The A10Z 2-301A is a vibration isolator designed to handle compression loads ranging from 8 to 25 lbf and shear loads from 4.4 to 12.5 lbf. It is constructed with a hardened steel fastener that is zinc plated for durability, and the isolator is made from natural rubber, providing effective vibration dampening. This product is capable of achieving 81% isolation at specified minimum loads, which vary depending on the forcing frequency in cycles per minute (CPM). For instance, at 2.2 lbf, it can isolate at a frequency of 48 CPM, while at higher loads, such as 11.2 lbf, it can isolate at 12 CPM. The maximum unthreaded portion of the stud does not exceed 1/16 inch, ensuring compatibility with various mounting applications. Engineers considering this product should evaluate their specific load requirements and operating conditions to determine if the A10Z 2-301A meets their vibration isolation needs.
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.
