Specification:
Vibration isolators shall be housed springs,
and shall consist of a steel spring and load cap housed in a cast semi-steel or
aluminum assembly, with adjustable side plate and sponge neoprene snubbers
designed to stabilize the isolators and prevent metal-to-metal connection of
top and bottom housing sections. The top housing section shall be drilled and
tapped and shall include a steel load transfer plate and leveling bolt, and
locknut. The bottom housing section shall be bonded to a 1/4" (13 mm)
thick ribbed neoprene noise isolation pad and shall be drilled to allow bolting
to the supporting structure.
Spring elements shall have a lateral stiffness greater than 1.0 times the rated vertical stiffness and shall be designed to provide a minimum of 50% overload capacity.
Springs shall be selected to provide operating static deflections shown on the Vibration Isolation Schedule or as indicated on the project documents. Springs shall be color coded or otherwise identified to indicate load capacity.
Vibration isolators shall be Model SM, as manufactured by Kinetics Noise Control, Inc.
