Arcade game machines utilize various vibration damping systems to enhance player experience and protect internal components. The most common types include rubber isolators, which absorb high-frequency vibrations through elastic deformation; spring dampers that handle low-frequency oscillations in racing and motion cabinets; foam padding applied to cabinet interiors for broad-spectrum noise reduction; sorbothane mounts providing superior impact absorption for delicate electronics; and tuned mass dampers in premium machines that counteract specific resonant frequencies. These systems work by converting mechanical energy into heat through viscoelastic materials, isolating sensitive components like monitors and PCBs from coin mechanism impacts and player interactions. Modern arcades often combine multiple approaches, with rubber-footed cabinets containing spring-mounted internal chassis becoming industry standard. Advanced systems may incorporate active electromagnetic dampers in motion simulators, while basic redemption games typically rely on simple EVA foam layers between mechanical components and outer shells.
