Dynamic forces of mechanical and hydraulic nature invariably are a major cause of unwanted
vibrations in pumping machinery.
Over the years , AV mounts for Pumps have become more of a necessity for several reasons
1. Lightweight construction of building make if more susceptible to vibrate and anti vibration
mountings below the foundation bolts become necessary.
2. Space Constraints and valuable floor space lead to installation of HVAC equipment like pumps in
upper floors or nearby the main living space, making vibration transmission a real annoyance.
3. The relationship between workplace comfort and productive efficiency can never be
overemphasized and hence, vibration control a necessity.
4. Vibration sensitive quality control , testing and production machinery are often housed together
to achieve manufacturing ease, yet making them susceptible to vibration transmission and
inaccurate results.
Higher vibration transmission are known to cause :
1. Structural and building vibrations
2. Reduced pump performance
3. Impaired service life of the equipment
4. Distortion to foundation, pipe anchors
