Installing anti-vibration mounts on an eccentric press can help improve machine stability, reduce transmitted vibration and support more reliable operation.
In this episode of Dear Marc, the focus is on selecting the right mounting solution for a press without an existing vibration isolation system.
Assess Machine Weight and Dynamics
The first step is to understand:
- Total machine weight
- Dynamic forces during operation
- Number and position of support points
- Existing mounting-hole arrangement
These factors help determine the required load capacity and vibration isolation performance.
Select the Right Levelling Wedge
The wedge must be selected according to the machine load and support configuration.
Correct sizing ensures that the machine is properly supported while helping control vibration.
Choose the Appropriate Isolation Material
Bilz materials such as B5 and B32 offer different load-bearing and damping characteristics.
The correct material depends on the machine weight, operating conditions and vibration behaviour.
Key Benefits
A suitable anti-vibration mounting system can help provide:
- Improved machine stability
- Better process accuracy
- Reduced vibration transmission
- Lower component wear
- Improved long-term reliability
Get the Right Solution
Every eccentric press has different operating and installation requirements.
Bilz can help determine the appropriate levelling wedge and isolation material based on machine weight, dynamic forces and mounting conditions.
