Anti-vibration solutions

Reduce vibration. Minimise noise.

Mechanical equipment such as pumps, chillers, air-handling units, compressors, and generators continuously generate vibration during operation. Without proper vibration isolation, these forces can travel through structures, pipework and support systems, creating unwanted noise, increasing maintenance requirements and reducing the lifespan of equipment.

Walraven antivibration solutions help engineers, consultants and installers create quieter, more reliable building services installations.
Prevent these issues with the right strategy for safer, quieter and more reliable installation. Turn down the volume of buildings.

Case studies

Not sure which anti-vibration solution you need?

The correct anti-vibration solution depends on the type of equipment, operating frequency, load, location and acoustic requirements.

It is vital to understand your vibration challenges and then select the suitable products. Often you must combine vibration isolation with reliable support systems for:

HVAC equipment
Pumps and pipework
Rooftop chillers and refrigeration units
Air handling units and ventilation systems
Generators and backup power systems
Suspended pipe systems

Install with confidence

Reduce vibration and structure noise

Where are anti-vibration solutions needed?

Rooftop equipment

Chillers, heat pumps, condensers and air-handling units can transmit vibration directly into the roof structure and the spaces below. This can cause structure-borne noise, discomfort for occupants and additional stress on connected services.

Walraven spring and rubber vibration isolators help separate rooftop equipment from the supporting structure, reducing vibration transfer and supporting quieter, more reliable installations.

Machine rooms

Pumps, compressors, chillers and other rotating equipment generate continuous vibration in technical rooms. Without effective isolation, this vibration can travel through floors, walls and connected pipework to other areas of the building.

Walraven vibration isolation products provide effective separation between equipment and its supporting structure, helping reduce equipment noise, protect building services and improve the working environment.

Ventilation systems above occupied spaces

Fans, air-handling units and connected ductwork are often installed directly above offices, living areas and hospitality spaces. Vibration can travel through hangers, ceilings and structural elements, creating unwanted noise in the rooms below.

Walraven spring and rubber isolation solutions help reduce vibration transfer from suspended and floor-mounted ventilation equipment, supporting better acoustic comfort throughout the building.

Generators and power backup systems

Generators, emergency power systems and cogeneration units produce significant vibration and dynamic loads during operation. If transferred into the building structure, these forces can cause noise, discomfort and additional stress on equipment connections.

Walraven spring and rubber isolators help control vibration at its source, protecting the surrounding structure and supporting quieter, more stable and reliable operation.
