Vibration isolation

Passive isolation: Passive vibration isolation systems consist essentially of a mass,

spring and damper

Active isolation : Active vibration isolation systems contain, along with the spring, a
feedback circuit which consists of a piezoelectric accelerometer, a controller, and an
electromagnetic transducer. The acceleration (vibration) signal is processed by a control
circuit and amplifier. Then it feeds the electromagnetic actuator, which amplifies the signal.
As a result of such a feedback system, a considerably stronger suppression of vibrations is
achieved compared to ordinary damping.

Vibration- isolating device for reflection and absorption of waves of oscillatory

energy, extending from the working gear or electrical equipment, with the aid of
effect of vibration insulation. Vibration-isolator is established between a body
transferring fluctuations and a body which defend (for example, between the gear and
the foundation)

Kind of isolators:

• Vibration isolation bushings : This component lies between shafts and the
housing to decrease the space between them to decrease the vibration

• vibration isolation hanger : This component used to clamp two other

component

• vibration isolation mounts : This component used to isolate the

vibrated body from the surrounded area
