Description

Kinetics Model SL Spring Vibration Isolators consist of high deflection, color-coded stabile springs assembled into telescoping cast iron or aluminum housings which are complete with a 1/4" (6 mm) thick ribbed noise isolation pad bonded to the lower load surface and with an adjusting and leveling bolt as a part of the top assembly. Slots or holes are provided in all isolators for bolting to the structure. Model SL Spring Isolators are designed with a pre-adjusted snubbing feature to reduce movement during start-up and shut-down. Model SL Spring Isolators are available in deflections up to 1.84" (47 mm), and with load capacities from 35 to 3500 lbs. (16 to 1588 kg). Springs are epoxy powder coated, with a 1000 hour salt spray rating per ASTM B-117. Kinetics Model SL Spring Isolators are typically used to isolate vibration produced by mechanical, industrial, or process machinery where more damping is required and less motion can be tolerated than with free-standing spring isolators. Internal leveling can be provided as an option, as can molded fiberglass noise pads.

Application

Kinetics Model SLKinetics Model SL housed spring isolator mounts are used to isolate high and low frequency vibration generated by floor-mounted mechanical equipment located in non-critical areas.

Model SL mounts are typically used to isolate lightweight mechanical equipment, having lowest operating speeds of 1200 RPM, located on grade-supported slabs, or short structural floor spans, when the isolator-to-equipment connection is such that a leveling bolt can extend above the mount and act as a leveling and attachment bolt for supported equipment.

Model SL isolators are available as Model SLI and are typically used as above except that connection to supported equipment must be by a flat friction plate and level adjustment must be internal to the mount to allow access to adjustment bolts.

Model SL isolators are available as Model SLP and are used as above except that connections to equipment require a centering pin and level adjustment must be internal to the mount to allow access to adjustment bolts.
