Anti Vibration Mountings

Anti-vibration mountings are typically used to reduce the transfer of machine vibration into adjacent surfaces or the air. Reduction of machine vibration is an important process because excessive vibration can lead to component failure due to stress and fatigue and high levels of radiated noise from the vibrating surface. Anti-vibration mountings are typically made of a resilient compound such as rubber.
