Transformers often experience vibrations generated by the magnetic flux and load cycles. Over time, these vibrations can lead to wear and tear or even structural damage. Cork’s natural damping properties make it an ideal choice for vibration control pads. By absorbing and dissipating vibrational energy, cork reduces no…

Discover how our Amorim T&D VC2100 can make a change in the lifetime of your equipment.

The project uses the Alom rail fastening system, NZL49, that features cork-rubber vibration control rail pads and baseplates. The combination of these materials effectively reduces noise and vibrations at source, significantly minimizing negative impacts on residents living near the metro line.

One notable example of cork–rubber rail pads in action is Amsterdam’s Metro Line 52, a technically demanding project due to the city’s soft subsoil and need for vibration control. Using Amorim’s cork–rubber pads as part of the NZL49 fastening system, the line was able to meet strict acoustic and structural requirements…

Power transformers are often installed near residential areas, where strict noise requirements have been introduced. This has intensified the need to produce equipment that not only guarantees good long-term performance but also achieves greater vibration control and consequent noise reduction. It is often said that “j…

Amorim Cork Solutions develops and supplies a complete range of engineered materials for track infrastructure, including Under Ballast Mats (UBMs), Floating Slab Mats (FSMs), rail pads, and baseplate pads. These components play a critical role in reducing vibration, mitigating noise, and enhancing the longevity of rail…

Amorim T&D cork composite solutions have been designed and specifically tested for transmission and distribution equipment, in order to meet the needs of each application. Incorporation of cork in the material endows the solution with excellent conformability and reduced lateral expansion, essential characteristics…

Noise pollution is a serious environmental problem in European cities, that has been recognised by the World Health Organisation. The main sources of pollution in urban areas are road, rail and air traffic, and industry (EEA Report: Environmental noise in Europe , 2020). However, since this is not a new problem, the co…
