An insulation system’s performance is determined by its transmissibility, i.e. by the ratio between the energy introduced to the system and the energy leaving the system. Vibration control material is selected considering the placement of the system’s disrupting frequency in the insulation area. Additionally, the insul…

The performance of an isolation system is determined by the transmissibility of the system, the ratio of the Energy going into the system to the Energy coming out of the system. As a goal, vibration control design puts the disturbing frequency of the system in the isolation region The amount of damping in the isolation…

While cork has a higher loss factor than rubber – which is essential to the dampening function and consequent dissipation of energy – anti-vibration rubbers are isolative and offer very little damping. The combination of these two materials as a cork rubber composite brings added characteristics as a vibration isolatio…

Its negative carbon footprint, low thermal conductivity and sealing capacity, together with resistance to extreme temperatures and a high damping capacity are characteristics that make cork a raw material with enormous potential for this sector.  From electric mobility to wind and solar energy, Amorim Cork Composites e…

Vibration isolation is the most effective way to reduce structure-borne noise. Cork-based materials are highly resistant and, in addition to enabling vibration insulation, they also have good damping effects. Indoor acoustic performance is a key factor in increasing quality of life and I believe that cork-based materia…

The electrical industry's commitment to developing safer and more sustainable equipment delivers many benefits for people and the environment, but also leads to new challenges in terms of vibration and noise control. Cork composite solutions offer various benefits to respond to these new challenges, since their natural…

Exactly. Cork has been used in the Energy sector for a long time, in particular in the T&D Transmission and Distribution area (Power or Distribution Transformers). Cork is used as a sealing element, where unique combinations of cork and selected rubber create materials suitable for flat sealing applications which,…

Amorim T&D cork composite solutions have been designed and specifically tested for transmission and distribution equipment, in order to meet the needs of each application. Incorporation of cork in the material endows the solution with excellent conformability and reduced lateral expansion, essential characteristics…

Power transformers are often installed near residential areas, where strict noise requirements have been introduced. This has intensified the need to produce equipment that not only guarantees good long-term performance but also achieves greater vibration control and consequent noise reduction. It is often said that “j…
