Knitted wire mesh for Anti-Vibration and Sound Attenuation components are commonly made of knitted stainless steel mesh. By compressing, forming or pressing, we can make it into different shapes (such as discs, cylinders, rings or squares), sizes, densities and materials.

We can use these metal cushions in their own right, conjunct with springs or other components to create more complex equipment mounting.

Specifications

Material: We can supply Anti Vibration mesh in a wide range of metal materials. Because we can drawing many of them into a wire form (filament). The most common knitted materials are

  • Stainless Steel: 304, 316, 310, 430, etc
  • Inconel, Copper, Brass, Nickel, Aluminum, etc

Shape and Size: Available in Disc, Circular, Ring, Square, Rectangular, Cube, Trapezoid, Cylindrical, Oval ,Strips, Other special form

knitted mesh rings Anti-Vibration
compressed knitted wire mesh with special shape

Density: By varying the weight of the knitted stainless steel wire mesh inserted into the compression die, we can change the density of knitted mesh Anti-Vibration.

Usages of Knitted Wire Mesh for Anti-Vibration and Sound Attenuation Components

Compressed knitted wire mesh are ideal elements for Anti-Vibration, Sound Attenuation and Heat Absorption. Because knitted wire mesh in a compressed form are highly effective absorbers of heat, noise and vibration energy. Moreover, metal cushions are also suitable for filtration, sealing, withstanding high shock loading, EMI shielding, etc. And these knitted wire mesh discs also provide good properties of heat and corrosion resistance.

  • Compressed knitted wire mesh provides isolation of vibration and shock. So with the addition of knitted wire mesh components, we can minimize vibration levels in machines and engines. And then we can protect delicate equipment, exhaust components, etc. In addition, radiated sound caused by vibrations can be cured. Knitted Wire Mesh Shock & Vibration Reduction can perform well in a wide range of environments by the selection of the proper material. For example, in corrosive atmospheres or at ultra high or low / cryogenic temperatures, as well as radioactive, dirty, oily, and other extreme conditions.
    • So why do we often want to absorb shock and vibration?
      • Because vibrations can cause:
        • Malfunctioning
        • Reduction of the machine lifespan, and may also cause reduction of the adjacent ones lifespan
        • Noise
  • Knitted wire mesh for Anti-Vibration and Sound Attenuation components has a tortuous air path with intricate passages. When sound energy enters compressed knitted wire mesh, the sound energy is absorbed into the wire structure, making the wire vibrate and converting the sound into thermal energy. So we can use metal cushions to attenuate sound by absorption.
