Compressed Air Basics Vibration Isolation

Your compressor shakes. The machinery in your shop shakes. When air goes through a pipe it shakes the pipe. The technical term for this shaking is vibration. There s vibration in nearly everything you use. Sometimes this vibration can cause machinery to fail and cause pipe fittings and welds to leak. Actually I should rephrase that .It will cause machinery to fail and cause pipe fittings and welds to leak if nothing is done about it. That s why every compressor must be isolated from vibration. There are two places that are a concern for every air compressor.
