Rubber mounts or anti vibration mounts can reduce the intensity , or more precisely the amplitude, of an externally imposed oscillation or vibration in two way
- If the frequency of the oscillation is very different from the natural frequency of the system comprising the supported mass plus the rubber mounts support, the rubber material will not deform freely at this impose frequency ; we might indeed say that it is unwilling to vibration at an “unnatural” frequency
- When the imposed frequency is very high , say 1000 Hz or more, the imposed oscillations are more or less damped out by the viscous element in the deformation of rubber material ; this effect is call “attenuation” and is particularly inportant with sound vibrations.

The flat rubber mounts
Anti Vibration Mount is used in compressor and pump Cushy float. It is used in marine engines, this rubber mounts are easier to install. It helps to limit the excessive movements of the machine parts which produces vibration shocks. The metal cover in the mounting protects against contamination of oil and resistant to corrosion.
