Rubber mounts, also known as anti-vibration mounts, are essential components in various machinery and equipment. They are designed to isolate vibrations and reduce noise, protecting sensitive components and improving overall system performance.
Key Functions:
- Vibration Isolation: Reduces the transmission of vibrations from a source (e.g., a motor, engine) to its surroundings.
- Noise Reduction: Minimizes noise levels generated by vibrating equipment.
- Shock Absorption: Protects equipment from sudden impacts and shocks.
- Misalignment Compensation: Accommodates slight misalignments between components.
Common Applications:
- Industrial Machinery: Used in various industrial settings, including factories, power plants, and refineries.
- Automotive Industry: Employed in engines, transmissions, and other components.
- HVAC Systems: Used to isolate compressors, fans, and other vibrating equipment.
- Electronics: Employed in sensitive electronic equipment to protect them from vibrations.
Types of Rubber Mounts:
- Bonded Rubber Mounts: Consist of rubber bonded between metal inserts.
- Unbonded Rubber Mounts: Made of solid rubber with no metal inserts.
- Hydraulic Rubber Mounts: Incorporate hydraulic fluid for enhanced vibration damping.
