Misumi USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Misumi Corporation, part of Misumi Group, Inc. (Tokyo: 9962), offers machine builders and industrial plant engineers a large portfolio of Sound Proofing and Vibration Absorption Materials to help resolve challenges related to machine-generated noise and vibration.
“High levels of sound in a manufacturing plant can create an uncomfortable working environment for employees that may result in decreased productivity and potentially create a safety risk,” notes Chris Blaszczyk, Engineering Manager for Misumi. “Also, high vibration levels within a machine enclosure or automated work cell can have a negative impact on the equipment, resulting in premature wear-and-tear and shorter service life. In most of these instances, our specialty material panels can be applied to buffer these effects to a large degree.”
The materials used in the various types of panels include Vinyl Acetate, Urethane Foam, and Butyl Rubber – some utilizing a single material, others utilizing various combinations and surfaces, with the choice depending on the application involved and the sound/vibration reduction effects desired.
Misumi’s selection of Sound Proofing and Vibration Absorption products is divided into the following three general categories.
All panels feature a powerful adhesive surface on one side, from which a peelable paper backing can be removed. The material can then be applied to form a secure bond with the surface involved – which may be on the wall of an automated work cell or a machine enclosure, for example, or direct application onto the surface of a metal pipe, plate, tray or any other part causing the unwanted sound or vibration. All panels are made of incombustible materials that can be cut and shaped to fit using a utility knife with the adhesive surface up.
The Vibration Absorption Materials selection also features a variety of anti-vibration gel and rubber pads that will greatly reduce vibration of machine elements when mounted on top of these products.
