Calculation of vibration dampers
Vibration problems solved online
With the help of the ACE online tool, a company was able to effectively decouple its bowl feeders, which it uses for sorting, conveying and supplying in medical technology, from vibrations.
A recent case from the field of automation: In the medical technology sector, a customer uses a bowl feeder for pre-sorting, organizing, conveying and supplying parts. During operation, vibrations occur that lead to an unpleasant humming sound. This is due to vibrations caused by the bowl feeder, which are transmitted to an aluminum frame in which it is mounted. After a brief internet search, the customer was able to help himself very quickly online when he found an online tool for calculating vibration dampers on the ACE shock absorber homepage under the menu item 'Calculations'.
After entering some key data such as the existing mass of 212 kilograms, an excitation frequency of 100 Hertz and the support points, the user of the bowl feeder was able to find the right solution in just a few minutes. In this case, four vibration isolators of the type Hard Bell Mounts CM-VSC2-10-M10 exceed the customer's desired vibration isolation of 90 percent and reliably decouple the vibration source. These machine elements are also the means of choice when the going gets tough. This is primarily due to their tear-resistant design. For extreme temperatures, silicone can also be used instead of the standard damping material neoprene or natural rubber.
ACE also has other calculation programs available online. For example, shock absorbers, gas springs and safety products can be configured quickly and easily and ordered via the eShop. as
