An anti-vibration mount (also called a vibration isolator, rubber isolator mount, or anti-vibration isolator) is a bonded rubber-to-metal component designed to reduce vibration, shock, and noise transmission between two connected structures. In heavy equipment applications, anti-vibration mounts are used primarily to isolate diesel engines from the machine chassis or baseframe, preventing fatigue damage, reducing operator discomfort, and protecting sensitive electronic and hydraulic components.
Key applications for anti-vibration mounts include:
| Type | Geometry | Application | Load Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandwich Mount | Flat rubber layer between steel plates | Engine mounts, generator sets | 500–5,000 kg |
| Conical / Bobbin | Cylindrical rubber with central bolt | Electronic enclosures, HVAC | 5–500 kg |
| Cylindrical Isolator | Hollow rubber cylinder | Pump, compressor isolation | 50–2,000 kg |
| Chevron Spring | V-shaped rubber-metal laminate | Railway bogie primary suspension | 1,000–15,000 kg |
| Block Mount | Solid rubber block with inserts | Large diesel engines, mining | 1,000–10,000 kg |
Selecting the correct anti-vibration mount requires matching four key parameters to your application:
See our detailed Engine Cushion Selection Guide for full technical parameter guidance.
We supply anti-vibration mounts to construction contractors, equipment rental companies, generator set manufacturers, and industrial process plant operators across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Standard stock items dispatch within 3–5 business days from our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility. Custom designs (non-standard hardness, alternative compounds, modified dimensions) are available with a 2–4 week lead time.
