Concept of anti-vibration mounts

Anti-vibration mounts are elements designed to absorb, reduce or isolate vibrations and noise generated by machinery, structures or equipment in operation. Its main function is to minimize the transmission of these vibrations to adjacent construction elements or structures, improving the durability of the components and environmental comfort.

These devices are widely used in industrial sectors, construction and mechanical systems, where vibrations can affect stability, performance or generate acoustic nuisance. Thanks to their ability to cushion impacts and movements, anti-vibration mounts help preserve structural integrity and protect the health of users.

Rubber and elastomer supports

Anti-vibration mounts made of rubber or elastomers are the most common due to their high absorption capacity and flexibility. These materials allow controlled deflection that reduces the transmission of vibrations to the structures where they are installed.

There are variants with different hardnesses and chemical compounds that adapt to specific temperatures, loads and frequencies, making them ideal for industrial machinery, HVAC systems and electromechanical equipment.

Furthermore, their resistance to chemical agents and aging makes them a durable and reliable option in demanding environments, guaranteeing efficient insulation for long periods.

Supports with metal springs

Anti-vibration mounts with metal springs are designed to absorb low-frequency vibrations and high loads. Its operating principle is based on the elasticity of the spring that acts like a spring, providing effective isolation against oscillatory movements.

These supports are often combined with damping elements to control resonances and prevent excessive movements that could damage the structure or equipment.

They are common in applications where robust insulation is required, such as in compressors, pumps and heavy systems that generate significant vibrations.
