Anti Vibration Mounts

Knitwire Trading (PTY) Ltd manufactures and supplies knitted wire anti-vibration mounts designed to control vibration, reduce noise, and improve durability in demanding industrial environments. Our components are widely used in automotive, power generation, processing, and heavy engineering applications where conventional elastomer or polymer mounts are unsuitable.

Knitted wire mesh anti-vibration mounts can be produced in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and densities. Components are easily integrated into assemblies by riveting, spot welding, or mechanical fastening, helping to minimise installation time and overall assembly costs.

Knitted wire mesh is particularly well suited to high-temperature applications where rubber or plastic mounts would degrade or fail. The metallic structure retains its mechanical properties under extreme heat, vibration, and thermal cycling.

Anti-vibration mounts supplied by Knitwire Trading (PTY) Ltd perform reliably in environments exposed to elevated temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, and continuous mechanical stress, delivering long service life with minimal maintenance.

Knitted wire anti-vibration mounts are used across a wide range of industries, including:

• Engine and gearbox mounts for automotive, marine, rail, and industrial equipment
• Turbochargers, exhaust systems, manifolds, and downpipes
• Heat shields and thermal isolation supports
• Power generation and rotating machinery
• Industrial plant and processing equipment

In many cases, vibration-induced noise can be significantly reduced by incorporating a knitted wire mesh ring, pad, rope, or mat into the assembly.

Anti-vibration mounts can be manufactured from stainless steel and other specialist alloys to suit the operating environment. Components can be riveted, spot welded, bonded, or mechanically fixed, offering flexibility for both new designs and retrofit installations.

The open structure of the knitted mesh allows for effective airflow and thermal dissipation while maintaining excellent vibration damping performance.

Every application presents unique challenges. The engineering team at Knitwire Trading (PTY) Ltd works closely with customers to define the optimal mesh density, wire diameter, geometry, and performance characteristics required to meet specific vibration frequencies, load conditions, and temperature limits.

All tooling is produced in-house, allowing custom anti-vibration components to be manufactured efficiently and enabling rapid response to design changes or prototype requirements.

• Custom Design Expertise: Our in-house design team develops solutions to meet your exact requirements.
• Flexible Manufacturing: With all tooling made internally, we can manufacture any custom shape or size efficiently.
• Cost-Effective Installation: Mounts can be installed using multiple fastening methods, reducing assembly costs.
• Extreme Conditions Ready: Performs reliably in high temperature and hostile environments where other materials fail.
