Follow on Google News | ![]() Misumi Offers Wide Selection of Panels Made Of Sound Proofing And Vibration Absorption MaterialsAdhesive-backed panels, in diverse types and sizes, are used to effectively dampen noise and vibration in automated machinery and work cells.
By: Misumi USA “High levels of sound in a manufacturing plant can create an uncomfortable working environment for employees that may result in decreased productivity and potentially create a safety risk,” notes Chris Blaszczyk, Engineering Manager for Misumi. “Also, high vibration levels within a machine enclosure or automated work cell can have a negative impact on the equipment, resulting in premature wear-and-tear and shorter service life. In most of these instances, our specialty material panels can be applied to buffer these effects to a large degree.” The materials used in the various types of panels include Vinyl Acetate, Urethane Foam, and Butyl Rubber – some utilizing a single material, others utilizing various combinations and surfaces, with the choice depending on the application involved and the sound/vibration reduction effects desired. Misumi’s selection of Sound Proofing and Vibration Absorption products is divided into the following three general categories. •Sound Insulation Materials, which reflect sound and change the vibration frequency to decrease their sound generation. •Sound Absorption Materials, which absorb the sound, converting sound energy into heat energy through internal friction. •Vibration Absorption Materials, which convert the vibration energy of a solid surface into heat energy and decrease sound generation from vibrations. All panels feature a powerful adhesive surface on one side, from which a peelable paper backing can be removed. The material can then be applied to form a secure bond with the surface involved – which may be on the wall of an automated work cell or a machine enclosure, for example, or direct application onto the surface of a metal pipe, plate, tray or any other part causing the unwanted sound or vibration. All panels are made of incombustible materials that can be cut and shaped to fit using a utility knife with the adhesive surface up. The Vibration Absorption Materials selection also features a variety of anti-vibration gel and rubber pads that will greatly reduce vibration of machine elements when mounted on top of these products.
