Vibration-isolated installation of industrial machinery

By Dr.-Ing. Georg Enß, Division Manager Industrial Machinery, VICODA GmbH5. February 2018

Machines in industrial environments – such as presses, diesel generators, blowers etc. – often cause and/or emit vibrations and structure-borne noise in their environment. These vibrations are often annoying or harmful to the health of people who live or work nearby. In addition, vibrations affect the functioning of sensitive machines such as measuring machines...

When trains pass by, the moving load, the roughness of the wheels and rails as well as local variations in the strength of the track system cause vibrations and structure-borne noise. High-frequency effects are primarily caused by interactions between the vehicle and the track (lack of roundness of the wheels, corrugations, defects in track geometry, slip waves etc.) ...
