The essential characteristics of shocks are their duration, course and intensity. To achieve shock isolation, e.g. of presses, die cutters or hammers, the interfering impulse, comprising a high force peak working over a short span of time, is transformed into an impulse, which lasts for a longer time but causes only small residual forces.
Contrary to the periodically excited vibrations, the absorbed system oscillates at the excited inherent frequency of the isolated machine and not according to the excitation, e.g. the stroke rate. This can be compared, for example, with a tuning fork, which always generates a sound at a constant pitch.
Depending on the kind of impulse to be dampened, Bilz offers fully adjusted solutions; you can find current examples here to see some industrial applications of the Bilz solutions for impact absorption. We will be happy to advise you.
