Product Description

The Rubber Turret Mounts FA consist of rubber cones vulcanised onto galvanised steel discs. These mounts are manufactured using natural rubber. There are two versions available: solid and hollow (white mounts), with the hollow versions having lower maximum load capacities.

Applications

These vibration mounts are designed to isolate noise and vibrations from smaller machinery and installations such as fans, pumps, electric motors, compressors, converters, and vibration tables. They provide good deflection, resulting in effective vibration isolation. Additionally, the FA range can be used for passive insulation against external vibrations affecting sensitive equipment like radio transmitters, measuring instruments, navigational devices, and during transport.

Technical Specifications

Performance Characteristics

The mounts exhibit a relationship between load and deflection, indicating their vibration isolation capacity. Various graphs (not included here) illustrate load versus deflection for different mount types and sizes, showing that as load increases, deflection increases up to a maximum limit. This behavior is critical for selecting the appropriate mount based on the machinery weight and desired vibration isolation.

Additional Product Ranges and Data

The document also references other mount series such as AD, ADF, ADM, ADP, GB, SCB, FDA, and SANDWICH series, each with specific load and deflection characteristics. These series cover a wide range of load capacities from small (a few kilograms) to very large loads (up to 16,000 kg and beyond), with corresponding deflection and natural frequency data to assist in precise vibration isolation design.

Key Recommendations and Best Practices

• Select mounts based on maximum load and required deflection to ensure effective vibration isolation without overloading the mount.
• Consider rubber hardness and type (solid vs hollow) as these affect load capacity and deflection.
• Use mounts not only for isolating machinery vibrations but also for protecting sensitive equipment from external vibrations.
• Refer to load-deflection curves for each mount type to optimize performance and longevity.
