Anti Vibration Materials

Typical Applications


Fig 1 1) Free standing installation
on single thickness pads.
Floors must be level.		 Pad A
SG 15 Machine tools, weaving machinery.
NBR 80 Heavy cutting machine tools, impact machines.
NBR 15 Injection moulders, hydraulic equipment.
IM 25 Power presses and other impact machines.
IM 25 Sensitive measuring, electronic and testing equipment.
VM General machinery and equipment.
SG P2 Anvil Pads, Transfer machinery
Fig 2 2) Free standing installation on multiple thickness pads A, B with shims C for levelling in between pads. Shims C can be steel plates (tack weld multiple plates together) or Squaregrip SG 2 P2 or 5 P2 pads. Pad A as above.
Pad B for shim gripping: SG 5.
Pad B for extra isolation same as Pad A.
Fig 3 3) Bolt through pad installation using single A, or multiple pad A, B configuration. AW anti-vibration washers D to isolate holding down bolts. Sleeve bolts passing through machine foot with Isolation Bush E if space permits. For top heavy or tall machines e.g. power presses.
Machines needing to be bolted down for extra stiffness or stability. e.g. certain weaving machines, shipboard machinery.
Fig 4 4) Bolt through pad installation with extra large anti-vibration washers D for applications where high static and/or dynamic bolt loadings expected. Generally for large power presses, steel processing machinery and other impact machinery.
Fig 5 5) Bolt through pad installations to steelwork support. Power presses and other impact machines.
Process plant, pumps, compressors, air-conditioning plant. Shipboard machinery.
Fig 6 6) Vibration damping pads A under steel spreader plates M installed in a drip tray. Drip tray L can be installed on Vidam 3 or 6 mm, material K to provide good seating on floor. Machinery needing installation in oil drip trays e.g. machine tools
Fig 7 7) Vibration damping pads A under steel spreader plates installed under adjustable mounts e.g. Isomounts, Wedgemounts

Pad A - ISOMAT IM

Impact machinery e.g. power presses where very high shock and vibration isolation is required. Machines on suspended floors where very good isolation is required.
Key to diagram
A) Vibration damping pad
B) Additional vibration damping or shim gripping pad
C) Levelling shims-either steel plates (tackwelded together to prevent slippage), or SG 2 P2 or SG 6 P2 pads. 		D) Bolt isolation (anti-vibration) washers AW, AWS
E) Bolt isolation bush, if space permits
F) Self-locking nut or normal nut + lock nut.
G) Hold down/foundation bolts.
H) Optional steel spreader plate (6-10mm thick) same size as pads A, B used to span bolt pockets in floor/foundation prior to grouting. 		J) Vidam 6 seating pad under steel plate H.
K) Vidam VM 3 or VM6 pads
L) Driptray
M) Steel spreader Plate
N) Adjustable machine mount e.g. Isomount, Wedgemount
