Measures Against Vibration and Shock

--- About vibration during transportation ---

 

Though there is no precise definition to describe the high frequency rate for vibration,

it is said that the rate is higher than 20Hz (1Hz =1vibration/1sec), and the high frequency can’t be prevented by the truck’s air suspension system.

Please see this video for the ZERO G series, a packaging material designed to be anti-vibration.

 



--- Shocking scene caused by vibration during transportation--- 

The products are damaged by vibration and shock in various occasions during the transportation as shown on the slides on the right side.

--- Vibration on the Loading Platform of Trucks  ---

 

The Unpreventable Vibration Even by Air Suspension of Trucks 

 

The loading platform of a truck is subject to vibration as it travels over the frame of the truck with the engine always rotating during transport.The suspension of the chassis may prevent vibration and impacts passing through the road, but it does not prevent vibrations and impacts transmitted by high frequencies through the engine to the loading platform.

 



---  Anti-Vibration Pallets  ---

 

Features in Steel Anti-Vibration Pallets 

 

Enabling to provide better vibration control than truck air-suspension 

Using superb materials in anti-vibration and durable ether-based polyurethane foam

Selecting appropriate materials according the products’ weight to keep the stable effectiveness 

Able to make custom sizes for fitting products in various sizes

Superior in durability

 

 Features in Wood Anti-Vibration Pallets

 

Enabling to provide better vibration control than truck air-suspension 

Using excellent vibration control material and ether-polyurethane foam superb in durability  

Choose the right cushion materials based on the weight of the product to maintain a stable effect.

Able to make custom-made sizes for products of different sizes

The low fare makes it suitable for one way transport.


The Anti-vibration pallet is a product jointly developed by Nabeya co., LTD and Musashi Trade Transport Co., Ltd.

 

Feature of Ether-based Polyurethane Foam Anti-Vibration Material 

 

Corresponds to the attenuation and shock absorption of continuous vibration

Attenuates at low frequency vibration

Enable to minimize creep deformation(deformation with age)

More than 20 types of materials that can withstand high-stress and vibration

Over 30 years of experience and solid reliability 

Excellent durability and longevity

Performance Verification in Anti-Vibration Palette

 

An actual vehicle running test of a car equipped with Anti-Vibration palette was conducted.

In the actual vehicle running test with Anti-vibration, it was verified that it reduced 21HZ high- frequency vibration compared to air-suspension vehicle.

Enable to suppress vibration and shock superior to air-suspension vehicle.

Please refer to the result of the actual running test shown below.

Floor Slab Anti-Vibration of the Same Specification As the Palette

 

Covers the loading platform of trucks and demonstrate high-perform Anti-Vibration effect 

Covers JR containers’ floor and enable to control vibration while traveling


---  JR Container Vibration Transport Test  ---

Today, the environmental problems such as CO2emissions due to global warming is drawing more attention in shifting to train transportation usage, however, the vibration during the cargo transportation makes the modal shift difficult for the products sensitive to vibration such as precision machines, therefore we have developed Anti-vibration floor to enhance the modal shift of JR container Anti-vibration transportation.

 

 

Conducting a comparison test in transportation with Anti-vibration palettes, floor slab Anti-Vibration, and regular palettes.
