AV Mount Types
Anti Vibration Mounts (AV Mounts) for Industrial & Automotive Applications
Anti vibration mounts (also called vibration isolators or AV mounts) are placed between a vibrating source (engine, motor, compressor, pump) and its supporting structure to prevent vibration from transmitting to the surroundings. The rubber element absorbs vibrational energy through elastic deformation, while metal components provide rigid attachment points. Effective isolation begins when the disturbing frequency exceeds the mount's natural frequency by a factor of 1.4 or more — above this ratio, vibration transmission drops rapidly.
ARPL manufactures rubber-to-metal bonded anti vibration mounts at IMT Manesar, Haryana since 1994. We serve OEMs, machine builders, and industrial customers across Delhi NCR, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, and export markets worldwide.
Anti Vibration Mount Specifications & Capabilities
ARPL designs anti vibration mounts for specific load, frequency, and environmental conditions. Mount geometry, rubber compound, and hardness are selected to achieve the target natural frequency and isolation efficiency for each application.
Key Performance Parameters
- Hardness: 30 to 80 Shore A — softer compounds (30-50) for maximum isolation; harder compounds (55-80) for higher load capacity and stability
- Temperature range: -40°C to +150°C — NR for standard, EPDM for heat, VMQ for extreme temperatures
- Load capacity: 0.5 kg to 500 kg per mount — from small motors and electronics to heavy generators and compressors
- Loading modes: Compression, shear, combined — mount geometry selected for primary load direction and required stiffness ratio
- Isolation efficiency: Up to 95% — achieved when operating frequency is 3x or more above the mount's natural frequency
- Metal: Mild steel (zinc/phosphate plated), stainless steel — corrosion-protected for indoor and outdoor installations
- Bond strength: "R" failure mode — rubber tears before bond fails, confirmed by destructive testing
Mount Geometry Guide
- Cylindrical mounts — rubber bonded between inner and outer metal sleeves. Work in shear and compression. Best for combined radial and axial loads. Common for motors, pumps, and automotive mounts.
- Conical mounts — tapered rubber element provides progressive stiffness. Load capacity increases with deflection. Fail-safe design prevents separation under overload. Ideal for heavy machinery and gensets.
- Sandwich mounts — rubber bonded between two flat metal plates. Work primarily in compression. Simple, compact design for vertical loads. Used for HVAC, compressors, and panel-mounted equipment.
- Bobbin mounts (stud type) — male or female threaded studs bonded to a rubber element. Easy bolt-on installation. Available in compression and shear configurations for small to medium equipment.
- Flanged mounts — rubber element with integral metal flange for bolt-through mounting. Provides fail-safe retention and is used where positive attachment is required.
Compound Comparison for Anti Vibration Mounts
| Compound | Temp. Range | Resilience | Oil Resistance | Weather | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NR | -40 to +80°C | Excellent | Poor | Fair | General industrial isolation, automotive (most common) |
| EPDM | -50 to +150°C | Good | Poor | Excellent | Outdoor installations, high-temp environments |
| CR | -35 to +120°C | Good | Moderate | Good | Oil-exposed machinery, flame-retardant applications |
| NBR | -30 to +120°C | Fair | Excellent | Poor | Engine-area mounts, fuel and hydraulic exposure |
| VMQ | -60 to +200°C | Fair | Poor | Excellent | Extreme temperature isolation, exhaust-area mounts |

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about anti vibration mounts
An anti vibration mount (also called vibration isolator) is a rubber-to-metal bonded component placed between a vibrating machine and its support structure. The rubber element absorbs vibrational energy through elastic deformation, preventing vibration from transmitting to the surroundings. Effective isolation occurs when the disturbing frequency is at least 1.4 times the mount's natural frequency — above this ratio, vibration transmission decreases rapidly and can reach 95% reduction or more.
ARPL manufactures cylindrical mounts, conical mounts, sandwich mounts, bobbin mounts, flanged mounts, and custom isolation mounts at our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in IMT Manesar, Gurugram, Haryana. Each geometry is optimized for specific loading conditions — compression, shear, or combined — to deliver maximum isolation efficiency for the application.
The key factors are: total equipment weight divided by the number of mount points, disturbing frequency (RPM of motor or engine), desired isolation efficiency, primary load direction (vertical, horizontal, or multi-axis), operating temperature, and environmental exposure (indoor, outdoor, oil, chemicals). ARPL engineers can recommend the optimal mount geometry, compound, and hardness based on these parameters.
Natural Rubber (NR) is the standard compound for anti vibration mounts due to its excellent resilience, fatigue life, and broad-frequency damping. EPDM is selected for outdoor and high-temperature installations. Neoprene (CR) for oil-exposed or flame-retardant applications. Nitrile (NBR) for direct oil and fuel contact. Silicone (VMQ) for extreme temperatures from -60°C to +200°C.
Compression mounts (like sandwich mounts) support load perpendicular to the rubber surface and provide higher load capacity but stiffer response. Shear mounts load the rubber parallel to the bonded surfaces, providing softer stiffness and better isolation at lower frequencies. Cylindrical mounts operate in combined compression-shear, offering a balance of load capacity and isolation performance.
Every production lot undergoes destructive adhesion testing confirming "R" failure mode, hardness verification, dimensional inspection, and static compression testing. Load-deflection curves are validated to ensure consistent stiffness and natural frequency characteristics. All processes operate under ISO 9001:2015 quality management at our IMT Manesar facility.
