RunRight® Anti-Vibration Mounts Product Information

Manufacturers of anti-vibration mounts usually offer machine mounts with varying natural frequencies, to eliminate the excitation frequency of the machine, versus the natural frequency of the anti-vibration mount. Vibration technology differentiates between two types of oscillation signatures. Sinusoidal oscillation of working equipment produces a predictable vibration signature. Sinusoidal oscillations occur on generators, compressors and blowers, which require a soft RAV D mount, whereas, shocks or impacts produce a non-predictable signature. For mixers, crushers, punching presses and shears, a RAV mount would be prefered.

Dampening effect is related to the proportion of the relevant acoustic resistance to acoustic velocity, and the material density. Typically, the ideal amount of isolation of solid-born noise can be expected through the entire frequency range with a rubber-steel mount combination. Isolation in relationship to steel is shown in the chart to the right.

Isolation Properties

Active isolation prevents the direct transfer of a machine’s vibrations into the substructure, frame and building. In order to select anti-vibration mounts, the machine structure stiffness, center of gravity, interfering frequency, and machine location need to be known.

Passive isolation installs a protective barrier between the shocks and vibrations that occur in a factory when sensitive instruments, laboratory equipment, or electronic controls are involved. Sensitive equipment needs to be protected by installing them on soft ant-vibration mounts (RAV D) that will absorb the environmental impacts.

An overview of the RunRigh anti-vibration mount product line is summarized below.  Additional product guidelines and data can also be found in the full RunRight product catalog.

RAV D

  • Designed to absorb tensile, pressure, and shear loads
  • Available in 6 sizes with a load range of 45 to 4271 lbs (200 to 19000 N) per mount, with natural frequencies between 3.5 and 8 Hz (see catalog)
  • Used for machine installations where the machine frequency is greater than the Type ESL natural frequency
  • Manufactured with cast iron housings, aluminum inner squares, steel brackets, and standard Tensys® 10 rubber inserts for applications operating within a -40° to 180°F (-40° to 80°C) temperature range

RAV

  • Designed for multi-directional applications requiring the absorption of tensile, pressure and shear loads.
  • Available in 6 sizes with a load range of 67 to 2700 lbs (300 to 12000 N) per mount, with natural frequencies between 10 and 30 Hz (see catalog)
  • Used for machine installations where the machine frequency is less than the Type V natural frequency
  • Manufactured with aluminum housings and inner squares, steel brackets, and standard Tensys® 10 rubber inserts for applications operating within a -40° to 180°F (-40° to 80°C) temperature range

The following are just three classic examples of how RunRight™ anti-vibration mounts can help improve a system.

Vibration Suppression – Designed for vibration-suppression type applications with high sinusoidal frequencies.

 
Shock Absorption – Shock absorption for impact beds provides protection of conveyor belts.
Noise Insulation – Highly elastic suspension units absorb active or passive vibrations, and provide solid-born noise insulation.

Active Isolation – Prevents the direct transfer of a machine’s vibrations into the substructure, frame and building. In order to select anti-vibration mounts, the machine structure stiffness, center of gravity, interfering frequency, and machine location need to be known.

Passive Isolation – Installs a protective barrier between the shocks and vibrations that occur in a factory when sensitive instruments, laboratory equipment, or electronic controls are involved. Sensitive equipment needs to be protected by installing them on soft ant-vibration mounts (ESL) that will absorb the environmental impacts.
