The A10Z 2-302A is a vibration isolator designed to handle compression loads ranging from 4.9 to 13.3 lbf and shear loads from 2.7 to 6.4 lbf. It is constructed with a steel fastener that is zinc plated and features a natural rubber isolator. The 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 1 CPM, a minimum load of 1.2 lbf is required for 81% isolation, while at higher frequencies, the required loads increase accordingly. The maximum unthreaded portion of the stud does not exceed 1/16 inch, which may be relevant for installation considerations. This product is suitable for applications where vibration control is critical, such as in HVAC systems and sensitive equipment.
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.
