Vibration isolators with square mountings for compression loads of 5.1 to 13.8 lbf and shear loads of 1.2 to 2.9 lbf, made with a steel stud zinc plated and natural rubber isolator, feature a #8-32 UNC threaded stud and a maximum unthreaded portion not exceeding 1/16 inch. The A10Z 1-321B variant, classified as load rating B, supports a minimum load of 5.5 lbf for 81% isolation under compression at 2250 cycles per minute, and 2.8 lbf under shear at 1250 cycles per minute. The isolator dimensions are 3/8 inch in diameter and 3/8 inch in height.
Vibration isolators, vibration isolation mounts, and shock isolators all refer to anti-vibration mounts. Largely used in the HVAC industry, they are also used in everyday items such as computers, printers, fans, and home appliances.
Vibration can cause machines to malfunction by shaking sensitive equipment, causing screws and nuts to loosen or even "back out”. Vibration causes damage from friction to surrounding areas and noise pollution throughout factories. Vibration can typically be controlled but not necessarily eliminated. Anti-vibration mounts are a cost-effective way to avoid damage and malfunction due to excessive vibration.
