Tech Products 51057 Stud Mount Vibration Isolator 16 Lb

Product Description

The TECH PRODUCTS 51057 is a stud-to-stud vibration isolator rated for a maximum load capacity of 16 pounds. This compact, round isolator is designed to absorb and dampen mechanical vibration between mounted components and supporting structures. It installs using a 10-32 threaded stud on both ends, making it well suited for applications where equipment vibration must be isolated from frames, panels, or mounting surfaces. The isolator measures 0.5625 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in height, with a thread length of 0.375 inches per stud. HVAC technicians, equipment installers, and mechanical contractors reach for this type of isolator when securing small motors, fans, compressors, and control components that generate vibration during operation.

This isolator is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, and other mechanical assemblies where vibration transmission needs to be controlled. Typical applications include mounting small fan motors, transformer brackets, control panels, and similar components to sheet metal enclosures or equipment frames. The 10-32 stud pattern is a standard thread size seen across a wide range of HVAC and mechanical equipment, making this isolator a go-to stock item for service technicians and contractors handling routine equipment maintenance or new installations.

Key Features

• 16 pound maximum load capacity rated for light-duty mechanical mounting applications
• 10-32 stud-to-stud mount configuration for straightforward installation on both sides

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service-stock vibration isolator for light commercial and residential mechanical equipment using 10-32 stud mounting configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing vibration isolators on any motor or mechanical component. Use appropriately sized hand tools to thread the studs into the mounting surface without overtightening, which can compress the isolator beyond its rated geometry and reduce isolation effectiveness. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance when fastening threaded components to the assembly.
