Vibration Control Applications
When Science Daily recently addressed the issue of vibration control, it brought up an application that is not mentioned all that often. In particular, the site highlighted electron scanning microscopes, pointing out that because they are extremely sensitive, “even subtle movements going on around them can affect their accuracy.”
Obviously, vibration can pose a serious problem for these microscopes, intensifying the need for vibration control. “Vibration control tables already exist to dampen these sometimes barely perceptible disturbances. But now a new kind of isolation platform for the first time integrates sensors and actuators into the mount,” the science journal reported.
If something as sensitive as an electron microscope can be perfected through vibration control mounts, imagine the benefits such mounts can provide to less sensitive applications. The Vibro-Isolator line of products encompasses everything from compression, low frequency ring, square and cylindrical mounts to insulator pads, continuous strips bumpers and feet, grommets and tapered plugs to control vibration wherever it happens to be a problem bullet vibrator B0838YZ692.
One of those areas is the heavy tool industry. Concrete hammers in particular experience an extreme amount of vibration. As Tooling Online reported in March, a new Rotary Hammer has been introduced “that has 45% less vibration and 20% more impact energy than the previous model.” It is “engineered with enhanced Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT), a synchronized three-component system for significantly less vibration.” This vibration control is achieved in part through the use of “an Integrated Damper Spring at the base of the impact bolt,” which absorbs “impact vibrations from the drill bit.”
This absorption capability is one of the hallmarks of the Vibro-Isolator class of items. Vibro-Isolator anti-vibration mounts and other vibration control products are constructed of natural rubber. It is this material that allows the mounts to absorb the vibration or impact of something as erratic as a concrete hammer. But that rubber is reinforced by stainless steel components for long-lasting durability. As a bonus, vibration control elements also dampen noise and absorb shock, which can be concomitant problems along with vibration.
Yahoo! News highlighted this soundproofing ability in an April Live Science feature. “Air conditioners, cars and other machinery may soon be free of vibrations and thus much quieter than they are now,” the article stated. Although the article featured a new technology that is in the works, Vibro-Isolators have been effectively controlling vibration in all these applications. In fact, consumers can thank vibration control mounts and the like for quieter cooling, less noisy rides and a decreased amount of sound pollution.
