Flange Mounts for Vibration Isolation
When it comes to isolating vibration, controlling shock and reducing noise connected with equipment and machinery vibration, flange mounts perform very well in every three regards. The Vibro-Isolator series is specially effective in applications where there are dynamic vibrational forces at play in multiple directions. That is because they can control the vibration from all directions. They also offer superior protection against structural borne vibration. Their axial to radial stiffness ratio is close to 1 to 1 1. This means that they are able to bear both axial and radial loads. Indeed, Vibro-Isolators support axial loads ranging from 20 pounds (9 kg) completely around 2600 (1180 kg) pounds.
Flange mounts are also sometimes described by other names like safetied tube mounts, 500 series mounts, all altitude mounts and low profile mounts. Whichever name they go by they offer the same reliable vibration isolation and control.
Where are these kind of mounts most commonly encountered? Some the many applications include marine engines, shipping containers, lift trucks, trucks, farm equipment, generators, shipping containers, transportation, construction, rail, portable equipment, compressors, military applications, off highway, machinery, pumps and centrifuges, trailers, radiators, engines, cabs, HVAC, fans and blowers.
For those charged with installation, the most effective properties associated with flange mounts is that they are easy to mount. In MS Flange , if a snubbing washer is used, the mounting process is virtually foolproof. Installation occurs through the mounted equipment's support structure. A mounting hole through the support enables such installation.
Another attractive feature of the mounts is they are competitively priced compared to other vibration control options. Also, users will enjoy a long service life with little to no maintenance required over the flange mount's lifespan.
As a side benefit, flange mounts reduce structure-borne noise concurrently they are controlling the vibration that causes such sound. Because of this, they have the added benefit of helping to protect the hearing of these who routinely work in vibrational-heavy jobs.
The Vibro-Isolator group of flange mounts accommodate both English and Metric bolts so that users around the globe can take advantage of all the perks they must offer. This particular line is available in seven different sizes to accommodate a wide range of applications. They also can be found in several fabrications, including neoprene, natural rubber and nitrile (Buna-N). Finally, Vibro-Isolator flange mounts are proudly manufactured in the USA.
