Vibration isolators Advice of the week : Vibration isolators at the height of the centre of gravity.

Vibration isolators are often installed beneath vibrating machines, in many cases where there is a fixing hole on a frame. Although this may be a practical and fast way of installing the vibration isolators, special caution must be considered so the stability of the suspended is assured.

An easy way to solve this situation is by placing the vibration isolators at the height of the centre of gravity. This way we will assure that the suspended element will not be its own natural frequency.

AMC-MECANOCAUCHO application engineers can help by making 6dof calculations, where the optimum position of the mounts can be found, and simulations of displacement can be obtained.

In order to make this calculation, AMC-MECANOCAUCHO application engineers will require the following information:

1. 3D drawing.

2. Total load.

3. Center of Gravity position.

4. Possible position of mounts.

5. Disturbing frequency.

6. Shock magnitude, duration and sense.
