Vibro-IC Rubber Isolation Collar is a high-performance elastomeric washer designed to prevent noise and vibration transmission through mechanical fixings. By isolating bolts from surrounding structures, it eliminates sound bridges and enhances sound insulation. With its durable rubber construction, zinc-plated metal washer, and easy installation, Vibro-IC ensures reliable and efficient vibration control.

Description

The Vibro-IC Rubber Isolation Collar is a high-performance rubber-based component designed to isolate mechanical fastenings from transferring noise and vibration into the rest of the structure. Its primary function is to prevent direct contact between bolts and supporting materials, thereby reducing unwanted sound bridges and enhancing sound insulation in environments where rigid connections typically cause noise transmission. The Vibro-IC Rubber Isolation Collar is particularly effective in applications where soundproofing and vibration control are critical, such as in construction and industrial installations.

The washer consists of a durable rubber component with a specially designed neck, enabling it to accommodate a range of bolt sizes, specifically with central holes of Φ8mm and Φ20mm. To ensure uniform distribution of fastening forces, a zinc-plated metal washer is included, optimizing the installation and reducing the likelihood of uneven load-bearing. This combination of rubber and metal ensures reliable vibration isolation while maintaining structural integrity.

The Vibro-IC Rubber Isolation Collar design emphasizes durability, performance, and ease of installation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The rubber collar is made from a polymer blend of natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), giving it excellent resilience and long-term performance.

Applications

The Vibro-IC Rubber Isolation Collar is ideal for any application where mechanical fastenings need to be acoustically isolated from the surrounding structure. Its versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of sectors, including construction, industry, and plant engineering. Common applications include:

  • Steelwork isolation in building structures to prevent noise transfer between metal frameworks and external environments.

  • Machine and plant holding-down bolts to reduce vibration transmission and improve overall noise control in machinery installations.

  • Facade fixings, where reducing sound bridges between external structures and internal spaces is essential for effective sound insulation.

The Vibro-IC’s ability to isolate vibrations makes it particularly effective in environments with heavy machinery or high-impact operations, where noise and vibration control are essential for maintaining comfort and regulatory compliance.

Quality Assurance

The Vibro-IC Rubber Isolation Collar is designed and produced in compliance with ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management, ensuring that all products meet rigorous standards for both performance and sustainability. Its innovative design, ease of use, and high-quality materials make it a reliable choice for a wide range of industrial and construction applications.
