Vibration at sea: permanent and demanding
Engines, generators and auxiliaries run around the clock on board. Their vibration travels into the hull and accommodation, while waves and wind add shock loads and movement.
Quiet on board
Elastic mounting reduces structure-borne noise in cabins and on the bridge.
Shock resistant
Elastomers absorb shock loads from rough seas.
Longer maintenance intervals
Less vibration means less wear under extreme conditions.
Typical applications
- Marine engines and generators
- Pumps, compressors and auxiliaries on board
- Elastomer and sliding bearings under glass domes
- Main mast bearings on sailing yachts
- Offshore platforms and supply vessels
Recommended systems & technical data
| Recommended system | Load range (static continuous) | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Cold-flexible elastomer mat | to design, up to 60 mm thick | Engines, generators, refrigerated areas (−35 °C to +90 °C) |
| PUR elastomer, medium to heavy | 0.11 – 0.85 N/mm² | Auxiliary machinery with low tuning |
| Elastomer and sliding bearings (CR, EPDM, NBR) | to design | Domes, masts, deck structures |
Indicative values for static continuous load. Final design is project-specific.
FAQ
Which temperatures can the mats withstand?
Our robust isolation mats are temperature-resistant from −35 °C to +90 °C and remain flexible in the cold.
Are the materials resistant to oil and seawater?
We choose the material to suit the environment, e.g. NBR for oil and fuel, EPDM or CR for weather and open decks.
