Anti-vibration mounts, also known as AV mounts or rubber mounts, are devices that reduce or eliminate vibrations and noise from machinery and equipment. They are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, industrial, and marine, to prevent damage to equipment and structures, reduce noise pollution, and create a more comfortable environment. 

Here are some things to know about anti-vibration mounts: 

• How they work

  Anti-vibration mounts isolate equipment from surrounding structures by reducing the transmission of vibrations. They are typically made of a resilient material, like rubber, bonded to a metal or plastic plate. The plate is then attached to the equipment and mounting surface with bolts or screws. 

• What they are used for

  Anti-vibration mounts are used in a wide range of buildings and industries, including commercial and domestic high-rise buildings, entertainment venues, industrial facilities, and power plants. 

• How to choose the right mounts

  When choosing anti-vibration mounts, you should consider the weight allocation for each mounting. The machinery's weight might not be uniformly distributed, so you should check the center of gravity to ensure an even load distribution. 

• Materials

  Anti-vibration mounts are primarily made from natural rubber, but synthetic materials are also available to resist oil, fuel, and environmental factors.
