When testing high-performance machine parts, something as simple as choosing the right methods of eliminating noise and vibration can make all the difference. And one way to achieve the most accurate testing possible is with vibration dampening machine components.
For a new test stand that measures the performance of its hydraulic pumps for excavators, Kawasaki Precision Machinery found that installing rubber-metal isolators helped reduce noise and vibration, yielding more accurate results than in the past.
