Vibration Solutions for Farming and Agriculture

Agricultural and farming operations rely on high-performance solutions to minimize the potential damage that vibrations and shock can cause to heavy equipment and machinery. Because they operate in harsh environments with more demanding workloads, these machines require protection to help maximize their service life while reducing repairs and maintenance requirements. In addition, vibration-reduction equipment can help maintain the accuracy and precision of sensitive electronic devices, including onboard computers and global positioning systems (GPS).

 

Wire rope isolators are among the most effective solutions for agricultural equipment because of their maintenance-free installation, highly durable construction, long product life and outstanding ability to protect against vibration and shock. These isolation systems come in numerous designs, sizes and mounting options to accommodate multiple equipment types. At IDC, we offer various off-the-shelf and tailor-made solutions to meet your protection needs. 

Vibration Reduction in Agricultural Machinery and Farm Equipment

Our wire rope isolators feature helical-wound cables made from high-grade stainless steel. These devices offer a comprehensive benefit range in a single design, from providing shock protection and noise attenuation to delivering vibration control and motion stability. 

Several examples of the farming and agricultural applications our products serve include:

TRACTORS

Tractors are among the most critical machines for various farming tasks, including plowing, tilling and hauling. They often experience intense vibration and shock from uneven terrain, rough surfaces and heavy loads. Vibration and shock control equipment help reduce wear and tear on tractors and ensure smoother operation.

HARVESTERS

Harvesters feature complex mechanical systems that generate vibrations when harvesting crops like grains, fruits and vegetables. Vibration control equipment can help minimize these vibrations, preventing damage to sensitive components and improving the machine's operational efficiency.

HANDLING & STORAGE

Vibration and shock generated while operating handling and storage equipment like conveyors, elevators and grain silos can cause equipment damage and product loss. Rope isolators help mitigate these effects and protect equipment investments.

Vibration Isolation for Agriculture

Several examples of the rope isolator solutions we offer at IDC include:

  • M Series: Our M Series isolators deliver multi-axis isolation to provide a versatile solution for an extensive application range.
  • SB Series: IDC’s SB Series isolators use a more compact design with shorter bars and coils to function in condensed spaces.
  • SM Series: Our SM Series isolators utilize an S-shaped design to provide exceptional balance and support in addition to outstanding vertical stability and strength.
  • XM Series: IDC’s XM Series isolators feature an X-shape design that delivers symmetrical balance and superior torsional resistance for lighter-weight applications.
