Anti Vibration Mounts – For Durable and Peaceful Industrial Operations

Anti Vibration Mounts 3 900x313, Horiaki

The engineering industry is a boon to mankind for all the ways in which it has simplified our everyday lives. By transforming one form of energy into another with the use of different phenomenon, absolutely everything is achievable. However, there are certain things that are needed to be taken care of. One such matter is vibration in the mechanical parts. When an electrical device has moving mechanical parts, some amount of vibration is definitely produced. This tremor may get transmitted to other parts of the machinery and leave a damaging impact. This is when the Anti Vibration Mounts come into use.

Anti Vibration Mounts – What they can do

Also known as Vibro isolators, these mounts are capable of absorbing the undesired vibration and noise and are used in a huge range of industries. Vibration can affect a system in three main ways:

  • Cause wear and tear in the equipment
  • Affect the system being engineered
  • Impact the health of the people involved in the process

These mounts work to balance out the frequency of the system with the disturbing frequency. A good quality Anti Vibration Mount can absorb almost 50% of the unwanted frequency thus produced. These are made from processed rubber into shapes required as per its implementation.

Uses

These vibration-absorbing rubber mounts find common use in industries like:

  • Ceiling fans – The mounts can absorb the vibrations produced due to a fan’s cooling mechanism. These can also absorb the noise produced by the system rendering a quiet environment for the workers.
  • Cooling fans in industries – Proper functioning of cooling fans and ventilation units in industries is necessary for ensuring proper functioning of other devices and avoid overheating. If the cooling fans don’t work appropriately, the whole system will be affected.
  • Jet airplanes – Huge amounts of tremors produced in airplanes can be soaked up with specifically designed vibration absorbers.
  • Motors and pumps – Due to their unique operation, motors and pumps give out vibration and noise as a by-product in addition to the functionality for which these are designed for. A small custom-designed rubber shock absorber can help get rid of these unwanted phenomena.
  • Manufacturing machines
  • Transformers
  • Compressors
  • Air handling equipment

From the most compact smartphones to the huge nuclear power generating systems, these Anti Vibration Mounts find their use in an immense range of applications.

Why rubber

Though different materials can be used for manufacturing Anti Vibration Mounts, rubber is the most commonly used one. The reasons for the same are:

  • High durability – Rubber can withstand tough operating environments. It is highly resistant to high temperatures, pressure, oil penetration, and surface abrasion.
  • Workable – The color, shape, size, and nature of rubber are highly adjustable. Thus, mounts made from rubber can be customized to the highest level.
  • Cost-effective – Readily available, rubber is highly cost-effective and the cost of rubber parts production is very low as compared to other materials.
