Expertise

Vibration isolation

Scope

Measurements, engineering and supply

Pumps, compressors and HVAC equipment were isolated from the building structure to reduce vibration and noise in the surrounding spaces.

The project

Growing production, rising vibration levels

New equipment in an existing production hall caused vibration and low-frequency humming in adjacent offices. Rubber Design was asked to measure the situation and propose a solution.

The challenge

Isolation without changing the installation

The equipment had to stay in place and remain fully accessible for maintenance.

  • Isolate low disturbing frequencies
  • Keep connected pipework flexible
  • No changes to the foundation

Our solution

Steel spring isolators and flexible connections

Based on vibration measurements, steel spring isolators with a low natural frequency were selected, combined with rubber bellows in the connected pipework.
