Bilz Insulating Plates are extraordinarily effective for the suppression of vibration in foundations and baseplates
The function of a foundation is primarily to provide a rigid base for a machine but also to increase the moment of inertia. The foundation thus benefits the vibration behavior of the machine in that it reduces the vibration amplitude. Still, the common misapprehension that a foundation just has to be big enough to prevent all vibration problems is just plain wrong.
In most cases it is helpful to take as many measurements as possible of the machine and its future location. A vibration analysis on-site is a requirement for optimal vibration-related calibration. The isolation and separation of the machine and foundation from the ground guarantees that the machine can be operated without disturbance. We have been collecting experience in this special area for many years and will be happy to undertake all the work related to vibration analysis, planning and design for you.
Structure of Isolated Foundations:
1 Foundation (side wall)
