Guide to Anti-Vibration Mounts from Seal ’n Devices

Unwanted vibration and noise are more than just annoyances. They can shorten equipment life, reduce performance, increase maintenance costs, and compromise safety. That’s why anti-vibration mounts are essential components across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and vehicle applications. By isolating and absorbing vibration, they protect machinery, improve operating conditions, and help systems run smoothly and quietly.

Seal ’n Devices specialises in the manufacture and supply of top-quality anti-vibration mounts designed to remove unwanted vibration and noise. With a strong focus on quality, innovation, and in-house expertise, we deliver reliable solutions that enhance performance and durability, whether you need a standard mount or a fully customised design.

What Are Anti-Vibration Mounts?

Anti-vibration mounts are engineered components that isolate machinery or equipment from vibration, shock, and noise. They work by absorbing and dissipating energy generated during operation, preventing it from transferring to surrounding structures.

Typical benefits include:

  • Reduced noise levels
  • Improved equipment stability
  • Extended service life of machinery
  • Lower maintenance requirements
  • Increased operator comfort and safety

Because vibration characteristics vary widely by application, choosing the right anti-vibration mount is critical to achieving effective isolation.

Why Anti-Vibration Mounts Matter

Protecting Equipment and Structures: Vibration can cause fasteners to loosen, components to fatigue, and structural elements to crack. Anti-vibration mounts protect both machinery and supporting structures from long-term damage.

Improving Performance and Accuracy: In applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and workshop machinery, vibration can reduce efficiency and accuracy. Proper isolation ensures smoother operation and more consistent output.

Reducing Noise and Shock: Noise often travels through structures via vibration. By isolating the source, anti-vibration mounts significantly reduce transmitted noise and absorb shock loads during start-up, shutdown, or impact events.

Our Anti-Vibration Mount Solutions

Seal ’n Devices manufactures and supplies a comprehensive range of anti-vibration mounts to meet diverse industry needs. With thousands of standard options available, our products are designed to reduce noise, shock, and vibration while ensuring equipment stability and longevity.

For applications with unique requirements, we also offer fully customised anti-vibration mounts solutions. All design, development, production, and testing are handled in-house, allowing us to deliver mounts that fit precise application needs, including specialised bump stop designs, shock mount applications, standard anti-vibration mounts, or custom anti-vibration mounts for any industry’s requirement for efficient vibration isolation.

Types of Anti-Vibration Mounts

Our anti-vibration mountings fall into three main categories, each suited to different performance requirements.

1. Rubber Mountings

Rubber anti-vibration mounts are among the most widely used solutions. Manufactured primarily from high-quality natural or synthetic rubber compounds, they provide excellent flexibility and vibration damping or isolation at cost-effective pricing.

Key benefits:

  • High durability
  • Effective vibration and noise reduction
  • Flexible designs for varied loads
  • Economical solution for many applications

Rubber mounts are commonly used in engines, pumps, fans, generators, and general machinery.

2. Spring Mountings

Spring mountings and spring hangers are ideal where high deflection and superior isolation are required. These mounts provide a high degree of noise and vibration control, particularly at lower frequencies where rubber mounts may be less effective.

Key benefits:

  • High deflection capability
  • Excellent isolation performance
  • Suitable for heavy or sensitive equipment

Spring mountings are often used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, large machinery, and installations where structural vibration must be tightly controlled. Spring Mountings are a very cost-effective way of achieving high deflection and vibration isolation.

3. Shock Mountings or Isolators

Shock mounts, including wire rope isolators and specialised rubber mounts, are designed to absorb high loads and shock events. These mounts are commonly used in harsh environments where equipment must withstand sudden impacts or extreme operating conditions.

Key benefits:

  • High load capacity
  • Excellent shock absorption
  • Reliable performance in extreme environments

Applications include military vehicles, naval vessels, aircraft, mining equipment, marine systems, sensitive electronic equipment and transport machinery.

Industries We Serve

FAQs: Anti-Vibration Mounts

What are anti-vibration mounts used for?

Anti-vibration mounts are used to reduce noise, shock, and vibration transmitted from machinery to structures or surrounding equipment.

How do I choose the right anti-vibration mount?

Selection depends on load, vibration frequency, environment, space constraints, and performance requirements. Expert guidance helps ensure optimal isolation.

What materials are anti-vibration mounts made from?

Common materials include natural rubber, neoprene, silicone, nitrile, EPDM, butyl, and Viton, sometimes blended for enhanced performance.

When are spring or shock mounts preferred over rubber mounts?

Spring mounts are ideal for high deflection and low-frequency isolation, while shock mounts are used for high-impact or high-load applications.
