Reduce vibrations with vibration isolators
Reduce vibrations with isolators. Limo offers components for vibration and shock isolation, often called vibration dampers or vibration isolators. Machine setups with vibration dampers are available in a variety of designs and models, manufactured in varying materials to meet the requirements of most existing applications.
How does effective vibration isolation work?
Effective vibration isolation works by separating the vibrating machine from the supporting surface. The isolator absorbs and dampens the vibrations before they spread to the building or other machines.
The choice of vibration isolator depends on, among other things:
- Machine weight
- Rotational speed and interference frequency
- Type of load
- Surrounding area
- Requirements for movement or stability
By selecting the right isolator, you can significantly reduce vibrations, improve machine performance, and lower the risk of operational disruptions.
Which vibration isolator fits my machine?
There are vibration isolators suitable for various types of applications.
It depends on:
- Machine weight
- Center of gravity
- Rotational speed
- Type of vibrations
- Ambient temperature
- Whether the machine is to be free-standing or suspended
Limo helps you choose the right solution, whether you need a rubber machine mount, an all-steel isolator, or an advanced vibration isolator.
Wire rope insulators
Wire insulators - WR, CR and HR
Wire rope isolators are used when there are high demands for vibration and shock isolation. They are particularly suitable for electronics, generators, hydraulic power units, and compressors, as well as for marine and mobile installations where traditional industrial vibration dampers are insufficient. For instance, when mounted on ships, aircraft, helicopters, and construction machinery.
WR wire rope isolator
The classic wire rope isolator is available in many sizes and can be supplied in acid-resistant stainless steel (316). The design ensures high strength and a long service life, even in demanding environments. In the smaller models, the mounting bars are plastically formed around the wire rope, resulting in a highly stable attachment and enabling more economical production of the isolators.
CR wire rope isolator
A model of wire rope isolator that offers many advantages.
· Compact
· Simple assembly
· Insulating/damping in all directions, even towards horizontal planes
· Economic
HERM - HR wire rope isolator
The HR isolator is based on the same technology as the WR but is encapsulated in elastomer, providing additional vibration damping and increased stability.
