FAB 3000-050 Theory

Vibration isolation theory of foundations for building, equipment and machines. Vibrating, rotating, reciprocating, and impacting equipment create machine-induced vibration and/or shock, which is transmitted into their support systems. Rotating machines and equipment that are not properly balanced produce centrifugal forces creating steady state and random vibration. Machines generating pulses or impacts, such as forging presses, injection moulders, impact testers, hammers, centrifugal pumps, and compressors are the most predominate sources of vibration and shock.
