How to protect your Air Compressors with rubber isolate mounts?

05/08/2023

A compressed air setup consists of motors, air compressors, machines running on compressed air, and metal piping that connects these different components.An air compressor provides compressed air to power a variety of machines in an industrial setup. During the operation of air compressors, vibrations of different frequencies are generated, which can damage the piping and other connected structures.   

The harmonics of vibrations produced in the air compressor chamber are different than the harmonics of vibrations produced in the piping carrying the compressed air or the machines utilizing the compressed air. When vibrations from one source are transmitted to the connected structures, the overlap of vibrations of varied frequencies can lead to major damage to piping over a period of continuous use. This could cause leakage from the pipes resulting in a dip in the performance of air compressors and connected equipment.

The base of the compressor container, supported by metallic legs, is also highly susceptible to vibrations. After long periods of constant usage, the vibrations can damage the weld that connects the base of the compressor with the legs.           

Installing rubber isolator mounts is one of the most economical ways to control vibrations from damaging the piping connecting the air compressor to the machine. Rubber mounts minimize connect between the metallic parts and absorb vibrations from being transmitted to supporting structures. Thus, the vibrations produced in the air compressor don’t affect the piping’s structural stability.
