Suffering from Generator/Compressor/Motor/Pump Vibrations.

Putting an end to Generator/Compressor/Motor/Pump Vibrations.

Many machines are generating vibrations and these vibrations are damaging the internal parts, bearing, gears and shafts of the machine. Vibrations in Generators can travel through an entire building structure and cause annoyance and constant irritation to the building inhabitants. Similarly, a large compressor mounted on a factory rooftop can create massive vibrations during intermittent start-ups and stops. While you can reduce vibrations in these machines by following proper maintenance schedules, the truth is that eventually when the machine (generator or compressor or motor or pump) gets older, the maintenance costs and maintenance downtime increases. In this case, vibrations are not totally UN-avoidable. The machines will vibrate. But what can be easily accomplished is mounting the machine on new Anti-Vibration Mounts. The Anti-Vibration Mounts are made from vibration absorbing materials like springs, rubber or air. The major advantage of these Anti-Vibration mounts is that while they do not stop the actual vibrations inside the machine, they can effectively isolate all vibrations being produced by the machine. In other words, the vibrations produced by the machine are not transmitted beyond the Anti-Vibration Mounts.
Let's look at the diagram below illustrating the vibration isolation property of the Anti-Vibration Mounts. The diagram shows the side-view of a Genset installed on our Anti-Vibration Mounts (AV Mounts). While the Generator vibrates and makes the liquid placed on top of it to vibrate vigorously, the bottom frame of the generator is vibration isolated.

The above is the Demonstration  of Vibration Isolation by Anti-Vibration Mounts for a Generator/Compressor/Motor/Pump. We can clearly see that the generator is producing massive vibrations and is thus vibrating the glass full of liquid on top. The generator is further flexibly mounted on Anti-Vibration Mounts with fail-safe design. The Vibrations are transmitted by the generator into the AV Mounts. The AV-mounts being made from high quality elastomeric rubber compounds are able to absorb these vibrations with ease. The design of the Anti-Vibration Mounts is such that there is no direct metal-to-metal path for the vibrations to travel. This vibration isolation is possible using our superior AntiVibration Mounts. Additionally, the design of the Anti-Vibration Mounts plays a critical role in damping Generator / Compressor / Motor / Pump Vibrations. The vibrations in these machines are typically produced due to imbalanced rotation. This results in vibrations that are vertical and horizontal in nature. The Anti-Vibration Mounts should be able to absorb both these vertical and horizontal vibrations in all planes. Apart from these vertical and horizontal vibrations, these machines also produce heavy torsional / rotational vibrations. The Anti-Vibration Mount design should be capable of isolating and absorbing these Rotational Vibrations.
Thus, with the use of simple and effective Anti-Vibration Mounts, we can greatly control, absorb and isolate the harmful and annoying vibrations that get transmitted from these machines. Another added advantage of these Anti-Vibration Mounts is the reduction in noise transmission as the vibration is effectively controlled and isolated.
