Key Performance Criteria for Elastomeric Anti-Vibration Mounts

Selecting the correct elastomeric anti-vibration mount involves more than simply matching the equipment's weight. Factors such as load capacity, rubber hardness, vibration-damping characteristics, shock absorption, and environmental conditions all influence long-term performance and vibration reduction efficiency.


Understanding the specifications below will help you choose the most suitable elastomeric mount for pumps, fans, motors, compressors, generators, HVAC equipment, industrial machinery, and specialised technical installations.

Load Capacity

Load capacity determines how much weight an elastomeric mount can safely support while maintaining its intended vibration isolation performance.


Every mount is designed to operate within a specific load range. When correctly loaded, the elastomer deforms as intended, allowing it to absorb vibration and dissipate mechanical energy effectively.
 

If the applied load is too low, the mount may not deform sufficiently to provide optimum vibration reduction. If overloaded, excessive compression can reduce performance, increase stress within the material, and shorten service life.


When selecting elastomeric mounts:

  • Determine the total operating weight of the equipment, including fluids, accessories, and ancillary components.
  • Divide the load evenly across all mounting points.
  • Verify that each mount operates within its recommended load range.
  • Consider dynamic loads caused by start-up, shutdown, shock forces, and variable operating conditions.

Proper load distribution is particularly important for compressors, generators, pumps, motors, and industrial machinery.

Rubber Hardness (Shore A)

One of the key characteristics of elastomeric mounts is the hardness of the rubber compound, typically measured on the Shore A scale.
 

Rubber hardness directly influences how the mount behaves under load and how effectively it controls vibration. In general:

  • Softer compounds provide greater vibration isolation.
  • Harder compounds offer increased stability and load capacity.
  • Lower Shore values allow greater deflection under load.
  • Higher Shore values are often preferred for heavier equipment and applications requiring increased rigidity.

Selecting the correct hardness helps achieve the right balance between vibration reduction and equipment stability.

Vibration Damping Characteristics

Unlike spring isolators, elastomeric mounts provide inherent damping.

Damping describes the ability of a material to absorb and dissipate vibration energy rather than allowing it to continue oscillating through the system.
 

Effective damping helps:

  • Reduce vibration transmission.
  • Minimise resonance effects.
  • Improve equipment stability.
  • Reduce vibration build-up during operation.
  • Improve occupant comfort in occupied buildings.

This makes elastomeric mounts particularly effective for pumps, fans, motors, compressors, and medium-to-high-speed rotating equipment.

Compression and Shear Performance

Vibration forces rarely occur in a single direction. Depending on the equipment, elastomeric mounts may be required to control:

  • Vertical vibration (compression loads)
  • Horizontal vibration (shear loads)
  • Combined multi-directional movement

Different mount designs are optimised for different loading conditions.
 

Applications such as pumps, motors, compressors, and HVAC equipment frequently generate forces in multiple directions. Selecting a mount designed for both compression and shear loading can significantly improve vibration control and overall equipment stability.

Shock Absorption Capability

Many machines generate sudden impact forces in addition to continuous vibration. Elastomeric materials are highly effective at absorbing these shock loads and preventing them from being transmitted into supporting structures.


Shock absorption is particularly important for:

  • Generators and engines
  • Reciprocating machinery
  • Compressors
  • Industrial production equipment
  • Mobile and transport equipment
  • Machinery exposed to intermittent loading

In these applications, elastomeric mounts help protect both equipment and supporting structures from excessive mechanical stress.

Dynamic Stiffness

Dynamic stiffness describes how an elastomeric mount behaves under operating conditions rather than under static load alone. It influences:

  • Vibration isolation performance
  • Equipment stability
  • Resonance behaviour
  • Shock response

Mounts with lower dynamic stiffness generally provide improved vibration isolation, while higher stiffness often delivers greater equipment stability.


Understanding dynamic stiffness is particularly important when isolating equipment operating at varying speeds or under changing load conditions.

Environmental Resistance

Elastomeric mounts are often installed in demanding environments where long-term durability is essential. Key environmental factors include:

  • Outdoor weather exposure
  • Moisture and humidity
  • UV radiation
  • Oil and fuel contamination
  • Chemicals and cleaning agents
  • Temperature fluctuations

For rooftop HVAC equipment, pumps, generators, and outdoor plant installations, selecting mounts with appropriate environmental resistance can significantly extend service life and maintain performance over time.

Corrosion Protection and Metal Components

Many elastomeric mounts combine rubber elements with steel or galvanised metal components. In industrial and outdoor environments, corrosion protection can be just as important as vibration performance. 

Consider:

  • Galvanised steel components
  • Corrosion-resistant coatings
  • Stainless steel options where required
  • Marine and coastal exposure conditions

Proper material selection helps ensure reliable long-term operation in challenging environments.

Equipment Stability and Restraint

While vibration reduction is important, equipment stability is equally critical. Elastomeric mounts must provide sufficient support to prevent:

  • Excessive movement
  • Rocking and tilting
  • Equipment misalignment
  • Instability during start-up or shutdown

Applications involving generators, engines, compressors, and rotating machinery often benefit from restrained or failsafe mount designs that combine vibration isolation with additional mechanical security.

Multi-Directional Vibration Control

Some equipment generates vibration across multiple axes simultaneously. In these applications, specialised solutions such as Vibro-3D can provide improved performance by controlling vibration and movement in several directions at once.


Multi-directional isolation is often beneficial for:

  • Rotating machinery
  • Technical installations
  • Specialist industrial equipment
  • Sensitive mechanical systems
  • Equipment exposed to complex vibration patterns

Selecting the correct mount geometry can significantly improve vibration reduction and overall equipment reliability.

If you are unsure which elastomeric mount is best for your application, start by identifying the equipment weight, operating speed, mounting arrangement, and environmental conditions. These factors will help determine the most suitable vibration isolation solution and ensure reliable long-term performance.

Unlike spring isolators, elastomeric mounts provide inherent damping, making them highly effective for medium- and high-frequency vibration applications.

Where are elastomeric anti-vibration mounts most commonly used?

Elastomeric mounts are widely used in HVAC systems, pumps, compressors, electric motors, generators, production machinery, workshop equipment, heat pumps, air conditioning systems, water treatment facilities, and industrial process equipment. Their versatility makes them one of the most widely specified vibration isolation solutions across commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

Are elastomeric mounts suitable for heat pumps and air conditioning units?

Yes. Elastomeric vibration isolators are commonly used beneath residential and commercial heat pumps, air conditioning condensers, refrigeration systems, and HVAC equipment. They help reduce vibration transmission into building structures, minimise noise complaints, improve equipment stability, and protect surrounding surfaces from long-term vibration exposure.

What is rubber hardness and why is it important?

Rubber hardness, typically measured on the Shore A scale, affects how an elastomeric mount behaves under load. Softer compounds generally provide greater vibration isolation, while harder compounds offer increased stability and higher load capacity. Selecting the correct hardness is important to achieve the right balance between vibration reduction, shock absorption, and equipment support.

Are elastomeric mounts suitable for outdoor installations?
