Anti Vibration

Our anti vibration buffers, anti vibration mounts and anti vibration turret mounts are constructed from high quality natural rubber. These are available in varying shore hardnesses to allow the user to select the appropriate stiffness for the load required by their application. Our anti vibration hanger mounts combine natural rubber with a zinc plated steel frame, offering durability at a great value price point.

The most common products used to reduce vibration are buffers, mounts, turret mounts and hanger mounts. Within these product categories there are also different styles available. Anti vibration buffers come in flat, tapered or conical shapes and anti vibration mount styles differ depending on the type of threading required. E.g. Male to male, female to female or male to female. We also stock a selection of washers and anti vibration pads that may be suitable for reducing vibration in smaller and lighter objects.

Generally speaking mounts have fixings on both ends and are used as joiners, whereas buffers only have a fixing on one end and the other side is used as a foot. As buffers are designed to be used as feet they will usually have a higher weight rating. However, it can be confusing because anti vibration mounts can also be used as feet for machinery. The crucial difference being that mounts have a threaded fixing on both sides, and a buffer only has one.

The advantage of using these products is that they are proven to reduce the vibrations generated by machinery and equipment. This is useful because it reduces operational noise. In many cases, it also increases the accuracy, efficiency and performance of the machine. Most crucially, reducing excess vibrations can increase the durability and therefore lifespan of the equipment. In industries that utilise large and expensive machinery this can translate to huge cost savings over time, resulting from reduced maintenance costs and downtime.

This can vary significantly and is generally determined by the size of the buffer and the shore hardness of the rubber that it is constructed from. All of our buffer products will have a "Weight Rating" attribute clearly defined on their product page. Please ensure that you select a buffer with a weight rating that is higher than the weight rating of the equipment that it will be supporting.

To install simply screw your male threaded buffer into a female threaded fixing on the bottom of the machine, or screw a female buffer onto a male threaded fixing on the bottom of the machine. Just be sure to buy a buffer with the same thread size as the equipment it will be attached to. We supply anti vibration buffers that fit all of the most popular thread sizes, including: M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M14 and M16.

Anti vibration turret mounts are a specialised form of anti vibration mount that are commonly attached to the base of air conditioning equipment and used as feet. They are used to reduce the vibrations caused during the operation of HVAC units and pumps, fans and air compressors. They have good deflection properties, which makes them effective at dispersing vibrations. We also supply a range of turret mount sizing to suit both light units and heavier units up to 500kg in weight.

Anti vibration buffers might also be known as rubber bump stops, rubber buffers or vibration dampers. Some customers also call anti vibration mounts - shock mounts, rubber bobbins or vibration damping. Anti vibration turret mounts could be described as vibration isolators for HVAC, air conditioning anti vibration mounts, or flanged rubber mounts. Finally, anti vibration hanger mounts are the same product as anti vibration ceiling hangers.

We know it can be difficult to select the right anti vibration product for your project, so we've put together a guide to anti vibration product selection based on the load per mounting and deflection required. However, sometimes you might wonder if a buffer or a mount is the better choice for your project, or if a turret mount would work better than a buffer.
