Trelleborg Anti-vibration Solutions

Trelleborg anti-vibration solutions is a major department of Trelleborg company, with applications in the marine, industrial and mass-transit sectors. Trelleborg specializes in isolation and suspension solutions offering high-quality and durable products.

Vibration and noise have a major negative impact on all related systems, the environment, and in the case of a ship, even on the crew and its passengers. Special attention must be paid to the exhaust line and its course and auxiliary engine and generator mounts. The exhaust line system must be capable of handling the stress caused by thermal expansions and contractions. Generators and their surrounding construction must also be protected from vibrations.

Anti-vibration solutions can also improve passengers’ and crew’s safety and working conditions. Moreover, we can achieve the ship’s compliance with safety acts more easily.

Trelleborg Technology

A global specialist in polymer engineering, TRELLEBORG Antivibration Solutions supplies market-leading solutions which minimize vibration effects and deliver improvements that people can feel physically. Passengers feel more comfortable due to lower vibrations. Crew can feel better protected and their working conditions are improved. Marine companies can reduce maintenance and the cost of ownership. They can also feel the confidence that comes from partnering with a world-class manufacturer. Through cutting-edge solutions and a dedicated team with expert knowledge, Trelleborg delivers advanced vibration isolation and shock control to keep vessels and equipment performing reliably and efficiently.

Engine-caused vibrations need to be isolated in order to minimize the effects on the vessel, its equipment, and its crew. TRELLEBORG’s flexible solution for exhaust line LEXSYS®, has been specifically developed to cope with these typical challenges.

LEXSYS® components combine technologically advanced engineering skills with the experience in vibration and noise control that Trelleborg has acquired over the years. Our products ensure that thermal expansions and contractions are completely compensated within the exhaust line and minimize the impact of engine-caused vibrations and noise.

The system protects the exhaust line and the hull of the ship by fully compensating for the thermal expansion and contraction within the exhaust line itself. Also, the system isolates the vibrations and noise caused by the engine.

Advantages of using Trelleborg Anti-Vibration Solutions

TRELLEBORG product line can guarantee the flawless function of the engines exhaust lines and is built up from the following components:

• Stainless Steel expansion joints (Balance® series)
• Fixed supporting points
• Sliding points
• Deck conducts and rain caps

The use of vibration isolators for generator systems has many advantages:

• No transmission of vibration to the environment. Crew and passengers feel more comfortable
• Protection of the generator set and the surrounding construction
• Better working conditions (compliance with the working conditions & safety act)
• Lower maintenance cost, reduced downtime
