Rubber vibration dampers play a crucial role in absorbing and reducing vibrations generated during equipment operation, protecting equipment from damage and extending its service life.
With a wide range of rubber vibration damper products available on the market, this article provides a selection guide to help you avoid three common mistakes.
Mistake 1: Ignoring the performance parameters and dynamic and static performance of vibration dampers
When selecting vibration dampers, it is essential to understand the operating environment and working conditions of the equipment. Based on these conditions, you should choose vibration dampers that meet the equipment’s specific requirements. For example, parameters such as load-bearing capacity, hardness, resilience, high and low-temperature performance, impact resistance, and compatibility with potential media must match the equipment’s needs. Additionally, the dynamic and static performance of vibration dampers should be considered, including dynamic stiffness curves and fatigue test results. Ignoring these parameters may result in ineffective vibration reduction and even accelerate equipment wear and damage.
Mistake 2: Neglecting the quality and durability of vibration dampers
It is important to understand the materials and manufacturing processes of vibration dampers and to test their performance under rated impact forces, such as the frequency of withstanding impact at high and low temperatures, resilience, and aging resistance. This ensures that the dampers can withstand long-term use and harsh working environments. Overemphasis on low price may lead to negative consequences; therefore, cost-effectiveness rather than solely price should be prioritized.
Mistake 3: Neglecting the installation and maintenance of vibration dampers
Proper and compatible installation methods can extend the service life of vibration dampers. Regular maintenance and inspection of vibration dampers are also necessary, and damaged or aged dampers should be replaced promptly. Neglecting the installation and maintenance of vibration dampers may prevent them from functioning properly and even cause damage to the equipment.
