Anti-Vibration Mounts vs Vibrations – How to Protect Your Machinery

What Is an Anti-Vibration Mount?

Anti-vibration mounts are rubber shock absorbers used in machines and industrial equipment. They absorb compressive, tensile and shear loads, and combinations of these forces. Typically made from rubber or a rubber-metal compound, they can be installed on floors, walls or ceilings.

What Are Rubber Anti-Vibration Mounts Used For?

These mounts are designed to reduce mechanical vibrations and noise generated by stationary equipment such as electric motors, gearboxes, shafts, compressors and transformers. Industrial machines produce vibrations that can reduce performance and lifespan by loosening components or causing damage. Anti-vibration mounts isolate these vibrations between surfaces, like the floor and the machine base, improving stability and efficiency.

At Power Rubber, you'll find a wide selection of rubber mounts, anti-vibration pads, damping mats and machine feet designed to effectively isolate vibrations. Choose from various DVA types or LWA vibration damping feet.

Types A, B, C, D, E – Protection Against Vibrations and Noise

Why Eliminate Harmful Vibrations?

While some vibrations – like your phone's buzz or the pulse of concert music – are beneficial, others can be destructive. Vibrations generated by electric motors, gear units or shafts can negatively affect machine components and human health. POWER Rubber offers high-quality rubber-metal mounts that absorb vibrations and extend equipment life.

Rubber-metal mounts made of stainless steel provide excellent vibration isolation, reducing structural damage. Our range includes:

• Type A: double stud mounts

• Type B: stud and threaded hole

• Type C: two threaded holes

• Type D: stud and flat rubber base

• Type E: threaded hole and flat rubber base

Noise Reduction Benefits

Rubber and rubber-metal bump stops also absorb sound. By isolating vibrations, they prevent noise transmission to the environment – improving work comfort and boosting employee productivity.

Why Choose Power Rubber Anti-Vibration Mounts?

Our anti-vibration mounts are flexible in design and act as active dampers. They reduce dynamic forces transmitted to the ground and limit environmental vibration impact. While foundations can also reduce vibrations, they are costly, heavy, and space-consuming. Anti-vibration mounts are more versatile, efficient and cost-effective.

Where to Use Anti-Vibration Mounts?

Rubber shock absorbers are essential in many sectors. They're ideal for metal and wood processing machinery, compressors, pumps, fans, shears and presses. They are also used in food production, construction, marine equipment and vehicles.

Our range includes:

• Cylindrical anti-vibration mounts

• Disc mounts

• Tapered vibration isolators

• Spring mounts

• Dome and flat-top mounts

Machine Feet and Levelling Feet

Levelling feet are used on uneven surfaces to stabilise and align machines. They provide excellent vibration damping and protect components from floor-transmitted shocks. Designed to resist compressive loads.
