Indian Oil Corporation Limited R&D Centre at Faridabad was experiencing problem
with continuous operation of their Railway Axle Testing Machine, used to test
lubrication of Railway Axle Bearings, which help in smooth operation of trains.
Whenever the Grease Testing machine was in operation, the complete floor of
building was experiencing heavy vibrations generated by machine. Due to this, the
adjacent labs with high precision Electron Microscopes were not able to work.
Calculated results showed 90% isolation of vibrations generated by Railway Axle
testing machine.
However, after measurement by third party it was established there was 98%
reduction in vibration levels on the building floor.
