If all machines had a uniform weight distribution and no moving horizontal parts, conventional, constant-stiffness, vibration isolators would keep the equipment level. (Such isolators have force ...

M-Series machine mounts, for equipment that does not require floor fastening, tackle 100 to 12,000-lb loads of automatic lathes, grinders, and drilling/milling machines. They include mechanically ...

In the last issue of MACHINE DESIGN, we examined methods to predict how vibration-isolation systems would perform. (“Shaking up vibration models,” Nov. 6, 2008, p. 63 to 68.) This discussion centered ...
