Vibration isolation is the process of isolating an object, such as a piece of equipment, from the source of vibrations. Vibration is undesirable in many domains, primarily engineered systems and habitable spaces, and methods have been developed to prevent the transfer of vibration to such systems.

Vibration isolation solutions work to isolate sensitive equipment from a severe vibration environment, like a factory floor running several large heavy machines. Solutions can also be used to isolate an environment, such as the interior of a car, from vibration forces being generated from something like the engine.

Bilz products cover a wide range of applications. From the isolation of a single press with isolation pads up to active vibration isolation of highly sensitive equipment in the semiconductor industry, there is virtually no technical product for which we cannot provide an efficient and cost-effective solution. The following is a quick overview of some of the top vibration isolation solutions.

 

1. Vibration Isolation Pads/Pad sets

Vibration Isolation PadsIsolation pads have been used successfully for many years in a variety of industries as an economical solution in the fight against problems caused by vibration and structure-borne noise.

Bilz pads are long on quality and German engineering featuring:

  • High-quality composite material: made of nitrile rubber and cork particles embedded in a composite of cotton fibers
  • Industry Requirement Compliant
  • Strong damping properties both under static and dynamic loading
  • Secure anti-slip protection on conventional industrial floors
  • High resistance properties particularly to modern cooling lubricants
