The A10Z40-1240BB is a plate-mounted vibration isolator designed for static loads of 42 lbf, with performance data provided for forcing frequencies up to 4000 cycles per minute. It features a natural rubber isolator and a steel base with zinc plating, and includes a 1/4-20 UNC tapped hole for mounting. The isolator achieves 81% vibration isolation at a minimum load of 34 lbf at 1750 CPM. Its maximum recommended static deflection is 1.13 inches under 42 lbf and 1.44 inches under 135 lbf, as shown in the load/deflection graph.
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.
