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
Isolation 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
Used for vibration and structure-borne noise insulated machine installation, maintenance-free machine elements from Bilz guarantee simple and precise leveling of machines and are available in many versatile designs.
Leveling elements feature:
Selected according to application and load
Adaptable leveling by bolt length and individual requirements
Due to their large contact area, leveling wedges offer optimum support and stiffening of the machine bed for vibration and structure-borne noise isolation.
Bilz precision leveling wedges are available from stock in a wide range of sizes, load capacities, and configurations including:
i. Rubber Air Springs The Bilz FAEBI® rubber air springs are used for highly effective isolation of machines, apparatus and aggregates from shocks, vibrations and structure borne noise.
Suited for:
Machines and aggregates with highly dynamic disturbance forces: source isolation of fast running presses, forging hammers, and others
Passive isolation: measuring and test equipment & highly accurate machine tools
Low-frequency Bilz BiAir® membrane air springs offer precisely adjustable damping for effective vibration isolation of sensitive measurement and testing equipment, precise finishing machines, laser equipment and optical and electronic instruments as well as vehicle, engine and gearbox test beds, etc.
Highly effective vibration isolation of:
Sensitive measurement and testing equipment
Precise finishing machines
Laser equipment
Optical and electronic instruments
Vibration isolated bearings for vehicle, engine and gearbox test beds
Bilz mechanical pneumatic level control for air spring systems with FAEBI ® and FAEBI ® -HD rubber or BiAir ® membrane air springs provide powerful vibration isolation with maximum level control.
Real-time level control for efficient vibration isolation of vibration sensitive, highly dynamic machines and strict requirements on positional accuracy and setting time.
5. Active Isolation System AIS(™)
Active electronic-pneumatic vibration isolation system with powerful real-time control for the highest demands on effective isolation, deflection and constant level.
AIS™ is used when the isolation effect and reaction times of conventional passive air spring insulators and a customary level control system are not sufficient.
With membrane Air Spring Isolators and Automatic Level Controller and a range of applications, Bilz vibration tables are individually tailored to your needs.
Suited for:
Vibration sensitive measuring, e.g., measuring and testing machines; laser, optical and electronic; scales and medical equipment
