Description:
Kinetics Model FLS Vibration Isolators
consist of free-standing large diameter laterally stabile steel springs
assembled into welded steel housing assemblies fabricated to limit vertical
movement of the isolated equipment if equipment loads are reduced, or if the
equipment is subjected to large external forces. The housings also provide a
constant free and operating height to facilitate installation. Spring elements
are complete with internal noise isolation pads and have an adjusting and
leveling bolt as a part of the top load plate assembly. Springs are epoxy
powder coated, with a 1000 hour salt spray rating per ASTM B-117. Holes are
provided in all isolators for bolting to the structure and to the supported
equipment. The isolator can be welded to the structure as well. To assure
stability, the springs have a lateral spring stiffness greater than 1.2 times
the rated vertical stiffness, and are designed to provide a minimum of 50%
overload capacity. FLS springs are available with deflections to 4" (102
mm) and with load capacities to 23,200 lbs. (10,524 kg) as standard products.
Custom isolators with higher deflections and greater load capabilities are also
available.
Application
Kinetics Model FLS vertically restrained
spring isolation mounts are recommended as a noise and vibration isolator for
mechanical equipment located near critically quiet areas, when the equipment to
be isolated has significant changes of weight during maintenance operations,
and for equipment subjected to external forces or high wind loads. Model FLS
mounts are typically used to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration
into supporting structures from equipment carrying a large fluid load that may
be drained, such as boilers, cooling tower and chillers, and cooling towers
which also require hold-down for wind loads.
Operating static deflections are available up to 4" (102 mm) to compensate for long span flexible floor structures and maintain a high degree of noise and vibration isolation.
