Anti-vibration mounts or Silent bloc is a term that refers to a piece of rubber that is used as a suspension and isolation element in mechanical systems. These rubber parts are designed to absorb vibrations and reduce noise generated by the movement of mechanical components.
Silent blocks are commonly used in vehicle suspension, as part of the engine suspension system, to reduce vibration and noise. They are also used in other mechanical systems, such as the suspension of construction equipment, heavy machinery, and power transmission systems.
Most silent blocks are made of rubber and consist of an outer casing and a metal core that clips through the casing. Silent blocks can be designed to be completely rigid or have some flexibility in the rubber to allow a certain degree of movement.
There is a wide variety of models, which satisfy most of the required applications. We can have both male and female threads for its support and we have a model for each type of load or weight that it must support. Anti-vibration mounts can be made of different materials such as rubber, neoprene, polyurethane, steel, among others. The choice of material will depend on the working conditions and the type of vibration isolated.
Anti-vibration mounts are used in various applications, such as heavy machinery, compressors, pumps, motors, refrigeration equipment, ventilation systems, among others. Its use helps protect machinery and the structure that surrounds it, reducing noise and vibration levels and improving the quality of the work environment.
In summary, silent blocks are rubber elements used in mechanical systems to absorb vibrations and reduce the noise generated by the movement of mechanical components.
