Technology
With a relatively hard machine support or mounting, theamplitude of the installed equipment is minimal, but theresulting isolation efficiency is much less than with a moreresilient mounting. Although technically the isolation effi-ciency of a soft mounting is very high, it impairs themachine stability and can lead to uncontrolled operation ofthe installation (example: distorted frames on productionmachines). Hence, for the machine type in question, an idealcompromise must be sought between the level of the isolationefficiency and permissible spring deflection. As a generalrule the mountings of machine tools, machining centers etc.should be hard whilst those for equipment such as com-pressors, generators and pumps etc. should be relatively
soft. Rubber as an elastic medium is probably the mostuniversal material used for vibrational damping.
Steel spring(no self-damping)
TimeRubber spring
(self-damping)
Its special properties render it particularly suitable for dam-ping and springing elements. Rubber elements can acceptconsiderable overloads for a short time without suffering anydamage. In contrast to steel springs, under dynamic loading,rubber elements convert the energy absorbed into heat byinternal molecular friction.This process known as damping is continuous and it isalways required whenever resonance can occur or shockshave to be reduced quickly.
Two basically different types of rubber loading were madeuse of in the design of ROSTA anti-vibration mountings: pure tensile or pressure loading for the anti-vibration
mountings of the types V, ISOCOL and N. These relativelysimple elements cover the medium natural frequency bandbetween 15 and 30 Hz.
loading via lever of pretensioned rubber elements bytorsional or flexing motion of the ROSTA rubber suspens-ion units in so-called spring dampers. This system allowsthe construction of anti-vibration mountings in the lowfrequency range between 2 and 10 Hz. These are typesESL and AB.
The following survey of the entire product range shows theadvantages and applications of the various types. For com-plex applications and in the case of queries, do not hesitate

Isolation of Vibrationsand Solid-borne Noise
There are basically three different forms of vibration, asshown in fig. 1.The overcritical type of mounting is used for isolating vib-rations and tremors, while for isolating shocks the sub-critical type of mounting is generally employed.
Overcritical:Interfering frequency (machine)
= > 1
Subcritical: Interfering frequency (machine) = < 1
Mechanical Vibrations
The basic principle of vibration isolation technique is toisolate the source of interference, or the object to be pro-tected, from its surroundings. This is achieved by suitablefrequency adaption the higher the frequency ratio, thehigher the degree of isolation. See fig. 2.
Absorptionof Solid-borne NoiseWhile interference forces are isolated on the basis ofvibrational theory, the isolation of sound transmissionthrough solid-borne bodies is governed by the laws of wavemechanics. The isolation efficiency depends on the acousticstiffness of the contacting materials between machine andstructure. The table in fig. 3 shows the absorption efficiencyof some material. A steel rubber compound normally offers ahighly efficient isolation of the solid-borne noise.
Damping
In the ROSTA type mounts is damping a function of the in-ternal molecular friction in the rubber material during oscil-lation and vibration. The resulting energy loss is convertedinto heat during the vibration process. The area (fig.4)between the loading and unloading curves corresponds tothe energy loss or damping in the ROSTA elements.In practice, the damping characteristic becomes importantwhen the vibrations of an elastically supported machine ispassing through the resonance field and an oscillationcould build up. The natural isolation properties of theROSTA anti-vibration mountings limit this build-up to aminimum due to the high energy loss. Vibrations areabsorbed as soon as they occur.The amplitude/time characteristic demonstrates the highefficiency of the rubber damping material.

Natural Frequencyof the Vibration Damper
Even simple applications require some elementary know-ledge of vibration isolation. An important factor in thisconnection is the natural frequency of the damper which ismeasured in rpm or Hz, i.e. the number of oscillations perminute or second which lead to resonance excitation.The natural frequency n
eis a function of the spring travel s
(in.) under a load G (lbs.) and can be calculated from theformula given in fig. 6.
Natural Frequency with Parabolic SpringCharacteristic
It is only with vibration dampers comprising steel springs thatthe dampers natural frequency can be derived directly fromthe measured spring travel according to the formula in fig. 6.Steel springs have a linear characteristic and hence a springconstant. But they have no damping and are only suitable forpure swing mountings.
All other damping materials such as rubber, cork etc., aredeformed under load and the effective measured springtravel is greater than the actual resulting natural frequency.Rubber springs have a slightly parabolic characteristic andthe natural frequency resulting from the applied load istherefore essentially higher than the calculated value inconformity with the spring travel (fig. 7: s
1determines the
frequency). The following catalogue frequency values aremeasured and derived from the s
1spring travel.
Hence the natural frequency values must lie outside theresonance field. An undesirable build-up of vibrations islikely to occur wherever the exciting frequency n
errand
natural frequency neare the same.

Cold Flow
During the course of time, all elastic materials deform moreor less permanently under load, which becomes apparentby a slight increase in deflection and cold flow. This coldflow exhibits a linear characteristic on a logarithmic timebase. The diagram in fig. 9 shows that more than half ofthe total cold flow occurring in one year has taken placeafter loading for one day. The max. setting of ROSTA anti-vibration mountings is approx. +10% of the nominalspring travel according to the catalogue.

Active and Passive IsolationIn practice, elastic intermediate supports or mountings are in-stalled for two different reasons:
Practical ConsiderationsThe use vibration damping machine mountings and supportspermits continuously flexible installation of a machine line.Conventional floor anchorages can be almost totally dispen-sed with and the machines rapidly and simply converted tonew production sequences. Furthermore, the normally stan-dard integrated levelling facilities are a simple way to com-pensate for uneven floor surfaces.
Protective ConsiderationsPersonnel, environment, building structure and the machinesthemselves are efficiently protected by the vibrationcompensating machine supports. Vibrations and shocksare considerably reduced and the working environmentimproved.
Active or direct isolation signifies the damping of thevibrations and shocks from an operating machine, i.e. to pre-vent vibrations being transferred to foundation, adjacentrooms, building etc. To be taken into account in each casehere are the interfering frequency, the machine structure and
its site. This is the most frequent type of vibration isolationand occurs in almost all factories or households.
Passive or indirect isolation signifies the shieldingof sensitive equipment such as weighing and measuring in-struments, laboratory appliances etc. from vibrationsand shocks. Here the technical requirements can be highlydependent on the environment since interference is often ex-ternal in origin; from the street, railways or large buildingsites. The assistance of the specialist engineer is frequentlynecessary to define this spectrum.
Defining the Supporting
Forcesa) Position of ROSTA anti-vibration mountingson/under the machine frame
Install all elements so that the loading or spring travel isuniform. Whenever as so often in practise asymmetriccenter of gravity circumstances and hence differing loadsand spring travels are encountered, the supporting forcescan be determined according to fig. 12. In such cases, dif-ferences in spring travel are to be equalized with the aid ofspacer plates.
