Industrial shock absorber and vibration isolation applications
Explore product applications in packaging, automation, material handling, automated warehouses, cranes and equipment vibration protection.
Start with the problem your machine needs to solve
Follow an operating example, understand what rules a model out, then send your own conditions for review.

EKD's test report article documents a 10,000 kg rail-impact setup at 1.94 m/s, with test photos, video and force–displacement curves. These materials provide a concrete example of impact testing.
The article does not identify the exact product model or provide the complete laboratory report. Request the model, test conditions and acceptance criteria before using this example to support your application.

Extreme-duty energy absorption for cranes, rail systems and heavy moving structures.
Explore optionsContinuous vibration or transport shock?
Use a vibration-isolation review for pumps, cabinets and transported equipment. The motion-sizing calculator covers supported end-stop shock absorber cases; it does not calculate isolation performance.
I only know the equipment weight. Can I start?
Yes. Send the weight, support layout, equipment type and any photos or test report. Mark frequency or shock data as unknown; engineering review must establish them before a performance claim can be made.
Can I divide the total weight by four mounts?
Only a symmetric layout with a centered center of gravity and the corresponding static assumptions supports equal sharing. An offset center of gravity, torque or transport acceleration can produce unequal loads. Supply support positions and the center of gravity, or mark it unknown.
Rubber or wire rope isolators?
Compare the required frequency range, load direction, allowable displacement, damping and environment. Neither material is universally better. Directional load and stiffness data, shock conditions and durability requirements determine the candidate.
Unknown data is welcome: say what is measured, estimated or not yet known. Photos, drawings and existing test records help define the next checks.
