Yacmo interactive showroom in 3 minutes
What you will find in the showroom
You will find out not only about the products, but also about vibration in general!
Vibrations are sensed.
Reproduction of long-span steel-framed floors that are prone to swaying
A portion of the showroom is built to approximate the characteristics of long-span steel-framed floors, which are relatively prone to vibration problems.
The natural frequency is 7Hz, which people are sensitive to, and the damping is about 1%, reproducing a floor where vibration is hard to be contained.
Quantify human gait and sway
The vibration simulator reproduces a wide range of vibrations, from walking and running to fitness and longitudinal motions, vibrations of equipment and machinery, and traffic vibrations of large vehicles and trains, allowing visitors to experience the shaking of the floor that they feel inside the building.
In addition, visitors can experience vibrations in accordance with the "Habitability Evaluation Criteria (Guidelines)" of the Architectural Institute of Japan, which are used to evaluate floor shaking. By linking the vibration evaluation with your own senses, such as the degree of concern, discomfort level, V-90, V-70, etc., which are difficult to visualize with only numerical values and words, you will be able to understand more deeply.
The wind sway of the building can now be felt.
Horizontal Vibration Simulator
You can feel the wind sway of the building!
Since people rarely have the opportunity to experience horizontal shaking in their daily lives, it is difficult to explain the sensation in words.
With the specifications of the planned or actual building, you can reproduce the shaking during high winds and experience the effects of the measures taken with the vibration control system.
It is also useful for sharing images with business partners.
feature
- The ability to see and feel the vibration values helps to confirm the design values and explain how it shakes.
- With the specifications of the planned or actual building, you can reproduce the shaking during high winds and experience the effects of the measures taken with the vibration control system.
- It is transportable and can be used for a wide range of purposes, including in-house training and hands-on experience for clients.
You can experience it at our Tokyo showroom, but please apply in advance using the form linked below, as it is available by appointment.
Shows the effect of vibration reduction
Experiencing equipment machine vibration control with AMD vibration control equipment
The exhibit will reproduce the vibration of equipment and machinery at a factory that we have assisted with vibration control measures, allowing visitors to experience the effects of the AMD vibration control device.
How much 20 gal vibration was actually occurring, and how much would 10 dB of vibration reduction by AMD change that? You can see that the following is a good example.
Please take a look at the video below to see how it is being experienced.
Uncomfortable shaking quickly subsides! Experience the effects of ultra-thin TMD
The ultra-slim size TMD Floormate, which fits under OA floors, is on display.
By vibrating the floor with the heel, you can experience how quickly the floor shaking subsides.
Shows the vibration control performance of the newly developed AMD for buildings
We are exhibiting a miniature model of our newly developed horizontal AMD for wind sway and traffic vibration control of mid-rise buildings. Please come and see how the building's swaying quickly subsides with its superior vibration control performance.
Know the actual size and fit
Floating structure with anti-vibration rubber
The meeting space at the back of the showroom is a floating structure in which the suspended ceiling vibration isolation "seal hanger," the vibration isolation floating wall "round vibration isolation rubber," and the vibration isolation floating floor "YS construction method" are actually used. Part of the space is skeletonized, so please take a look at how it is used.
Compact seismic isolator for server racks
NEW Server Utena," a seismic isolator for new server racks, is on display. Please take a look at its compact size that does not protrude from the rack. You can also push it by hand to move it back and forth, left and right, to see how it works.
Know the case, consult and understand the case
Some examples of actual vibration countermeasures and environmental improvements that Yacmo has implemented are shown below.
Our staff, who have experience in various vibration and noise issues, will also be present, so if you have any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Various Usage Methods
In addition to viewing the exhibits, the room can also be used for this type of use!
Confirmation of target design values
As a decision-making tool for environmental vibration design
- I'm considering vibrations with this kind of excitation force, but I wonder how it actually shakes?
- I got these numbers from the simulation results, is this a problem?
If you have any of these questions, please send your excitation force data to Yacmo. Our staff will faithfully reproduce the floor acceleration!
Please use the actual vibration experience to link simulation results with your experience and to confirm target design values.
Explanation to the client
Experience and determine where to drop the target value!
In environmental vibration design, the process by which the designer explains and obtains agreement from the building owner is important.
However, vibration is felt differently by different people, and some people find it bothersome even when it is generally considered not to be bothersome.
In some cases, after the construction, people have trouble saying, "I didn't think the vibration would be this loud.
To prevent this from happening, please have the client experience the actual vibration and use it as an explanatory material for the target design values!
Courses and Seminars
For young employees and those who want to learn the basics of vibration and sound
The showroom is equipped with a large screen.
Please use it as a training place for young employees and others.
What are seismic isolation, vibration control, and anti-seismic measures? What kind of measures are vibration control and anti-vibration?
What is a vibration level? How do you look at a vibration graph? We will explain the basics of vibration control such as

Guide
In the spring of 2026, Yacmo will transform itself from a showroom where people can "see, touch, and feel" Yacmo's technologies to a "living showroom" where clients, partners, local residents, and all other stakeholders and Yacmo employees can gather to co-create. Yacmo's showroom will be reborn as an "active showroom" where all stakeholders, including clients, partners and local residents, and Yacmo employees can gather to co-create.
