Captive Vibration Mounts
The category of Captive vibration mounts includes mounts that do not fall apart even if the rubber becomes torn. Widely used, mainly in mobile machines, construction machines and ships.
Captive Vibration Mounts are a special type of damper designed to remain intact – even if the rubber is damaged or torn. They are therefore used in situations where it is crucial that the equipment remains securely mounted – even if the rubber in the dampers fails. This means that, for example, the equipment cannot fall down, move uncontrollably in an engine room, or shift with the risk of causing pipe ruptures, etc.
Where are Captive Vibration Mounts used?
The Captive Vibration Mounts are developed to protect machines and installations against vibrations and shocks. They are particularly suitable for:
- Mobile applications – e.g. construction machinery, ships, and vehicles
- Outdoor installations exposed to wind loads
- Stationary installations – e.g. generators, pumps, cooling units, and other equipment that must remain in position, even if the rubber in the dampers fails.
By reducing vibrations and absorbing shocks, they extend the service life of your equipment and ensure more stable operation.
Marine Mounts for Boat Engines
An example of this type is marine mounts, which act as vibration-damping supports for boat engines. They ensure that the engine runs stably while significantly reducing noise and vibrations – and even if the rubber breaks down after many years of use, the engine remains safely in place.
