Vibrations are temporal changes of state variables (e.g. path, acceleration, velocity, etc.) from an equilibrium value and a position of rest. There are different types (see also types of vibrations ) [..]

Periodic oscillation:

Vibration isolation means the decoupling of disturbance forces and vibrations. This effect can always be observed in both directions, i.e. from the engine to the environment as well as in the opposite [..]

The type of load is important when it comes to selecting and calculating the suitable vibration isolation. This load is composed of two parts: 1. static load caused by the weight of the machine and th [..]

is the measure of the number of oscillations per second. The unit is Hertz (Hz).

is the frequency at which the vibrating body oscillates freely about its position of equilibrium after a singular excitation.

is the frequency at which the system is excited in the case of a forced vibration. Often it is equal to the engine speed or stroke rate.

are elements that convert an input signal into a different type of signal. It is mostly mechanical work that is converted. Thereby, they influence the control system actively and provide reference val [..]

are the possible directions of motion of a system. A solid body has six degrees of freedom, because you can move the body in three independent directions ( X , Y , Z ) and rotate it around each of the [..]

The location of the center of gravity of a machine is important for static mounting and the selection of mounting points when it comes to vibration isolation.
