INERTIA BASE

An inertia base is a structural support device designed to isolate heavy machinery or equipment from vibrations generated during operation. It typically consists of a heavy concrete or steel platform supported by vibration isolators, which are often elastomeric or spring-based elements. The inertia base absorbs and dissipates the vibrational energy, preventing it from being transmitted to the surrounding structure. This helps to minimize noise, prevent damage to nearby equipment or structures, and improve the performance and longevity of the supported machinery.
