Anti-Vibration Mounts & Buffers

Anti-vibration buffers are known for their ability to prevent internal vibrations and their shock absorbing qualities provide enhanced progressive absorption. Occasionally they can be used as feet preventing surface vibrations, helping to protect equipment from damage. Anti-vibration buffers are commonly used in applications that include pump applications, agriculture and general industrial machinery. Sandwich mounts consist of a rubber section that is sandwiched between two plates of metal. These mountings are stocked with stud fixings and can be loaded directly in compression or shear, or if required, a combination of both. Many names are given to sandwich mounts such as rectangular mounts. Applications include generator sets, machinery, engine mountings and heavy plant machinery. KPR Damping Mounts are flange mounted, and are designed to take vertical loads applied in both shear and compression, to provide maximum isolation given by vibrating equipment and machinery. They are suitable for many types of application and are corrosion protected to cope with hostile environments. Common applications that require the use of KPR damping mounts are static and mobile generator sets, marine engines and gearboxes, compressors and pumps to name a few.
