Bolt Down Anti Vibration Mounts

Bolt down anti-vibration mounts, also known as plate mounts, are a type of anti-vibration mount used in various industrial and automotive applications.

Bolt down anti-vibration mounts consist of a metal plate with a threaded stud or bolt attached to the centre of the plate. The plate is usually made of steel or aluminium, while the stud or bolt is typically made of stainless steel or zinc-plated steel. The plate is attached to the equipment using bolts or screws, while the stud or bolt is attached to the mounting surface.

The plate of the mount is designed to flex and absorb vibrations that are transmitted from the equipment to the mounting surface. The plate may have a sandwich construction with a layer of resilient material, such as rubber, bonded between two metal plates. The resilient material helps to absorb and dissipate the energy of the vibration, while the metal plates provide strength and stability to the mount.

Bolt down anti-vibration mounts work by isolating the equipment from the mounting surface, which reduces the transmission of vibrations. The mounts are designed to provide a high degree of vibration isolation while still maintaining stability and rigidity for the equipment. Bolt down anti-vibration mounts are commonly used in applications where heavy machinery or equipment is used, such as compressors, generators, pumps, and engines.
