Vibration control of looms

[sac79]

We need to reduce vibrations transferred from rapier loom to the building structure and also have to ensure that the machine vibrations do not increase. Kindly suggest any solution/s. Thanks in advance.

Well first, double posting is frowned upon; however, this is the right forum for your question. It sounds like you need dampeners for vibration (not shock). There are a few companies out there so just Google and I’m sure you’ll find them. Call their application engineer and they will guide you in the right direction with their products.

Are the looms mounted on a ground floor, or an upper floor?

Have you done some vibration analysis to understand the frequency(s) of the vibration of interest on the building structure? Alos the amplitude, to understand how much reduction would be 'enough"?
Is the vibration at a frequency related to rpm of some component?

Where does the limit on "machine vibration" come from?
