In order to determine the transmitted force, the FREQUENCY and forces being generated must be known as well as the characteristics of the soil, foundation, and machine CONSTRUCTION. Many of the variables influencing the magnitude of the input forces are not known or even measurable. 

Factors that STRONGLY influence the transmitted force:

1. Machine construction
2. Structural response of machine to SHOCK
3. Stamping OPERATION (i.e., blanking, coining, drawing, etc.) 
4. Soil conditions
5. Foundation size and rigidity
6. Die design
7. Material properties
8. Isolator properties

Estimates of transmitted forces can be made, but they are only estimates. Vibration isolators are the most important factor in reducing transmitted vibration. However, the vibration isolators must be given the proper conditions to function at peak efficiency.
