Description
Core Mounts – Rubber Vibration Isolation Mountings
Overview
Core mounts are cylindrical rubber-metal bonded vibration isolators designed to provide reliable vibration isolation for compressors, pumps, fans and general industrial machinery. The rubber core is compression-molded and bonded to metal plates or flanges, providing excellent load-carrying capacity and vibration damping in a compact mounting.
Features
- Cylindrical rubber core bonded to metal plates
- High-quality rubber compounds for long service life
- Compression and shear vibration isolation
- Rugged steel components with corrosion protection
- Multiple mounting configurations (male/female studs)
- Wide range of load capacities
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
Applications
Core mounts are widely used for:
- Radiator mountings
- Frame Mounted Equipment
- Electric motors and motor-driven machinery
- Small generators and power equipment
- Engine Mountings
- Industrial machinery and processing equipment
- Earth Moving Equipments
Technical Specifications
- Material: Natural rubber, neoprene or nitrile rubber compounds
- Metal Components: Steel with zinc plating or epoxy powder coating
- Load Range: 25 kg to 400 kg per mount (multiple sizes available)
- Deflection: 1.5mm to 6mm under rated load
- Natural Frequency: 10-15 Hz depending on load and model
- Temperature Range: -30°C to +70°C (standard), -40°C to +100°C (special grades)
- Mounting Options: Male-male studs, male-female studs, through-bolt designs
- Standard Stud Sizes: M8, M10, M12, M16
Benefits
- Effective vibration isolation reduces structure-borne noise
- Extends equipment bearing life by reducing transmitted vibrations
- Compact design fits in tight installation spaces
- Easy to install with standard tools and fasteners
- Long service life – typically 10-15 years in normal conditions
- Cost-effective vibration isolation solution
- No maintenance required during service life
Selection Guidelines
Proper core mount selection depends on:
- Total equipment weight (including motor, driven equipment, base frame)
- Number of mounting points (typically 4 to 6)
- Operating speed/frequency of equipment
- Desired vibration isolation efficiency
- Environmental conditions (temperature, chemical exposure)
- Available mounting space and configuration
