What is an AV Mount?

What is an AV Mount?

At Yorkshire Engineering, we believe that the significance of maintaining operational efficiency and preventing unnecessary wear and tear cannot be understated. Anti-vibration mounts (AV mounts) emerge as unsung heroes in this domain, ensuring that intricate components of various systems remain stable and functional. We firmly advocate for the incorporation of AV mounts, not just in industrial settings, but also in everyday appliances such as computers. So, let’s assess what an AV mount is, highlighting their importance and diverse application.

The essence of AV mounts

Vibration is an unavoidable consequence of machinery and equipment operation. It occurs due to the movement and rotation of mechanical components. The issues associated with vibration include reduced performance, increased maintenance costs, and even system failure. The primary purpose of an AV mount is to counteract these vibrations and ensure the smooth functioning of various machinery and equipment.

 

The diversity of AV mounts and their uses

A common misconception is that an AV mount is only useful in large industrial machinery. Even much smaller devices such as computers, washing machines and air conditioning units generate vibrations during operation. Take for instance the cooling fans within a computer. While their function is essential for preventing overheating, they also generate vibrations that, over time, can negatively impact the electronic components housed within.

Silence and stability

Essentially, an anti-vibration mount is an essential component in reducing noise and vibration as they absorb the vibrations and sounds to minimise damage. Functioning as adept absorbers, these mounts encapsulate vibrations and sounds, in the process, mitigating the potential issues that they could wreak on the machinery and the equipment.
