The foundation of effective vibration isolation: achieving natural frequencies significantly below the vibration frequencies present in the application. Vibrabsorber Spring Mounts accomplish this through carefully designed coil springs that provide the large deflections necessary for low natural frequencies while supporting the substantial loads required for industrial equipment mounting. Physics doesn't negotiate—you need enough deflection to achieve low natural frequencies. Both seismic and non-seismic versions are available to meet different application requirements. Seismic-rated mounts include additional features that limit equipment movement during seismic events, protecting both equipment and personnel in earthquake-prone regions. Non-seismic versions provide optimized isolation for vibration-sensitive applications where seismic restraint isn't required. Different regions need different solutions. Adjustable height capabilities simplify installation and allow compensation for uneven floors or equipment settling over time. This adjustability ensures proper leveling and consistent load distribution across multiple mount locations, maintaining optimal isolation performance throughout the equipment lifecycle. Equipment settles; mounts need to adapt. These deliver industrial-grade vibration isolation for heavy machinery, precision equipment, and structural applications requiring substantial load capacity and low natural frequency performance. Robust spring isolators combine precision-engineered steel springs with adjustable mounting hardware, providing versatile solutions for demanding vibration control applications. **Key Features** - High-capacity steel coil springs - Natural frequencies as low as 2-5 Hz - Seismic and non-seismic options available - Adjustable height for leveling compensation - Load capacities from 100 kg to 5000 kg per mount - Powder-coated or galvanized finish options - Built-in snubbing for shock loading - Designed for industrial and precision applications **Technical Specifications** - Spring Material: Oil-tempered or music wire steel - Natural Frequency: 2-8 Hz depending on model - Damping: 5-8% of critical (internal) - Load Range: 100-5000 kg per mount - Deflection: 25-75mm under rated load - Housing Material: Powder-coated or hot-dip galvanized steel - Height Adjustment: ±15mm from nominal - Snubbing Gap: 3-6mm (adjustable on seismic models) - Temperature Range: -40°C to +120°C - Seismic Capacity: Up to 0.5g acceleration (seismic models) **Applications / Use Cases** Industrial manufacturing equipment including CNC machining centers, presses, and forming machines generates significant vibration that can affect both product quality and operator comfort. Vibrabsorber Spring Mounts isolate this vibration, protecting surrounding areas and improving measurement accuracy for precision applications. Vibration degrades quality; isolation protects it. Power generation and HVAC equipment including chillers, cooling towers, and air handling units produce low-frequency vibration that can transmit through building structures into occupied spaces. Spring mounts provide the isolation necessary to meet noise criteria in commercial and residential buildings. Low-frequency problems need spring solutions. Precision measurement and testing equipment including coordinate measuring machines, vibration testing tables, and microscopy systems require isolation from ambient vibration that can affect measurement accuracy. The low natural frequencies achievable with spring mounts provide the isolation these sensitive applications demand. When measuring microns, vibration isolation isn't optional. **Why Choose This Product** Vibrabsorber Spring Mounts provide the load capacity and isolation performance necessary for industrial applications that exceed the capabilities of lighter-duty isolators. The range of capacities from 100 kg to 5000 kg per mount ensures appropriate selection regardless of equipment weight. Heavy equipment needs heavy-duty mounts. Both seismic and non-seismic options allow optimization for specific application requirements. Seismic models include restraint features for earthquake protection, while non-seismic models provide optimized isolation for applications where seismic concerns don't apply. California needs seismic; most places don't. Adjustable height capability simplifies installation and maintains performance over time. This adjustability compensates for floor variations and allows re-leveling as equipment settles, ensuring consistent isolation performance throughout the equipment lifecycle. Install once, adjust as needed. **Frequently Asked Questions** **What is the difference between seismic and non-seismic mounts?** Seismic mounts include restraint features that limit equipment movement during earthquake events. Non-seismic mounts provide optimized isolation for vibration-sensitive applications where seismic protection isn't required. If you're in an earthquake zone, get seismic. Otherwise, non-seismic performs better. **How do I determine how many mounts I need?** Mount quantity depends on equipment weight distribution, mounting point locations, and isolation requirements. Minimum of four mounts is typical, with additional mounts for equipment with concentrated weight areas. Check equipment center of gravity and weight distribution. **Can these mounts be used outdoors?** Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for covered outdoor installations. For direct exposure or harsh environments, we offer specialized weatherized versions with enhanced protection. Covered outdoor is fine; direct weather exposure needs special versions.
