About AirLoc
AirLoc AG, headquartered in Oetwil am See near Zurich, specialises in vibration technology, structure-borne sound isolation and machine installation technology. The company produces precision levelling mounts, levelling elements, isolation plates (Series 400, 700, 900, composite plates), fastening systems as well as accessories such as disc springs, isolation washers and heavy-duty anchors. As a system supplier, AirLoc offers the complete service from planning through to installation – including foundation vibration isolation for machine foundations, even for large foundation blocks weighing several thousand tonnes. An in-house test laboratory enables vibration measurements using an FFT analyzer as well as determination of the static load distribution of machines with the DYNO-METER measuring system. The products are manufactured in-house with a high level of vertical integration; materials include elastomers, thermoplastics, steel and stainless steel (INOX). The main industries are printing machine construction (newspaper rotary presses) and general mechanical engineering. Via a worldwide sales network, AirLoc supplies customers all over the globe; more than a thousand installations of foundation vibration isolation have been realised to date.

Materials and Processes
Elastomers
Material of the isolation plates and levelling elements for vibration isolation; the natural frequency is determined by laboratory measurements as a function of the specific load.
Thermoplastic
Plastic material for the PR series levelling elements.
Steel
Material for levelling mounts, fastening systems and accessories such as anchors and screws.
Stainless steel (INOX)
Stainless steel version for the PRGI and GLRI levelling elements.
