Guide to prevent mechanical vibrations in your machines

mechanical vibrations

What are mechanical vibrations?

Mechanical vibrations can be defined as the movement of a solid body around an balance position. If the vibrating object comes into contact with any part of the human body, it transmits the energy generated by the vibration. This energy is absorbed by the body and can produce in it various effects that depend on the characteristics of the vibration.

They are some of the issues that haunt manufacturers of all types of industrial machines. These, along with undesired noises, affect customer satisfaction and limit the perception and quality of the end product. Would you like to know a few tips to prevent vibrations? In this article-guide we let you know what part speed reducers and mechanical transmissions play in this, and which steps we should follow in order to prevent these problems.
