Vibration Vocabulary Paragraph 1

1. Emission Vibration created BY the machinery

2. Immission Vibration propagated TO the machinery.
3. Insulating device An apparatus that blocks sth out.
4. Machine mounting Support for fixing sth. (sujeción)

5. Sinusoidal Having a regular smooth repeated pattern.

(sinusoidal). Patron regularmente repetido
6. Dampening To make sth less strong. (amortiguación)
 Anchoring Machinery

Vibration
Today the reduction of vibration emission and vibration immission play an important part in the
operation of plant and machinery. The objective of using insulating devices for machine mounting
is the reduction of pulsating (repetitive), or sinusoidal vibrations. The task is to keep the motion
(amplitude) of the flexibly mounted machine within permissible limits for operation. The vibration
insulators selected must have sufficient dampening capacity.

Vibration Vocabulary Paragraph 2

1. Extend Scope, range (alcance, extension)

2. Speed/stroke rate Rango de velocidad /movimiento

3. Ratio Relationship between two things (ratio /indice)
4. Forcing Strength (potencia)

Vibration
The efficiency of vibration insulation depends to a large extent on the relationship between the machine
speed/stroke rate and the natural vibration frequency of the insulator (matching ratio). In general, it
can be said that the lower the natural vibration frequency of the insulator, i.e. the greater the ratio
between forcing frequency and natural frequency, the greater the efficiency of the insulator.

Vibracion
La eficiencia del aislante de vibracion depende en gran medida de la relacion entre el rango de
movimiento de la maquina y la frecuencia natural del aislante mismo (ratio correspondiente). En general,
Se puede decir que mientras menor sea la frecuencia natural de vibración del aislante, mayor sera el ratio
entre la frecuencia de potencia y la frecuencia natural, (y por ende) mayor sera la eficiencia del aislante.

Vibration Vocabulary Paragraph 3

1. Foundation Base of building (cimientos) /

Act of founding: fundación
2. Stabilize Make stable, steady (estabilizar)

3. Inertia Lack of activity or movement (inercia)

 Vibration

Vibration
The main purpose of the foundation is to stabilize the machine as well as to increase the moment of
Inertia. The foundation thus positively influences machine vibration by reducing the amplitude of
oscillation. It is wrong, however, to assume that any foundation large enough would eliminate all
vibration problems. It is important that as much information as possible be supplied regarding the
operation, location including ground type, condition where optimal performance is required and a
vibration analysis of the machine and site conditions. A correct isolation between machine foundation
and the surrounding area will result in trouble free operation.
