What Does Our Range of Anti-Vibration Mounts Include?

Anti Vibration Mountings

If you work in engineering, manufacturing, automotive, agriculture, or any industry that relies on heavy machinery, you already know how destructive unchecked vibration can be. Over time, vibration causes wear, fatigue, noise, and ultimately failure  both in machinery and in the structures that support it. The right anti vibration motor mounts, anti vibration buffers, and rubber engine mounts can make an enormous difference to the longevity, safety, and efficiency of your equipment. At Fibet, we've been manufacturing and supplying high-quality anti-vibration products for over 70 years and our range is as comprehensive as it gets.

In this article, we walk you through the full scope of our product range so you can understand what we offer and why it matters for your application.

Why Anti-Vibration Mounts Matter

Before diving into the specifics, it's worth taking a moment to understand the role these products play. Anti-vibration mounts also referred to as AV mounts or rubber mounts — are components designed to absorb, dampen, and isolate vibration and noise generated by running machinery. They sit between the vibrating source and the surrounding structure, preventing energy from travelling and causing secondary damage.

Without them, even a well-maintained machine can shake itself  and everything around it  into an early grave. Bearings wear out faster, bolts shear off, housings crack, and noise levels rise well beyond acceptable limits. The right mounting solution doesn't just protect equipment; it reduces maintenance intervals, improves operator comfort, and extends the working life of your machinery considerably.

Most anti-vibration mounts are constructed from natural rubber bonded to steel components. This rubber-to-metal bonded design offers excellent vibration isolation while making installation straightforward and secure. Natural rubber performs across a wide temperature range from as low as -40°C up to 80°C, with short-term tolerance up to 100°C making it suitable for demanding environments.

Our Anti-Vibration Mount Range: A Full Overview

At Fibet, we supply a comprehensive range of AV mounting products that cater to everything from light machinery to heavy industrial and automotive applications. Here's what our range includes:

1. Rubber Engine Mounts

Our rubber engine mounts are among the most technically refined products in the range. Engineered with integral fail-safe functionality as standard, they are designed to protect the application even in the event of mount failure so the engine remains supported and the machine continues to operate safely.

In certain product lines, our rubber engine mounts are also designed to guide oils and lubricants safely away from the mount body, which prevents premature degradation of the rubber and maximises the lifespan of the component. These mounts are widely used across automotive, marine, agricultural, and industrial sectors where vibration control is critical for both performance and safety.

If your machinery relies on an engine whether it's a diesel generator, a marine motor, or an off-highway vehicle our rubber engine mounts are built to handle the job reliably, day in, day out.

2. Anti Vibration Motor Mounts

Electric motors, pumps, compressors, and fans all generate vibration during normal operation. Anti vibration motor mounts are designed specifically to isolate this vibration at the source, preventing it from transmitting into the supporting structure or connected equipment.

These mounts are particularly important in precision environments — such as measurement equipment, computer cabinets, instruments, and laboratory machinery — where even minor vibration can affect accuracy and performance. Our anti vibration motor mounts come in a variety of configurations to suit different load ratings, frequencies, and installation requirements.

Choosing the correct anti vibration motor mount comes down to several factors: the weight and speed of the motor, the frequency of vibration produced, the mounting orientation, and the environmental conditions it will face. Our team is on hand to help you specify exactly the right product.

3. Pedestal Mounts

Pedestal mounts offer a simpler, cost-effective solution for applications that don't require fail-safe functionality. These sandwich-style mounts are a popular choice in installations where other safety measures already exist to protect the two connecting parts in the event of mount failure or unexpected loads.

Despite their straightforward construction, pedestal mounts deliver reliable vibration isolation across a broad range of industrial applications. They are often used for HVAC systems, plant machinery bases, and general industrial equipment — anywhere that calls for a dependable, low-maintenance mounting solution.

4. Cab / Cone Mounts

Cab and cone mounts are primarily used for engine mounting in cars and commercial vehicles, as well as for radiators and chassis or bodywork elements. Like our engine mounts, these are designed to be fail-safe, ensuring there is no risk of the two connected parts separating — even under accident conditions.

Their conical geometry allows them to handle multi-directional loads effectively, making them well-suited to mobile machinery and vehicle applications where vibration and shock loads can come from multiple directions simultaneously.

5. Rubber Bobbin Mounts

Bobbin mounts are incredibly versatile. Used across a significantly wide range of applications  including small machinery, instruments, engines, pumps, radiators, measurement equipment, and computer cabinets they are one of the most commonly specified anti-vibration components in our catalogue.

Their simple threaded-stud design makes them quick and easy to install, and they are available in a range of sizes and rubber compounds to suit different load ratings and operating environments. Whether you need light-duty isolation for sensitive electronic equipment or medium-duty support for industrial pumps, there's a bobbin mount in our range to suit.

6. Anti Vibration Buffers and Rubber Stops

Our antivibration buffers also known as rubber stops or bump stops — are used where an application needs a physical limiter to prevent damage to the assembly. These are the products that step in when a component or piece of equipment reaches the end of its travel, absorbing the impact and preventing metal-to-metal contact.

We supply anti vibration buffers in both cylindrical and conical profiles. The cylindrical design offers consistent resistance throughout the stroke, while the conical profile delivers a more progressive action gradually increasing resistance as compression increases. This progressive response is ideal for applications where you need a gentler, more controlled deceleration rather than a hard stop.

Anti vibration buffers are widely used in automotive suspensions, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and materials handling systems. They are a critical line of defence against impact damage in high-cycle applications.

7. Rubber Bushes and Suspension Bushes

Rubberbushes and suspension bushes are bonded rubber-to-metal components used in pivot points, joints, and linkages to reduce vibration transmission and provide controlled flexibility. They allow for limited angular and axial movement while maintaining structural integrity — making them essential components in automotive suspension systems, off-highway vehicles, and agricultural machinery.

Our range of rubber and suspension bushes is extensive, covering a wide variety of sizes, rubber compounds, and bonding configurations to meet the demands of even the most challenging environments.

8. Universal Mounts

Universal mounts are designed with ease of installation in mind — they require just a single hole to be fitted in situ, making them a popular choice for applications where access is limited or where installation time needs to be minimised. They are primarily used in applications that don't require significant deflection but need to limit the vibration passing through the mounting point.

These mounts are a practical, no-fuss solution for light to medium vibration isolation requirements across a wide variety of general industrial and commercial applications.

9. Levelling Feet

Our levelling machine feet combine vibration isolation with the ability to level machinery on uneven floors. Adjustable and robust, they are used across manufacturing, food processing, and laboratory environments — anywhere that precision levelling and vibration control are both required.

Rubber Engine Mounts

How Do Anti-Vibration Mounts Suppress Vibration?

The mechanism is elegantly straightforward. Anti-vibration mounts are made from natural rubber  or specialist rubber compounds  that is moulded and bonded onto steel components. When machinery runs, the rubber within the mount absorbs and dampens the vibrational energy, acting as a barrier that prevents the vibration from travelling into the surrounding structure or connected equipment.

The rubber-to-metal bonding is critical here. It allows the mount to be securely fastened in place while the rubber element does the work of isolation. The result is a dramatic reduction in both vibration and noise levels — measurable and immediate.

How Do You Know When Anti-Vibration Mounts Need Replacing?

Even the best anti-vibration mounts have a finite lifespan. Here are the tell-tale signs that it's time for a replacement:

•  Increased vibration levels from machinery that previously ran smoothly

•  Unusual jolts or bumps during operation

•  A noticeable rise in noise levels

•  Excessive wear on other components, such as bearings or bolts shearing off

•  Rubber particles or debris around the mount positions

•  Visible cracking, splitting, or deterioration of the rubber element

If you're experiencing any of the above, it's worth getting your mounts inspected sooner rather than later. Leaving worn anti-vibration mounts in service can lead to accelerated damage across the wider assembly — costing far more in the long run than a timely replacement.
