 To realize the full potential of production machinery, quality control or laboratory equipment, it is necessary to create an isolated environment that controls vibration and provides a rigid base on which to secure the equipment and obtain accurate alignment. This environment can be created effectively and permanently with the construction of an isolated inertia block foundation. An isolated inertia block foundation consists of a concrete mass with a suitable isolator. Together these provide a system natural frequency that will isolate the sensitive machine from vibrations occurring in the environment, and control the vibrations from a source machine. The concrete mass also functions as a rigid anchoring base, required to assure permanent alignment of the machine. This rigidity has become increasingly important as many machine builders have replaced cast iron bases with weldments to accommodate the demand for more varied designs.  Felts engineered for consistent isolation performance for machines with moderate isolation requirements. System natural frequencies as low as 10 - 12 Hz.
 Cost effective, low natural frequency (4 - 7 Hz) isolation system for very sensitive machine installations.
 High degree of isolation system for extremely heavy loads. 5 Hz natural frequency with load sensing and distribution. RG units permit servicing without jacking the foundation.
