Bolt Down Anti-Vibration Mounts
Anti-vibration mounts are an essential component in many industries, used to reduce or eliminate the transmission of vibrations from equipment or machinery to the surrounding structure. Vibrations can cause damage to equipment and structures, as well as create noise and discomfort for workers.
WDS Components is a leading supplier of anti-vibration mounts, offering a range of bolt-down mounts that are designed to be easily installed onto existing structures. These mounts are supplied in a few variations, including those with a shear cap, which is a safety feature that prevents the mount from failing under excessive load.
Anti-vibration mounts work by using a flexible rubber element, to absorb and isolate vibrations. The mount is then sandwiched between the equipment or machinery and the mounting surface, creating a gap that allows the vibrations to be absorbed. The mounting surface is typically bolted to the structure, allowing it to be securely fastened in place.
WDS Components offers anti-vibration mounts in a variety of shore hardness, which refers to the stiffness or resistance of the rubber or spring element. Different shore hardness are suitable for different applications, depending on the load and frequency of the vibrations. Using mounts with varying hardnesses of shore allows customers to tailor the performance of the mount to their specific needs, ensuring that they get the best possible isolation and protection. Shore A hardness from 40 to 70 are all available. For help with the selection of an AV mount, contact tech@wdscomponents.com for example calculations.
In addition to the mounts, WDS Components also offers fitting kits, which include all the necessary components for easy installation.
These kits include a threaded rod, two full nuts, one spring washer, a flat washer, and a half nut. These components allow the mount to be securely fastened to the structure, ensuring that it is properly supported and able to effectively isolate vibrations. The kit is perfect for customers who want to purchase the full solution without the need to worry about whether the fasteners they have are adequate for the job.
The WDS range of anti-vibration mounts offers a number of different types and designs to suit a variety of industrial applications. Some mounts have specific features which make them more suited to a particular situation; for example, the 721 fully encapsulated Turret Mount is well suited to HVAC applications where electrical insulation could be important, or the 719 Captive Transit Mount with its overload fail-safe feature assisting in mobile plant applications and the protective metal cap shielding the mount from contamination by oil to the 710-715 cylindrical bobbin mounts and stops for more general purpose applications.
Anti-vibration mounts are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, transportation, manufacturing, and power generation. They are used to isolate vibrations from a range of equipment, including engines, pumps, generators, and compressors. By reducing or eliminating vibrations, anti-vibration mounts can improve the performance and lifespan of equipment, as well as create a safer and more comfortable working environment.
