Anti Vibration Mounts and Their Uses

Anti-vibration mounts provide excellent shock absorption and vibration damping properties. Parts of equipment and machinery subject to noise, shock and vibration can suffer extreme damage, which affects their useful life, efficiency and safety. This can often lead to more frequent repairs and replacements, increasing costs for the company or the individual. With this in mind, it is not surprising that Rubber mounts are so widely used; Its presence can be found in industries ranging from the defense sector to renewable energy and energy generation.


As regulations become more stringent, the demand for high quality, durable and effective anti-vibration mounts continues to increase.

How many types of anti-vibration mounts and their use in industry?

By using the correct type of assembly, you can increase the life of the machinery while reducing the adverse effects of vibration, noise and shock. GMT designs, manufactures and supplies a wide variety of specialized assemblies, offering both stock and custom solutions for a multitude of industrial applications:

Vibration isolators Insulation assemblies

Our selection of insulators has two main uses: they can reduce any noise transmitted outwards from the machine (active) or reduce the amount of vibrations that travel to the machine from an external source, such as its foundations (passive).

Vibration isolators can be found in many areas, such as machinery for the food and pharmaceutical industry. Specific examples of use include heating and ventilation equipment, fans and power generators.

Rubber frames Rubber frames

Unlike vibration isolators, rubber mounts can provide protection against vibration and shock in three separate directions. They also provide high levels of resistance to grease and oil, which makes them a popular choice in both the automotive and marine industries. In both engines and generators Rubber mounts are found.

Steel cable assemblies Example of our anti-vibration mounts

Corrosion resistant and completely made of stainless steel, our specialized selection of cable supports is designed to withstand the toughest environments. They isolate the shocks and vibrations of all directions and offer a maintenance-free solution for the most demanding tasks.


This resistance makes our range of cable supports ideal for military use, certified according to MIL-STD-167 standards for vibration, MIL-STD-810 for environmental conditions and MIL-S-901 for shock. They can be found in rough terrain vehicles, airplanes and aircraft carriers.

Conical Mounts Selection of Conical Mounts

Conical mounts are also known as rubber cone mounts. With the correct washers, these supports are suitable for both compression and cutting loads. With a fail-safe capacity and high load capacity, they are designed to adapt to mobile applications for the automotive, commercial and marine vehicle industries.

Machine feet Anti-vibration mounts and their uses - Machine foot

Machine legs work to reduce vibrations while damping shock loads. With the bounce control option and a variety of rubber hardness options to suit each application, it is not difficult to see why machine feet are used so widely in industries such as renewable energy, power generation and Agriculture and forestry. Common applications include marine assemblies, motor assemblies and generator assemblies.

what Are Rubber Bellows?

Image
We are pioneers in the industry in the design and delivery of rubber expansion joints, which are widely used in the oil and chemical industry to connect expansion pipes. These joints solve the expected problem. They reduce vibrations, damping stresses and noise in the pipe system and withstand high temperatures and pressures. Available in a variety of nitrile, neoprene, synthetic, EPDM and natural rubber materials. Minimum diameter: 80 mm and up to 1500 mm. FEATURES: Low spring rates Greater movement by the arc. Dimensionally accurate It isolates the vibration Compensates for the difference RANGE: Wide bow reel Multy arch, wide arch, metallic flange type Bellows Pressure Sensors Working Principle Animation The bellows are a seamless, folding, one-piece metal unit with deep wrinkles and very thin-walled tubes. The bellows maybe 0.5 to 12 inches in diameter. Up to 24 folds. The system or line pressure is applied to the internal volume of the accordion. As ...

HOW OFTEN DOES YOUR OIL FILTER NEED TO BE REPLACED?

Image
Oil is essential for the smooth lubrication of your engine. And your oil filter plays a vital role in ensuring your oil can do this. An oil filter protects your engine from potential damage by removing the contaminants (dirt, oxidized oil, metallic particles, etc.) that can accumulate in the motor oil due to engine wear. See our earlier blog about the potential damage a clogged or damaged oil filter can cause. You can help extend the life and effectiveness of your oil filter using a high-end synthetic oil. Synthetic motor oil is more refined and distilled than normal oil, so it will last longer and is less likely to clogged the filter. How often do you need to change your oil filter? You must replace your oil filter every time you make an oil change. Typically, that means every 10,000km for a petrol bike.  However, we recommend that you check your manufacturer’s handbook to confirm the specific service interval for your vehicle. There are several reasons for this: T...
