Machine feet and machine mounts for effective vibration isolation
With the right machine mounts or machine feet, you can effectively reduce machine vibrations and noise, as well as extend the service life of both the machinery and other surrounding equipment. A machine mount acts as a vibration isolator, absorbing vibrations and shocks before they are transmitted to the floor, foundation, and the supporting structure.
Limo offers a wide range of vibration-dampening machine mounts, machine pads, and vibration isolators for everything from small units to heavy industrial machinery. We help you find the right solution for effective machine vibration isolation, regardless of industry or application.
How do you choose the right machine mount?
The choice of machine mount or leveling foot depends on factors such as the machine's weight, center of gravity, rotational speed, load, and the vibration levels to be reduced. A correctly sized vibration isolator results in improved operating efficiency, lower noise levels, and reduced wear on both the machine and its surroundings.
If you are unsure which solution suits your machine, our technical specialists will help you choose the right machine mounts for optimal vibration isolation.
Machine feet
Insulator Type-M
A robust vibration isolator and machine mount that effectively reduces vibrations from industrial machinery. Type M is used where stable machine mounting is combined with good vibration damping and a long service life.
Cup mount
Cupmount is a proven machine mount that provides effective vibration isolation and is used for many different types of industrial machinery. Its design ensures a stable setup while reducing vibration and noise.
Paulstradyn
Paulstradyn represents the next generation of machine mounts, offering several technical advantages. All isolators share the same installed height regardless of size, simplifying installation and replacement.
Benefits:
- Low natural frequency of only 7 Hz
- Effective vibration isolation of machines
- Fully rubberized construction
- Withstands a 400-hour salt spray test
- Long service life
- Loads up to 1,350 kg per isolator
Paulstradyn is well-suited for machinery where high performance, corrosion resistance, and effective vibration damping are key requirements.
Engine set-up
A series of vibration isolators specifically developed for mobile and marine engine installations. The isolators operate down to a natural frequency of 6 Hz, providing very good vibration isolation even at low speeds.
Benefits:
- Withstands large shock loads
- Several different fastening options
- Includes height adjustment
- Loads from 600–2,300 kg per insulator
For applications where high operational reliability and effective vibration isolation are required.
Minifix
Minifix is a compact machine mount for smaller machines, such as office equipment, household appliances, and other lightweight equipment.
Also available in acid-resistant stainless steel for environments requiring high corrosion resistance.
Nivofix
Nivofix is a traditional machine mount with integrated leveling adjustment that makes it easy to align machines during installation.
Benefits:
- Built-in level adjustment
- Loads up to 12,000 kg
- Available in acid-resistant stainless steel
- Stable machine setup with good vibration damping
Nivofix is often used for large industrial machines where precise leveling and high load-bearing capacity are required.
Stabiflex
Stabiflex is a robust solution for machine mounting, made of cast aluminum. Its design is three times softer axially than radially, providing excellent vibration isolation while maintaining high machine stability.
Features:
- Progressive spring characteristics
- Also functions as a shock isolator
- Fully enclosed design
- Loads up to 1,800 kg per isolator
Stabiflex is suitable for machines exposed to both continuous vibrations and severe shocks.
Paulstrafloat
The Paulstrafloat is a proven engine mount for marine engines that effectively reduces vibration and noise. It contributes to increased comfort on board while reducing the load on the engine foundation and hull.
