhesion testing confirming "R" failure mode, hardness verification, dimensional inspection, and static compression testing. Static rate and load-deflection curves are validated against OEM specifications. All processes are controlled under ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems.
