Choosing anti vibration pads for generators involves more than finding a pad that fits beneath the machine. A suitable pad should support the load and help reduce vibration passing into the floor or foundation. Before ordering, check these three details.
1. Generator Weight and Load per Support
Find out the generator’s operating weight and the number of mounting points. Each support may carry a different load, especially when heavier components sit towards one end. Share this information with your supplier so they can recommend a suitable pad size and load range.
2. Existing Mounts and Installation Location
Check whether your generator already has built-in vibration mounts. Adding another layer of pads may not improve performance. Also, explain whether the DG set stands on a ground-level foundation or an upper floor. Follow the generator manufacturer’s installation guidance before changing its supports.
3. Pad Material and Operating Conditions
Tell the supplier about possible oil exposure, heat, moisture and outdoor use. Different pad materials suit different conditions. Ask for the recommended load range and material details rather than choosing only by thickness or price.
