ACE Vibration Control

Product catalog summary
Introduction
ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH is a leader in industrial damping technology, offering products for vibration control, motion control, and safety. The company collaborates with mechanical engineering firms to advance damping technology.
Product Range
The catalogue includes safety shock absorbers, clamping elements, viscoelastic shock absorbers, rubber-metal isolators, vibration-isolating pads, and pneumatic leveling mounts. These products enhance production quality by reducing reject rates, extending tool life, and improving measurement accuracy.
Vibration Isolation
Vibration isolation is essential for noise reduction and workplace improvement. It includes source isolation (dampening machine vibrations) and receiver isolation (protecting sensitive equipment). Effective isolation enhances production speed and accuracy while reducing machinery stress.
Technical Notes
Vibration isolation effectiveness is assessed by comparing excitation frequency to the system's natural frequency. Proper damping prevents vibration amplification during resonance. A selection guide helps users choose isolation products based on load and frequency.

ACE Vibration Control-6

Vibration Isolation Noise reduction and vibration isolation are becoming more and more important in our daily lives. This applies in particular to the workplace and the environments around production companies. Preventing noise emissions or harmful vibrations is therefore not only a necessity required by noise protection and occupational health and safety legislation; their sources must also be localised by means of targeted analyses in order to develop suitable improvement measures for achieving, for example, increased production quality. A second by-product of vibrations are their effects on...

ACE Vibration Control-7

Technical Notes Effectiveness, Calibration, Quick Selection Types and mode of action of vibration isolation Vibration isolation is generally subdivided into source isolation and receiver isolation. In source isolation (emission protection), for example, a press or a machine is isolated from its foundation so that the vibrations are damped to a desired extent. In the case of receiver isolation, however, the object to be protected, e.g. a measuring table, is isolated from the foundation. If the machinery or equipment is rigidly connected with the foundation, one can assume an almost 100% transmission...

ACE Vibration Control-8

Technical Notes Effectiveness, Calibration, Quick Selection Effectiveness and vibration calibration In order to assess the effectiveness of isolation elements for harmonic vibrations, one relates the excitation frequency fe (machine speed in 1/s) of the isolator to the natural frequency f0. It may generally be assumed that the effectiveness of an isolation increases with the decreasing natural frequency of the system. If the ratio ɳ of the excitation frequency to the natural frequency of the system is larger than √2, one may refer to an isolation effect. Furthermore, the degree of effectiveness...

ACE Vibration Control-12

Quick selection of suitable isolation products made easy! The majority of isolation solutions can be found with the relatively easy use of diagrams. They allow a simple relation to be made between natural frequency, the predominant excitation frequency and the degree of isolation to be expected. As marked in the diagrams, we recommend the use of products with a theoretical degree of isolation of 50% or higher. Another rough guide value for an efficient and cost-effective vibration isolation is a ratio of roughly 3 between the excitation frequency of the isolator and the predominant natural frequency....
