A vibration isolator is a device designed to reduce the transmission of vibrations from one object to another. It works by absorbing and dampening vibrations, which can come from machinery, vehicles, or other sources. This helps protect sensitive equipment and improves comfort in buildings by minimizing noise and movement. These isolators can be made from various materials, such as rubber or springs, and are commonly used in applications like industrial machinery, HVAC systems, and automobiles. By effectively isolating vibrations, they enhance performance and extend the lifespan of equipment while ensuring a quieter environment.
