About Fibet

The Fibet Group is an independent family-run business founded in 1952 in Turin. Initially a producer of metal-elastomer bushes and associated vibration isolation components for the automotive industry, by the 1970s, the company had expanded to market sectors ranging from agriculture, railways, earthmoving machinery, automotive, marine and more. Today, Fibet has branches in Italy, the UK and China, and distribution branches in the US, Australia and South Africa. The result is a global R&D, testing and development capability to meet your most challenging vibration isolation requirements.

Our Markets

Fibet are renowned as one of the world leaders in the field of the mechanical application of elastomer, covering any market sector that demands a solution for a vibration issue.

Whilst our initial focus in 1952 was towards the development of solutions for the Automotive industry, our knowledge and technical expertise was then called upon to support other market sectors and industries to resolve any vibration problem that occurred.

We have now been operating specifically within this field of engineering for over 70 years, retaining our focus towards our core competence of providing effective vibration isolation solutions using Rubber to Metal Bonded principles as a basis for all our product offerings.

Anti Vibration Mounts

Vibration Isolation Systems & Components

Anti vibration mounts are the cost-effective components that absorb vibrations & noise from machines to minimise wear and tear. We supply industrial mounting products at low prices.

A significant amount of vibration will cause untold damage to machinery over the medium-long term and as such, it is important to ensure that machinery is well maintained in order to ensure of a smooth operation and long lifecycle. Rubber mounts, also known as anti vibration mounts, are the most cost-effective components that absorb vibration and noise from machines to minimise wear and tear.

Anti vibration rubber mounts prevent the vibrations which are emitted from a machine from spreading by acting as an isolator, instead absorbing the shocks and preventing the vibrations from travelling to surrounding machinery or structures. Anti vibration mounts are used to attenuate vibrations in industrial machinery and vehicles – a critical component in the reduction of unwanted vibrations. Anti vibration mounts are secured to machines, pipe works and duct work as a means of eliminating vibration and noise, in turn helping to extend the longevity, efficiency and safety of the equipment at hand.

Whilst an anti vibration mount is typically made out of rubber, or a combination of rubber mixed with other materials, the anti vibration mountings offer a more durable – effective solution.

It also makes the mounts easier to install and secure into position – when the design of the mount combines rubber steel sub-components. In turn, they can help to increase time between maintenance; reduce installation time; extend the machines lifespan and reduce vibration and transmitted noises.

Here at Fibet, we supply industrial mounting products at low prices and offer a comprehensive range of AV products so we stand out from other anti vibration mounts suppliers. Our range includes simple AV mounts as well as more technical mounts, including:

  • Engine Mounts – designed with integral fail-safe functionality as standard to protect the application in event of failure. In addition, in certain ranges – they are designed in a way that ensures that oils and lubricants are guided safely away from the Mount, thus maximising their lifespan.
  • Pedestal Mounts – a simpler design of Mount that offers a low cost solution and is used in installations that don’t need fail-safe functionality – usually where there are other factors to protect the two connecting parts in event of accident or failure of any kind.
  • Cab/Cone Mounts – primarily for use as Engine Mounting on car or commercial vehicles, as well as for radiators and chassis/bodywork elements. These again are by design fail-safe to assure that there is no risk of the two parts separating even in accident conditions.
  • Bobbin Mounts – these products are used in a significantly wide range of applications including Small Machinery, Instruments, Engines, Pumps, Radiators, Measurement Equipment, Computer Cabinets etc.
  • Buffers/Stops – these products are used where the application needs some form of limiter to prevent damage to the assembly. These can be offered as plain cylindrical profile, or even with a conical profile – the latter of which offers a more progressive action to slow down the action in a more controlled manner than a cylindrical buffer can offer.
  • Universal Mounts – these are usually designed to be simpler to install than other types of Mounts as they only need one hole to install in situ. These Mounts are primarily used in applications that don’t need much deflection in order to limit the amount of vibration that would otherwise be passing through.

The mount is made from natural rubber that is usually moulded onto steel components to aid installation and security. When the machinery is running, the mounts absorb and dampen the vibrations, which drastically reduces the vibration and noise output.

There are several indicators that will let you know if your mount needs replacing including:

  • Increased vibrations
  • Bumps or jolts in the machinery
  • Increased noise
  • Excessive wear in other components on the machine, including bearings, bolts shearing etc.
  • Particles of rubber surrounding the Mount positions.
  • A worn-out appearance

Anti vibration mounts can retain their performance in both hot and cold environments thanks to the properties of the rubber material. Natural rubber can handle temperatures ranging from -40°C through to 80°C and up to 100°C for short term – sporadic response.

As one of the top anti vibration mounts suppliers, Fibet have over 70 years of experience in the industry. If you are looking for any help or advice, simply ask one of our professional and friendly team for guidance and we will use our expertise to help you come up with the best solution.

There is no minimum order value, although any orders that are placed below £150.00 will be subjected to a £12.00 fee to cover Carriage and Administration. All orders above this amount are shipped carriage free.
