What you need to know about the installation of vibration isolation?

Before you start the process of vibration isolation, you should be aware that improper cutting of material, a large number of joints, improper distribution of loads are exactly the factors that reduce the effectiveness of vibration isolation work and lead to the fact that the service life of materials is reduced. If you turn to non-professionals, then there is a risk that they may make such mistakes, since they do not know the simple principles for installing vibration isolation materials.

The installation of certain types of materials has its own requirements, which are important to comply with in order to achieve the desired result, and to effectively use the material. For example, if you choose elastic damping elastomer materials, then you should be aware that in order to use them, you need not only prepare the surface, but also comply with all conditions for laying the material. This is due to the fact that they fit snugly to the base and face heavy loads, which can cause damage. Therefore, in order to carry out the laying of supports made of elastic materials, all surfaces must be smooth and clean, without any significant defects.

If you have a concrete base, then you will need to rough level or grout. But, paying attention to the strength of such materials, it is possible to imperfectly process the surface. Depending on what material you choose, the requirements will also depend. The most picky about the quality of the base will be thin supports that have a thickness of less than 8 mm, so when using them, you need to properly prepare. If the material has a thickness of 8 mm to 25 mm, then irregularities that do not exceed 3 mm are allowed. In the event that you use supports that have a thickness of more than 25 mm, then unevenness of up to 5 mm is allowed. Therefore, if you want to achieve the desired result, then you need to clearly follow all the rules.

By choosing quality elastomeric bearings, you will be able to lay them on a compacted gravel and concrete base without any special preparation. During installation, it is necessary to make sure that the maximum fit and adjustment of the supports to the base along their entire plane is obtained. It can be difficult to cope with such a task on your own, therefore, it is best to immediately contact specialists who can help you in resolving this issue.
