The ACE Story In the 1950’s industrial shock absorbers were custom designed for specific weights, velocity and propelling force of the moving load. If these variables were precisely known and constant over time, a fixed orifice shock absorber, called a “hydroshock” did the job. But most often the weight, speed and forces were usually estimates and designing and building a shock that would work was a trial and error process. The founder of ACE Controls, William J. Chorkey Sr. was an engineer at MAC Valves where he was asked by Ford Motor Company to design circuits to decelerate air cylinders....

Vibration Isolation Noise reduction and vibration isolation are becoming more important. This applies especially to the workplace and to manufacturing environments. There are many reasons for preventing noise emissions or harmful vibration including; product quality, protecting delicate measuring and testing equipment. Preventive vibration isolation leads to improved working conditions more accurate production tolerances and increased product quality competitive and cost advantages due to lower reject rates increased production speed due to increased maximum machine dynamics longer tool and machine...

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. Source isolation, for example, is a press or machine that is isolated from its foundation so that the vibration is isolated. In the case of receiver isolation, the object to be protected, e.g. a measuring table, is isolated from the foundation. If the machinery or equipment is rigidly connected to the foundation without isolation material, one can assume an almost 100% transmission of vibration or...

Effectiveness, calibration, quick selection Effectiveness and Vibration Calibration In order to assess the effectiveness of isolation elements for harmonic vibration, one relates the excitation frequency fe (machine speed in cycles per second) of the isolator to the natural frequency f0. The effectiveness of isolation increases with the decreasing natural frequency of the system. If the ratio ɳ of the excitation to the natural frequency of the system is larger than √2, one may refer to an isolation effect. Furthermore, the degree of effectiveness (isolation) increases in proportion to the ratio...

Quick selection 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 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 excitation frequency.
