Typical fields of application for our vibration damping mats include: - Heavy machine tools - Injection molding machines - Hydraulic systems / hydraulic presses - Punching machines / punch presses / automatic punch presses - coining presses - Die hammers - transformers - generators - Transport carts / truck trailers - Sensitive measuring, electronic and testing equipment, e.g. precision balances and microscopes - Vibration isolation of machine foundations - Vibration and noise damping of rails installed in the track system (high-speed trains, subways, streetcars)

Depending on type, multi-directional dampers can be loaded in every axis. In our standard vibration dampers of the GDZ series two all-metal cushions are installed. Depending on the assembly, these cushions are load with pressure or tension. Vibration dampers of the series 7 have another cushion obstructed which allows them to absorb load in horizontal direction additionally. Because of this, GDZ dampers are perfectly suitable for applications in the fields of plant engineering and rail vehicle construction. Our product range includes three different types of these multi-directional dampers: GDZ series 1 for a fixation with bolts for pressure and tension load GDZ series 5 for a welding fixation for pressure and tension load GDZ series 7 for a fixation with bolts for pressure, tension and horizontal load

Vibration damper of the series GMF are especially designed for machine tools. The elements GMF-( )-4 are made to mount small presses or cutters. Depending on the size of the elements they have a load range between 250 and 10.000 kg. Vibration damper of the series GST have an own levelling integrated, so they can compensate small unevenness on the floor. Our product range includes three different types of machine feet: GMF-( ) as a vibration damper especially for machine tools GMF-( )-4 as a vibration damper especially for small presses GST-( ) as a vibration damper with integrated levelling

Damping cushions made of stainless steel are knitted and pressed in a special process. Depending on size, density and design it can be loaded in a range between 5 and 20.000 kg. It can be pressed in cylindrical or rectangular shape. Versions with bunches and steps are available. Standard materials are 1.4301 and 1.4404. Additional materials and special designs are on demand. RG+ offers the following damping cushions as standard elements: GKK as a vibration damper in cylindrical form GKR as a vibration damper in rectangular form GKB as a vibration damper with a bunch
