The noise and vibration problems created by injection molding machines can be moderated by the installation of absorbers. The pull rods of the machine, which are guided to the molding movements, might be a better location for mounting a spring, rubber or hybrid elastomer for energy absorption and reduction of noise and vibration. In this paper, some special washers are designed to fit the guide rods and performance tests are carried out. The results show that noise and vibration decreased over 10 dB and 2 times, respectively.
