This 2-minute video and accompanying tutorial teaches proper installation to minimize vibration and improve reliability in HVAC and process systems.

Traditional isolators are fabricated using metal springs or rubber blocks. They have low internal damping and only tend to be effective at frequencies in the region of 10 Hz. They also fail to isolate ...

Prolonged or excessive vibration can interfere with performance and damage equipment. Wire rope isolators can reduce noise, vibration and shock levels all at once, which gives them a very favorable ...

For effective vibration isolation, it is desirable to increase the frequency ratio r to a value much larger than sqrt(2) by either reducing the stiffness of the system or increasing its mass. This is ...

Eric Ungar and Colin Gordon created the Vibration Criteria (VC) curves in the early 1980s. Originally, they were created as generic vibration criteria for vibration-sensitive equipment used in the ...
