During the operation of presses, strong vibrations are caused by speed changes of moving parts, the impact of the ram and especially during cutting processes, which can lead to unacceptable disturbance and inconvenience in the neighbourhood. Elastic support provided by GERB spring units can considerably reduce the vibrations caused by the press. Reductions in the vibration speeds – as a yardstick for the assessment of the vibration – of about 80% and more are possible.
