A method of making a compressible elastomeric pad from a preselected polymer material includes the steps of providing a preform (106) including a substantially solid body (105a) having a predetermined cross-section disposed normal to a central axis (106b) of the preform and a pair of axial ends (106c), each having a substantially flat surface disposed normal to the central axis and a central socket (106d) formed within at least one substantially flat surface. Next, providing a pair of forming plates (400), at least one of the pair of forming plates having a raised annular ring (404) and an axially aligned cavity (406) provided on one surface thereof. Then, positioning the preform between the pair of forming plates and axially aligning the exterior peripheral edge of the annular ring with a peripheral edge of a respective central socket. Finally, forming the pad and removing the pad from engagement with the pair of forming plates. |
