Vibration technology

Vibration technology
Machines in motion generate mechanical vibrations that can have a harmful effect on humans and machinery. Different rubber-metal components ensure vibrations from machines are damped, isolate machine vibrations and prevent excessive noise at the workplace. Werthenbach's premium suppliers such as Freudenberg and Weforma offer numerous products to address this issue.

Barrel roller bearings
Barrel roller bearings
The outstanding properties of barrel roller bearings are their vertical bearing capacity and the capacity of insulation of small amplitude vibrations.
Application
Barrel roller bearings may bear masses, which undergo small vibration amplitudes after the respective spring deflection or excite them by themselves. These bearing elements are suitable for selected motors, compressors, aggregates, assembly facilities but also for heavy control cabinets, feedback control installations, fixed control stations, measuring systems.
Manufacturer
Conical mounts
Conical mounts
Conical mounts damp vertical vibrations, insulate to protect against structure-borne sound and may absorb big horizontal forces (e. g. brake forces) at the same time.
Application
The conical mounts is particularly suited for being used as an elastic connection element for the bearing of motors, aggregates and superstructures, as for the fixed operation as in vehicles and ships.
Manufacturer
Double U mounts
Double U mounts
Double U mounts are particularly suitable for insulation works. The outstanding properties of these mounts are a particularly simple structure and the very easy assembly.
Application
Double U mounts are particularly suitable for bearing instruments, aggregates, pumps, condensers and compressors. They are appropriate for the removal of ventilation channels, because they also may compensate structure-borne sound insulation apart from the thermal extension.
Manufacturer
Elastomer springs
Elastomer springs
Elastomer springs are suitable for the springing of moved masses as well as for the insulation of vibration exciters.
Manufacturer
Flat mounts
Flat mounts
Flat mounts are bearing elements for the individual use case.
Application
They are used to bear machines, motors or subassemblies in the machinery manufacture or in the vehicle construction.
Manufacturer
Hydro bushes
Hydro bushes
Hydro bushes are Elastomer springs with an integrated hydraulic damping system.
Application
They are suitable to bear internal combustion motors, cabins, pumps and compressors, preponderantly in agriculture and construction machinery.
Manufacturer
Hydro mounts
Hydro mounts
As hydraulic damping Elastomer bearings, hydro mounts resolve the conflict to achieve the objective to bear a mass, which is excited by a wide frequency spectrum. Particularly, if here low frequencies – between 5 Hz and 15 Hz- may be used as exciting frequencies, on the one hand a damping in the natural frequency range of the system is wished, but on the other hand a good insulation property in the range exceeding this natural frequency (divergent bearing) is required.
Application
They are suitable for the bearing of internal combustion motors, cabins, pumps and compressors, preponderantly in the agriculture and construction machinery.
Manufacturer
Instrument mounts
Instrument mounts
These bearings are suitable to protect sensitive instruments and prevent impact load and dynamic excitation.
Application
Instrument mounts are appropriate for vibration insulation of electronic components, measuring instruments and precision mechanical equipment's, instrument panels or electrical panels in the industrial area. It is often required that this bearing protects the instrument or the device from eventual vibrations or impacts, which are initialized via the fixation points. The bearings are suitable for the protection of sensitive instruments from outside impact loads in case of a use of mobile or non mobile instrument bearings.
An other possibility is the insulation to have a protection against structure-borne sound e.g. in small pumps which are fixed to „resonance grounds“ (sheet metals).
Manufacturer
Layered springs
Layered springs
The layered spring is an elastic bearing element. It is suitable for the special decoupling of horizontal vibration excitations. These bearing elements are very rigid in the vertical direction at the same time.
Application
Layered springs are appropriate for the bearing of subassemblies, such as motors or gears.
Manufacturer
Machine bearings
Machine bearings
The installed flat bearings are protected against mechanical damage and the affecting impact of oil through the special shaping of the machine bearing .
Application
Machine bearings are particularly suited to bear heavy machines, compressors, motors etc.. They enable an essential reduction of the vibrations of the machines and aggregates, which pass into the foundation or the surrounding building.
Manufacturer
Metal cushions
Metal cushions
Metal cushions are suitable for the vibration insulation and noise reduction and have elastic properties because of their knit wire meshed shape.
Application
Waste gas systems, electronics, car body, etc.
