We understand the importance of selecting the correct vibration isolation solution for your impact machinery and the environment it operates in.
Vibration isolation of impact machinery is crucial to minimise the transmission of vibrations
Generated by the machinery to the surrounding structure and to reduce the negative effects of those vibrations.
Impact machinery, such as presses can produce high-intensity vibrations that can lead to equipment damage, noise, and structural issues if not properly isolated.
Farrat offer several strategies to combat vibration isolation of impact machinery:
Resilient Mounts
Resilient mounts, also known as vibration isolators or shock mounts, are commonly used to isolate impact machinery. These mounts are typically made of elastomeric materials, such as rubber or neoprene, which absorb and dissipate vibrations. Resilient mounts are installed between the machinery and its foundation or support structure, effectively decoupling the machinery from the surrounding environment and reducing vibration transmission.
Active Vibration Control
Active vibration control systems can be employed to actively counteract the vibrations generated by impact machinery. These systems use sensors to detect vibrations and actuators to generate counteractive forces that reduce the impact of vibrations. Active vibration control systems can be particularly effective in reducing the impact of impact machinery vibrations.
Inertia Bases
Inertia bases are heavy, rigid platforms or foundations that are specifically designed to support impact machinery.
