Premium control of vibration and noise in rugged off-highway environments plays a key role in delivering enhanced operator comfort. An increasingly shrinking labor pool of skilled machine operators has put a premium on mobile equipment that is both comfortable and easy to use. Parker Lord collaborates with OEMs to ensure that their next generation off-highway equipment platforms deliver increasingly higher levels of operator comfort. We do this by achieving the optimal balance between vibration isolation, damping, and motion control. This webinar explains why you should optimize operator cab isolation and how to do it effectively. Join us for an introduction to vibration, a discussion on elastomeric cab mount characteristics and considerations when selecting and incorporating an elastomeric vibration isolator in your next operator cab mounting system design.
