Overview
Vibro/Dynamics vibration isolators, shock mounts and leveling mounts support, level and align industrial machinery while cutting transmitted shock and vibration. They protect in both directions: precision machines are shielded from outside vibration, and people and buildings are shielded from machines that generate it. Micro/Level elastomer isolators come in over 6,000 models for machines weighing up to 2,500 tons.
Key Features
- Two-way isolation
- Protects precision machinery from its surroundings, and protects people and the plant from machines that generate shock and vibration.
- Built-in leveling
- Leveling screws, wedges or hydraulic-jack designs let you precisely level and align the machine on its mounts.
- Over 6,000 models
- Micro/Level isolators come in hundreds of load ranges to support machines weighing up to 2,500 tons.
- Heavy-duty construction
- A one-piece housing, high-strength steel bearing plate, heat-treated adjustment screw and custom-molded elastomer.
- Holds position
- On wedge isolators, the patented Glide-Ring dissipates horizontal forces so machines don't walk.
- Oil-resistant elastomer
- Wedge leveling isolators use nitrile elastomer cushions with excellent oil and chemical resistance.
- Engineering support
- Vibro/Dynamics offers custom isolator design, on-site vibration measurement and analysis, and installation advice.
Product Line / Models
Vibro/Dynamics product families:
- Micro/Level 6 to 8 Series – machine tools from 1,000 to 50,000 lb and presses from 5,000 to 17,000 lb. M, L and K models are matched to the machine's unbalanced forces.
- Micro/Level 9 to 26 Series – machine tools from 15,000 to 70,000 lb and presses from 17,000 to 350,000 lb. Load ratings to 135,000 lb (600 kN) and natural frequencies as low as 10 Hz.
- Wedge Leveling Micro/Level – for presses and high-accuracy equipment. A wedge mechanism levels fast, and a swivel dish compensates for sloped floors.
- MX Series – precision leveling elastomer isolators with a hydraulic jack opening, for large-tonnage presses.
- Coil spring isolators – SVX, VSM and VSX models. VSX is a heavy-duty, viscous-damped, low-natural-frequency design.
- Forging hammer isolation systems – FSX/FSV spring isolators and MRM systems for forging hammers and presses.
Applications & Benefits
- Metal stamping presses: Isolate impact forces and level the press on its mounts.
- Forging hammers and presses: Reduce shock sent to foundations, nearby equipment, offices and people.
- Die cast and injection molding machines: The 9 to 26 Series supports anchorless installation.
- Machine tools and inspection equipment: Shield precision machines from floor vibration.
- Container, textile and woodworking equipment: Machines weighing from 50 kg to 2.2 million kg.
How to Choose the Right Vibro/Dynamics Isolator
- Know the machine type, total weight and number of mounting points.
- Describe the forces: press speed and tonnage, or how much unbalanced force the machine produces.
- Decide the goal: keep vibration from leaving the machine, keep it out, or both.
- Choose a leveling method: screw, wedge or hydraulic-jack (MX) for large presses.
- Check the floor and foundation, and whether anchoring is required.
- Note the foot size and bolt hole details of the machine base.
Why Vibro/Dynamics Isolators Are Trusted
