Main causes of vibrations (buzzing, banging, squeaking, rattling) include:
- Imbalances in moving parts
- Loose screws
- Rivets
- Wear and tear as motors, products or machinery age, parts wear out or wear down, causing friction, which leads to grinding, that then leads to vibration
- Gaps between two surfaces that aren't supposed to, but come into contact
- Expansion and contraction with heat causes machinery to not operate at optimum levels losing efficiency
- Buildings lose shape leading to uneven fitting, doors and windows, then in turn are slammed and the list goes on.
The Good News Is...
A lot of your vibration problems (banging, rattling, buzzing) can be solved with our range of Vibration Absorbing / Dampening Tapes. Depending on your vibration issues, our tape offers the following solutions:
- Vibration dampening
- Shock and vibration absorption
- Isolates machinery from vibration
- Great abrasion and aging properties
- Will fill the gaps that are causing different surfaces to make contact with each other - causing vibration to occur
- Will conform to uneven - mismatched surfaces
- Die cutting available to different shapes and sizes of our tapes to solve your vibration issues
There are a range of vibration absorption tapes to suit a number of different applications including:
- Gas stops for cabinet doors
- Lids and drawers or almost any instance where slamming, scratching, nicking, scuffing, marring, sliding, vibration, or noise may be an issue
- Desktop or handheld electronic devices
- Electronic cabinetry
- Telephones
- Keyboards
- Foot pedals
- Scales
- Clocks
- Speakers
- Dispensers and computers
- Furniture
- Doors
- Hatches
- Lockers
- Tool chests
- Cabinets
- Space filling and gap sealing, etc.
- Outdoor use to stop vibrations on loose rivets, guttering, aluminium sheeting, trailers, caravans, truck pantecs, etc.
- Surfaces/products where there is constant contact, rubbing and scuffing such as conveyors, guide rails, chutes, cabinets, draws, etc.
- Behind picture frames, anywhere that a vibration may be caused, as the vibration, for example travels along a wall where a picture is hanging, felt tape will absorb the impact (depending on the severity of the vibration) & stop the frame from banging on the wall
For all your vibration isolation / anti vibration requirements, please contact us to see how we can help. We have a range of vibration absorption tapes available and for some, can even custom cut and die cut to any shape or width you require to suit your individual requirements.
