I have an automated storage and retrieval application which requires mounting a control panel on a mobile crane. Movement of the crane will cause considerable vibration in excess of typical PLC specs. Is anyone aware of a manufacturer of a vibration damping mount for control panels/industrial enclosures?

 

Try Lord Corporation ( "www.lord.com":http://www.lord.com ). They have a line of industrial products mountings that are available from distributors. I have used their products successfully on a number of projects like the one you describe.

 

The Thomas Register has lots of companies listed that provide vibration/shock mounts. Lord co. is one at "www.lordmpd.com":http://www.lordmpd.com . I've used products from Vibration Mountings and Controls, Inc. to mount electronics units in a tracked vehicle that shakes horribly. Their URL is "www.vmc-kdc.com":http://www.vmc-kdc.com .::
