Seismic Isolation Plates

There are many applications for which seismic isolation plates are used. They are ideal for structures that are located in areas prone to earthquakes, as well as for structures where the vibrations from heavy traffic or construction can cause damage to the structure’s foundations. They provide protection for both residential and commercial buildings, bridges, and other structures that are constructed on solid ground.

Seismic isolation plates are designed to reduce the impact of seismic events on a structure by providing flexible support for the foundation, as well as its superstructure. There are two main types of seismic isolation plates: Continuous Isolation and Discontinuous Isolation. Continuous Isolation plates are designed to prevent the conduction of ground motion, offering protection even in the presence of intense seismic vibrations. Discontinuous Isolation plates, on the other hand, allow some of the ground motion to be transmitted through the plate, providing some measure of protection, but not as much as that provided by Continuous Isolation.

The plates are typically made from strong material such as steel or alloy, as well as rubber, that are arranged in layers in a specific orientation in order to redirect the seismic waves. The plates are normally placed between the building’s foundation and its superstructure, usually using some sort of anchor system, such as bolts or nuts.

Seismic isolation plates are designed to quickly absorb energy from the ground, minimizing the lateral and vertical movement of the building during an earthquake. They also minimize damage to the structure, as the energy is not transferred directly to it. Thus, these plates serve as an effective defense against a seismic event.

Seismic isolation plates have been widely used since the early 1960s and have been particularly successful in the retrofitting of existing buildings. Many nations have adopted seismic isolation systems in their codes and standards for buildings, including in the United States, Japan, and New Zealand. As of 2020, more than 3,000 buildings around the world had been retrofitted with seismic isolation plates, including iconic buildings such as Taipei 101 in Taiwan and the Christchurch Cathedral in New Zealand.

Seismic isolation plates can be expensive, but the cost is generally outweighed by their effectiveness in protecting a building from damage. They are also simple to implement, requiring minimal changes to the structure, and easy to maintain.

Overall, seismic isolation plates are an invaluable asset in the protection of buildings, bridges, and other structures from potential seismic damage. They offer a cost-effective solution that can help to ensure the safety and longevity of these important buildings and structures.

Shock Absorber Plate (also known as damping plate, buffering resistance plate) is a kind of equipment widely used in the electrical industry, mainly for absorbing vibration, reducing impact and reducing damaging noise。

The Shock Absorber Plate is composed of a number of spring and rubber components, it can absorb and dissipate incoming vibration and impact energy, more effectively reduce and avoid equipment resonance, maintain product accuracy and stability, and reduce the noise generated during operation。

The use of Shock Absorber Plate can also prevent resonance between equipment in the same place, reduce equipment vibration and improve the life of equipment。 Moreover, it can reduce the scattered space vibration caused by equipment resonance, and avoid the premise producing various annoying noise or cause discomfort。

In the electrical industry, the Shock Absorber Plate has a wide range of applications, such as motors, pumps, air compressors and other vibration machinery, as well as in electronic control cabinets and other shielding machinery。 Some vibration machinery can not be used normally without Shock Absorber Plate。

In general,the Shock Absorber Plate has good vibration reduction performance, simple structure and easy installation, which makes it the most basic vibration reduction equipment in the industrial application field。 It has great environmental protection performance and is essential for optimizing industrial production environment and prolonging the life of equipment。
