Generator vibration isolators

Generator vibration isolators of the generator is a piece of equipment used to isolate the equipment from the source of vibration. The generator creates forces that are feedback within the generator. In many situations vibrations are undesirable. Vibrations that occur and propagate in waves are transmitted by touch or a specific connection.

Different systems are used to prevent the transmission of excessive vibrations or the transmission of vibrations to other components in the environment. These systems are usually passive, which means that they are installed under or around the generator, dampening vibration with passive techniques. After installation, they regulate its vibration release during each operation of the generator.

There are different types of these insulators. Air insulators consist of compressed air placed in rubber tanks. Thus, air serves as a spring that acts as a vibration insulator. However, if the vibration is too low, such an insulator can interfere with the operation of the generator. Rubber insulators and neoprene insulators are used as a generator backing, or as insulation of certain components. It provides 90% efficiency when it comes to insulation. Spring or wire insulators are suitable for all types of appliances and machines. They are especially desirable if the generator on which it is installed is located on the unit itself. However, rubber insulators do not have as much load capacity as spring insulators. However, they are ideal for lower generator masses because they have great resistance and durability.

In order to determine how many and which generator vibration isolators you need to choose, it is necessary to determine a load of each insulator separately. This load is related to the weight of the generator and the number of insulator units to be installed.
