VIBRO MOUNT FLOATING FLOOR NEOPRENE MOUNT

The Vibro Mount Model VMD delivers superior vibration isolation for suspended mechanical equipment, pipework, and ductwork installations. This engineered mounting system stops vibration transmission at the source, protecting building structures and occupants from disruptive mechanical noise.

Each VMD mount features a precision elastomer in shear insert with colour coded identification for easy load verification. Steel load caps with extended sleeves distribute forces evenly through the stamped transfer cap, ensuring stable support throughout the service life. This robust construction maintains alignment and performance even under continuous dynamic loading.

The shear configuration sets VMD mounts apart from traditional compression designs. Operating the elastomer in shear rather than compression allows significantly higher working strain before material degradation occurs. This fundamental design advantage extends service life while delivering consistent isolation performance. The elastomer experiences less fatigue stress cycle after cycle, maintaining its damping characteristics far longer than compression loaded alternatives.

Installation simplicity accelerates project timelines. The complete assembly arrives ready to install with no field adjustment required. Threaded connections accommodate standard hanger rods, integrating seamlessly into suspended systems. Colour coded inserts eliminate confusion during installation, ensuring correct load capacity selection throughout the system.

VMD mounts excel in applications where budget constraints demand cost effective solutions without performance compromise. Light mechanical equipment including HVAC components, pump assemblies, fan units, and distribution systems all benefit from the vibration isolation these mounts provide. The system prevents structure borne noise transmission that turns entire buildings into resonating surfaces broadcasting mechanical sounds throughout occupied spaces.

The elastomer in shear principle provides inherent advantages across the operating envelope. Natural frequency remains stable across the load range, delivering predictable isolation performance. Temperature variations affect performance minimally compared to compression designs. The shear configuration resists side loading better, maintaining position accuracy even when equipment experiences operational forces beyond pure vertical loading.

Durability comes from engineering fundamentals rather than exotic materials. The steel components resist corrosion in typical building environments. Elastomer compounds withstand normal temperature ranges without hardening or softening. Regular maintenance requirements remain minimal since the design eliminates adjustment mechanisms that drift or require periodic correction.

System designers appreciate the load range flexibility VMD mounts offer. Multiple elastomer stiffnesses cover equipment from light ductwork to substantial mechanical assemblies. Selecting appropriate mounts for each application point optimises isolation across entire suspended systems rather than forcing compromise through limited product offerings.

VMD mounts prove their value through reliable long term performance. Projects completed on aggressive budgets achieve professional isolation results that satisfy acoustic consultants and building occupants alike. The mounts continue performing year after year, maintaining the quiet environment that defines quality construction.
