Description:
Kinetics Model RQ Vibration Isolators are
one-piece molded neoprene mounts with encapsulated metal inserts. The metal
inserts provide all-directional resistance for horizontally and vertically
applied loads. Each isolator incorporates two bolt-down holes on the bottom
load surface and a steel top load plate for attachment to the supported
equipment. The neoprene is highly oil resistant and has been designed to
operate within the strain limits of the isolator to provide the maximum
isolation and longest life expectancy possible using neoprene compounds. Model
RQ is designed for up to 0.13" (3 mm) deflection, available in three sizes
and thirteen capacities from 210 lbs. to 1950 lbs. (95 kg to 885 kg). Kinetics
Model RQ is recommended for the isolation of vibration produced by small pumps,
vent sets, low pressure packaged air-handling units, etc., and is usually
selected when first cost must be minimized.
Typical applications of Model RQ neoprene
isolators are limited to isolation of mechanical equipment having lowest
operating speeds of 1750 RPM when located on a grade-supported slab, pier or
load bearing wall, and include close coupled pumps with motors of 5 H.P. or
less, small vent sets, low pressure packaged air-handling units, wall-mounted
electrical transformers and similar equipment types.
Model RQ neoprene isolation mounts can be
used for isolation of mechanical equipment specified to be supported by
neoprene rubber or elastomer isolators and with tabulated minimum static
deflections up to 0.13" (3 mm).
Model RQ neoprene isolation mounts are also
selected for use in seismic and windload restraint applications.
Specification
Vibration isolators shall be neoprene,
molded from oil-resistant compounds, with a cast-in-top steel load transfer
plate for bolting to supported equipment and a bolt-down plate with holes
provided for anchoring to the supporting structure. Isolator shall provide
lateral load resistance for loads applied parallel to mounting surface.
Neoprene vibration isolators shall have
minimum operating static deflections as shown on the Vibration Isolation
Schedule or as indicated on the project documents but not exceeding published
load capabilities.
Neoprene vibration isolators shall be Model RQ, by Kinetics Noise Control, Inc.
