Response Acceleration<br />

Fig. 5 shows acceleration response magnification at different points in the equipment, top,<br />

middle and bottom. <strong>The</strong> figure shows that installing vibration control device reduced response<br />

acceleration at the top of the equipment 13% in the X direction and 15% in the Y direction at<br />

AT04, and 21% in the X direction and 29% in the Y direction at AT06. At AT08, 36% reduction<br />

in response acceleration was found in the Y direction, but no vibration control effect was<br />
