The Benefits and Features of Hydro Mounts
)
Features:
Hydraulic Viscous Damper
An essential feature of hydro mounts is the hydraulic viscous damper. This feature dissipates the kinetic energy using a viscous fluid and cushions the impact between two components.
They are versatile devices that offer stability, vibration control and precise motion control. Due to their suitability to mobile machinery and equipment, hydraulic viscous dampers are an integral part of hydro mounts. And when partnered with a rubber element, they work perfectly together to absorb harmful vibrations.
Rubber Element
The rubber element within a hydro mount serves as a critical component for vibration isolation and load support. The rubber acts as a first line of protection, absorbing the high-frequency vibrations. This reduces the vibration transfer to the surrounding structure, protecting the components from damage and wear and tear.
Plunger System
Hydro mounts contain a plunger system that is integrated within a hydro mount to regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid between the chambers. The plunger within the damper dynamically moves and changes in response to the magnitude of the vibrations, making it suitable for a range of frequencies.
Benefits:
One of the main draws to the use of hydro mounts is the effectiveness of its vibration isolation and control. At AV Industrial Products Ltd, our hydro mounts allow excellent vibration reduction of up to 95%.
Not only do hydro mounts offer high levels of vibration reduction, they also host a number of other benefits:
Improved operator comfort
Absorbs transit shocks
Offers ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) subject to approval
Facilitates a range of vibration frequencies
High load-bearing capacity
