- Check the weight of the load and make sure that the dampers you have are suitable for damping the load in question. Remember to factor in the weight distribution of the load.
- E.g. The 34 LV 10/300 is designed for the 180–270 kg load range (60–90% of 300 kg).
- The YTM-LV series vibration dampers are designed for vertical compression loads. Make sure that the base and the bottom of the equipment are level.
- When damping vibration in machine aggregates, the actuator and the actuated equipment must stand on the same, solid base.
- Check the ambient conditions:
- The temperature should be between -35 and +65°C.
- Models without casings should not be exposed to UV radiation.
- Dampers should not be exposed to organic solvents.
- The rubber used in the dampers should not be exposed to oils.
- Any pipes or other similar structures should only be connected to the damped equipment using flexible fasteners. This prevents them from interfering with the dampers, stops vibration from resonating along the pipes and protects the pipes against shear forces.
- Check the depression of the dampers after installation.
- E.g. The 34 LV 10/300 should sag approx. 6–9 mm under loading (60–90% of 10 mm).
- Ensure sufficient clearance around the damped unit.
