Elastic machine mounting refers to the installation and fastening of machines or units in order to avoid or significantly reduce the transmission of vibrations and oscillations to the foundation, building or neighbouring machines. The aim is to improve the productivity and precision of the machine as well as to minimise noise, wear and tear and perturbations in the environment.
What should you look out for when storing machines?
- The natural frequency of the suspension should be as low as possible (e.g. 3-5 Hz) so that low-frequency perturbations are effectively isolated. isoloc systems such as FEDAM and AIRDAM offer this range
- Selection of the appropriate stiffness and spring travel (deflection) depending on the load and dynamic influences
- Use of good damping to allow oscillations to decay quickly
- Ensuring stability in all spatial directions, especially with transverse forces - e.g. with MULTIDAM angled support elements
- Possibility of anchoring or free-standing installation, depending on the installation conditions
- Material quality: resistance to ageing, oil, environmental influences - isoloc uses e.g. elastomers and reinforced elements in AIRDAM
Typical areas of application for isoloc machine storage systems
Conclusion
The isoloc solution has achieved a sustainable improvement in machine stability and ambient vibration. The current installation is extremely reliable in long-term operation: No readjustment, no wandering, no noticeable vibrations in neighbouring areas. The machine shoes used therefore offer a future-proof and low-maintenance solution.
The customer is delighted with the current solution - the Vibration insulation fulfils his requirements in every respect.
