Abstract

An embedded unit for a concrete foundation is used for the fixing of elastic machine bearing elements in the concrete foundation. The embedded unit is constructed from a plurality of rods and metal sheets which are fitted together while forming damping joints. This type of an embedded unit dampens the machine vibrations entering into the foundation, may have a high impedance, and can be sufficiently anchored in concrete material.
