Vibration control of mechanical equipment in an earthquake is an issue that should be paid special attention to. One of the most useful components in terms of its control are spring shock absorbers, which are compared to Vibrations of rubber grippers have more deflection. The problem is that the resonance frequency can be synchronized with the frequency of the earthquake, which means that in an earthquake the spring starts to vibrate and It’s "jump" causes the movement of the mechanical equipment.
Moving the equipment can cause a lot of damage (damage to the equipment, lack of efficiency, cut and broken connections, etc.), it also causes human injuries and even the death of people. Due to the risks, it is necessary to use shock absorbers in earthquake-prone areas that have the conditions and control of the created vibration at the time of danger. The criteria, design and suggestions presented in this report are about the correct use of seismographs along with capabilities for mechanical equipment and systems in Chile. Additionally, some of the damage caused by the 8.8 magnitude Chile earthquake on February 27, 2010 has been shown.
