Vibration Damping Compound
Vibration Damping Compound
(OP)
Hello, I am looking for a vibration damping compound to be used to fill a 1" gap between a concrete dynamometer base and the surrounding floor slab. Any ideas on a product for this application?
Thank you,
Thank you,

What do you really need to do?

I know many large diesel engines use a compound called Chockfast ( i think the spelling is correct)for alignment and vibration damping. It will be resistant to oil and diesel , as it is generally located in the bilge area.

Tar-like compounds or tapes are good damping media. The remaining problem is how you keep the slab from settling in time. Two grades of asphaltic material: one generally dispersed and the other harder like feet to arrest rapid settling.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

About all that can be reliably gained with a separate foundation resting on soil is the separate foundation can be thicker and proper width and length. This can be very important.
"Isolating" without genuine isolation (flexible, not bottomed out) materials all round is real chancy. Heroically deep trenches cut around vibrating machinery sadly often provide no signicant reduction in transmitted vibration

We use Chockfast Orange as a filler material.
You can get Chockfast in several different types
It's a product from: ITW Philadelphia Resins
Look at
