Vibration damping

The effects of vibration damping

Vibration conditions: Dampening with rubber differs significantly from e.g. viscous dampening.

In the frequency range 10-200 Hz, the shape of the force/movement diagram (the dampening ellipse) is constant, and independent of the excitation frequency.

Safety and working environment with effective noise reduction

  • The handovers from one carrier to another entail a risk of waste and often noise.
  • Hyecon can help improving your working environment with noise reduction
  • Instead of stainless steel, we use monolithic FDA approved PU material to form funnels and other transitions.
  • The advantages are easy cleaning and a significant noise reduction that improves the working environment
  • Our engineers design and produce according to your requirements

Vibration dampening is required wherever resonance is generated, or where the effects of shocks need to be rapidly weakened. Vibration insulation should not be confused with vibration dampening. Efficient vibration insulation can only be achieved with a corresponding frequency adjustment.

 

Dampening factor

The dampening factor is, in connection with rubber, frequency dependent, and moves towards zero with an increasing frequency.

This means that when it comes to very small movements, the dampening effect of the rubber is insignificant, and is unlikely to influence insulation effects.

On the other hand, for viscous dampening, the dampening effect increases with an increasing frequency, which leads to a deterioration of the insulation effect.

 

Rubber elements

Rubber springs are ideal as vibration and noise silencers.
The vulcanised rubber elements have a bond strength between metal and rubber of 130 kp/cm².
