The A10Z40-1260AA2 is a vibration isolator with a diamond-shaped base plate, 2.98 inches long and 2.25 inches in diameter, featuring two mounting holes. It uses natural rubber as the isolator material and a steel or aluminum base. The part is rated for a maximum static load of 12 lbf, with a deflection up to 0.25 inch as shown in the load/deflection graph. It provides 81% isolation at minimum loads of 12 lbf when subjected to forcing frequencies up to 1100 cycles per minute. The isolator is part of the A10Z40-1260 series, which includes variants with different load ratings identified by AA, BB, CC, DD, and DK suffixes.
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.
