Will these pads work for reducing vibration on outdoor AC units (in hot summers, snowy winters) or will they break due to heat/cold?

I would think they'd be fine for that - they're solid rubber and pretty beefy.

They are a thin rubber. They would help somewhat, but would probably be more protective if you were walking in sand so the sand would not get between the pads of the dogs paws same as walking in the snow. They helped more with that type of issue.

I also have the same issue. I purchased this last June and worked through the summer. Now both pads are rock hard.

These pads can be cut as short as you want - temperature sensor is located next to the cord, so don't cut that short :) Covering the cut edge is not a bad idea. You can also cut a slot or a rectangular opening across the pad as long as the two conductors at the sides are not damaged. How do I know? I'm an electrical engineer and work a lot on my cars.

I don't think it will work. The pads are flat and will not hold well on a round tube under vibration.

I am not sure but i do know if temp. outside is above mid 80s then pressure is increased enough in them that they wont work properly , so id guess , depending how your house is kept as far as its ambient temperature that ,that gives you some idea, sorry i couldn' t give you better answer .

I don't use it outside, I use them only inside so they don't get sweaty, and I have had a pair for 5-6 years and have never replaced the pads, the more you use them, the foam will deteriorate. I keep them in a pouch to stay clean and dry. but you can replace them in a bulk pack on Amazon.

i just looked up your unit and yes these pads should work with yours if your still not sure here is a phone number you can call to ask them your question 425-502-6940 and email painedic@gmail.com you can send them back if they don't work but i do think these will work for you.

Its my understanding the silicon pads are designed to heat fluids, and your sliding gate is electric with no hydraulic assist. The manufacturer of both the pad and your opener may be of more assistance, but if the motor is the problem I am guessing a very small pad would heat it enough to function in the cold. Kat's makes small strip pads that may do the trick. They also make battery warmers if your opener is in a remote location and just on battery power.

We have 4 of these installed in outdoor "cat homes." 3 have been trouble free for 2-3 years of November-March use (NorthCentral WV climate) One pad's controls went haywire during the first heating season and literally caused the heating coils to deform (melt) the plastic The distributor in Colorado Springs replaced it since it was within warranty. (I did have to ship the defective unit back.) Haven't had any problems with the others, so I'd say "quality/longevity" might be "hit-or-miss." The cats like 'em, but you should probably not be surprised if the control circuit fails *just* after the warranty expires.

I suspect so as they are really heavy. I bought these to put under heavy audio speakers so my experience with applications regarding heat accommodations are severly limited.

These work fine on icy blacktop, packed snow, bare sidewalks or roads. Just indoors they are a hazard.

as in all suction cups they won't work on very frigid weather, if they are hanging, but in this case where the Universal Cup Holder Suction mount is placed on the cup holder which is not hanging, it will surely work and at the same time your heater is on.

Not to my knowledge. I did quite a bit of online research myself prior to purchasing, even called an Akebono retailer. For the price, these pads are amazing, however I've only had mine on my vehicle for a few months so it's hard to tell how they perform over time and use.

We are in Australia and have been using these alarms summer and winter, lowest here would have been -2 degrees. As long as you use non rechargeable batteries they should work fine

. I got them to trap the water fromMelting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

Can't guaranty it. But seems like it is worth a try. Here is another option: Isolate It: Sorbothane Vibration Isolation Heavy Duty Square Pad (2.5" x 2.5" x 1/4" Thick) 30 Duro - 4 Pack
