Inertia Bases

Inertia Base and mount packages are used beneath mechanical equipments to improve stability and to minimise the vibratory movement and noise transmission due to equipment start-up,operation and run-down.They are designed and manufactured to meet with individual requirements and are suitable for mechanical equipments.

Inertia Bases

Description

Inertia Base should be used where the machine to be vibration isolated produces large unbalanced forces which would result in excessive motion if supported directly on spring or rubber based isolators. They should also be used where the machine is subject to external forces or is inherently unstable.

AKINCO Inertia come in several standard sizes as listed in our catalogue. However, these can also manufactured to any size and specifications, even for heavier and more complex vibration isolation problems, where viscous damping may also be required. For frame lengths greater than 2400 mm we would normally recommend 6 isolators or more for exceptionally large bases. The base is to be filled with concrete having a mass of between 2300 and 2700Kg / M³
