Reciprocating air-compressors inherently generate high vibrational forces, which are transmitted to supporting structures and may result in a high level of acoustic noise. In many applications, this cannot be tolerated, and, therefore, an effective means of controlling the transmitted vibration energy between a compressor and its surroundings must be employed. In this paper, an analysis of a typical reciprocating actuator is described, and an active method for suppressing the transmission of vibrations is proposed.
Rens et al. (2001) studied this question.
