Description:
Kinetics Model SM 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. Holes or
slots are provided in all isolators for bolting to the structure. Model SM Spring
Isolators are designed with an adjustable snubbing feature to reduce movement
during start-up and shut-down. Model SM Spring Isolators are available in
deflections up to 1.79" (46 mm) and with load capacities from 250 to 5900
lbs. (113 to 2676 kg). Springs are epoxy powder coated, with a 1000 hour salt
spray rating per ASTM B-117. Kinetics Model SM 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 fiber glass noise pads.
Application:
Kinetics Model SM housed spring isolators
are used to isolate high and low frequency vibration, and to allow adjustable
damping of vertical motion, generated by floor-mounted mechanical equipment and
industrial machinery located in critical or non-critical areas.
Model SM mounts are typically used to isolate and reduce vertical motion of mechanical and industrial equipment, having lowest operating speeds of 1200 RPM or higher, 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 isolator and act as a leveling and attachment bolt for supported equipment.
Model SM isolators are available with internal leveling, if the connection to supported equipment must be by a flat plate. Isolators should be specified Model SMI.
Model SM isolators are available as Model SMP 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.
