Arcade machines require robust vibration damping systems to protect sensitive internal components, ensure stable gameplay, and enhance player immersion. The most common types include passive isolation mounts, active electronic systems, and specialized material solutions. Rubber isolators are widely used for their cost-effectiveness and durability, typically installed between the cabinet frame and internal assemblies. Spring-based damping systems provide superior shock absorption for heavier components like CRTs and power supplies. Sorbothane pads offer high-performance vibration attenuation through viscoelastic properties, effectively reducing high-frequency vibrations from speakers and coin mechanisms. Advanced arcades may incorporate active damping systems using sensors and counter-vibration mechanisms to neutralize oscillations in real-time. Additionally, specialized acoustic foam lining serves dual purposes of sound dampening and vibration reduction. The selection of appropriate damping systems depends on cabinet design, component weight distribution, and desired performance characteristics, with premium arcades often combining multiple approaches for optimal results.
