Manufactured at the German location, BILZ products meet the highest quality standards, offer short delivery times, and provide durable systems that comply with the “Made in Germany” standards.
objective OF VIBRATION ISOLATION
Vibration isolation refers to the decoupling of disturbing forces and vibrations. This reduces the transmission from one body to another. This effect always works in both directions – from the machine to the environment as well as in the opposite direction.
objective OF VIBRATION DAMPING
Vibration damping is required for vibrations or shocks caused by periodic or impact forces. Suitable vibration damping can convert vibration energy into heat (friction), thereby reducing disturbances in the surrounding environment.
The higher the damping, the faster a vibration will dissipate.
Since every industrial facility has its own specific requirements and challenges, we offer customized solutions for vibration decoupling. Our experts work closely with you to ensure that each solution is optimally integrated and effective, allowing your equipment to operate more efficiently and last longer.
With over 40 years of industry experience and an unwavering commitment to innovation, we at BILZ set technological standards. Our advanced vibration decoupling technologies are the result of intensive research and development aimed at boosting productivity and minimizing operating costs.
By reducing structure-borne noise and vibrations, our vibration decoupling solutions contribute to a healthier environment and improved workplace well-being. For example, using the FAEBI® rubber air spring isolator can also prevent the transmission of structure-borne sound.

FAQ Vibration Damping
Where can I find tips on trouble-free machine installation in industry?
The movement of a machine after its isolation can increase, since the dynamics are converted into kinetic energy. Kindly contact our sales department if you have any queries.
As experts in vibration technology, we would be happy to advise you on the precise configuration of your machine installation.
What solutions are there for shock absorbing a machine?
The essential characteristics of shocks are their duration, course and intensity. To achieve shock isolation, e.g. of presses, die cutters or hammers, the interfering impulse, comprising a high force peak working over a short span of time, is transformed into an impulse, which lasts for a longer time but causes only small residual forces.
Contrary to the periodically excited vibrations, the absorbed system oscillates at the excited inherent frequency of the isolated machine and not according to the excitation, e.g. the stroke rate. This can be compared, for example, with a tuning fork, which always generates a sound at a constant pitch.
Depending on the kind of impulse to be dampened, Bilz offers fully adjusted solutions; you can find current examples here to see some industrial applications of the Bilz solutions for impact absorption. We will be happy to advise you.
What types of vibration damping systems does BILZ offer?
BILZ’s broad product portfolio offers different variants of vibration isolators. These include:
- Isolation plates (elastomer dampers)
- Rubber air springs (stiffness depends on Shore hardness and air pressure)
- Membrane air springs (mechanically adjustable damping)
- Electronic control systems (EPN, EPPC, AIS)
How is the right damping system selected?
Key data required includes machine weight, dimensions, center of gravity, number of support points, disturbance frequency, and possible dynamic mass shifts or accelerations. For more information, please visit Contact and use the contact form ‘Machine Installation Inquiry’.
How does BILZ vibration damping support Industry 4.0?
BILZ’s electronic leveling systems provide real-time stabilization and data exchange via interfaces like Ethernet. This supports automation and self-optimizing processes in smart factories. In networked Industry 4.0 environments, this ensures a reliable database – a decisive factor for automated, self-optimizing processes.
