Description:
Kinetics Model FRS vibration isolators
consist of free-standing, large diameter, stable steel springs assembled into
top and bottom load plate assemblies, which provide vertical restraint in the
event load is removed or external forces are applied. Spring elements are
complete with 1/4" (6 mm) thick noise isolation pads, and they have an
adjusting and leveling bolt as part of the top load plate assembly. Holes are
provided for bolting to the structure, and the leveling bolt allows attachment
to the supported equipment. To assure stability, the springs have a lateral
stiffness greater than 0.8 times the rated vertical stiffness, and are designed
to provide a minimum of 50% overload capacity. FRS springs are available with
deflections from 1.00" to 2.00" (25 mm to 51 mm), and with capacities
from 35 to 3500 lbs. (16 kg to1588 kg).
Application:
Model FRS vertically restrained spring
isolation mounts are recommended as a noise and vibration isolator for
mechanical equipment located near critical areas, when it is desired to limit
upward travel during high wind loads, maintenance, or where external forces are
brought to bear on the supported equipment.
Kinetics Model FRS spring isolators are
recommended for the isolation of vibration produced by equipment subject to
weight change or external forces, such as air-cooled condensers, fans, and
other rooftop equipment. Model FRS springs are also recommended for the support
of vertical pipe risers, where uplight motion must be limited, yet the riser
isolated from the building.
Operating static deflections are available up to 2.00" (51 mm), in capacities of up to 3500 lbs. (1588 kg).
