Feet for machines or anti-vibration equipment

                   

Levelling Mounts - LEV

Height-adjustable machine feet from the LEV product group are maintenance-free and ready-for-installation. The precise, adjustable LEV machine feet are used whenever machines require an adjustable and stable positioning. Their function ensures the secure positioning of machinery and equipment,protecting them against damaging shocksand vibrations. LEV machine feet can be supplied in different sizes, from M10 to M24 threads, and can secure and bear loads in these sizes from 45 to 5,900 kg. The selection of suitable machine feet is simply made via the given mass of the machine or plant distributed among the desired support points. A weight distribution within the system must be considered in such a way that the feet are also measured with the associated load component. If additional dynamic loads are exerted by the machine or plant, the next largest type must be chosen in a borderline static load case. The mounts meet OSHA requirements for anchoring machines.

Soft Bell Mounts

Robust platform for low excitation frequency
Natural frequency from 3.7 Hz to 14.1 Hz
Guaranteeing optimum stability in demanding environments: These elements ensure effective protection, even under difficult conditions. This is made possible by ideal absorption of axial stresses and consequent limitation of lateral deformation. The flexible supports feature a "fail-safe" function that guarantees mechanical stability in the event of elastomer tearing. them ideally suited to safety-critical applications.

In addition to the various rubber compounds available, the range is also available in a stainless steel version.. Designed to operate in a temperature range from -40°C to 70°C, they can be installed in any direction, enabling use in push, pull or both directions.

Soft Bell Mounts effectively eliminate unwanted vibrations, particularly those generated by equipment such as generators, motors and systems operating at a frequency of around 25 Hz. This makes them particularly suitable for applications such as pumps and generators.

Light Bell Mounts

Incredibly light and versatile
Natural frequency from 8.3 Hz to 13.5 Hz

Universal self-protection: Light Bell Mounts, with their metal cover, provide reliable protection against ozone, UV rays, diesel and oils. Suitable for light loads, these vibration dampers feature corrosion protection on all metal parts as standard. In addition to the various rubber compounds available, these isolators are also available in stainless steel versions. Designed for temperature ranges from -40°C to 70°C, they can be installed in all space axes, enabling compression use, pull or both directions. Light Bell Mounts are "Faile-Safe" (a mechanical bond maintained in the event of elastomer tear), making them ideal for applications requiring high safety standards.

These insulators can be used in virtually any industrial application. They are particularly well suited to 1, 2 or 3-cylinder diesel engines, as well as pumps and generators.

Hard Bell Mounts

Highly resilient vibration isolators
Natural frequency 5.9 Hz to 35 Hz

Breakaway protection, even when things get tough: The Hard Bell Mounts product family cup elements protect constructions and components of all types against vibrations and impacts. They are characterised by their breakaway protection design, compact construction and customisable installation length. They can be installed in all directions. As standard, they are equipped with neoprene/natural rubber cushioning material and can also be covered with silicone for a highly dampening effect in extreme temperatures or for heavy impacts.

The machine elements can be used for all loads: shear, compression and tension. They are available with a central thread or a bore hole..

Compression Mounts - COM

The COM compression mounts are high-performance equipment mounting elementsfor vertical machine applications. These robust, neoprene elastomer equipment mounts are primarily used in heavy-duty applications, such as pumps and compressors. In their operating range, COMs exhibit a low natural frequency of approximately 8 to 15 Hz and can be coupled for certain applications, where by the natural system frequency can be further reduced to approximately 6 to 10 Hz (please refer to the selection diagram for more exact data). They are often used to solve unbalance problems resulting in machine shocks and vibrations that can have a negative impact on the surrounding area. Disturbance frequencies from 900 rpm (15 Hz) are effectively isolated. With excitation frequencies of 25 Hz, the degree of isolation of the COMs is 90%. Through the use of the high-performance equipment mountings, structure-borne noise paths are interrupted, preventing the generation of resonant sound.

Marine Mounts

Ideal for mobile applications
Natural frequency from 6.3 Hz to 13 Hz
Versatile, durable and maintenance-free: the Marine Mounts range of machine mounts are ready to use, and feature high breaking strength. Manufactured from galvanized metal, with a neoprene or natural rubber interior to act as a cushioning material, these mounts are designed to have a longitudinal stiffness two and a half times greater than the vertical stiffness, and a lateral stiffness equivalent to 75% of the vertical stiffness. This design enhances the robustness and versatility of these isolators. In addition, Marine Mounts feature a natural frequency of just 7.8 Hz under maximum load.

Typical applications include ship engines, diesel generators and other power generation equipment.

Cone Mounts

Shock and vibration dampers
Natural frequency from 5.5 Hz to 14.1 Hz

Combined shock and vibration absorbers: ACE's conical mounts can withstand high loads thanks to their compact design. Their special rubber profile allows simultaneous operation in radial and axial modes, ensuring effective vibration isolation even when the load varies in each axis.

Available in a variety of rubber compounds, these mounts are suitable for a wide range of loads. Their resistance to tearing is enhanced by the use of washers. Designed to operate in temperature ranges from -40°C to 70°C, they can be installed by all directions, enabling them to be used in both tension and compression.

Common applications include agricultural engineering, compressors, chassis, body components and general mechanical engineering.

Universal Mounts - UMO

Universal Mounts (UMO) aretwo-part isolatorsfor interconnect machines with bordering components, such as vehicle cabs, electronics and transmissions. The UMOs can be installed in any spatial position and effectively decouple two components from each other. A galvanized metal spacer is vulcanized into the elastomer cylinders. The UMOs can be used within the wide temperature range of -20 °F to +180 °F.

Bubble Mounts - BM

The BMlow frequency vibration dampers are used to isolate small devices, electronic components and control units. BMs are mainly used in vertical compression loads. They  effectively protect electronic or medical equipment against damaging vibrations and shocks.

All Altitude Mounts - AAM

The vibration isolation mount (All-Attitude Mount) of the AAM product group are maintenance free and ready-to-use isolators that can reduce vibration and shock in all directions. The isolation effect is achieved by a special neoprene-elastomer insert. For applications where impact resistance is also required, AAMs can also be manufactured with high-damping silicone. The mounts can be installed in all axes. The AAM range is used mainly for isolating lighter electronic equipment and components.

Flex Locs - FL

FLs areremovable,quick fastening elements for vibration isolation and shock absorption as well as a fastener, decoupling the structure-borne noise. They are designed so that only one element can be used to effectively decouple two components from each other by tightening a fastening screw. Standard metric screws (M3 to M8) can be used to tighten the connecting elements; no additional special tools are required. The FL elastic fasteners can be fixed via the screw connection into blind holes to connect panel elements to existing structures. The inner threaded insert serves as an expansion element for fastening. Made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), the material is resistant to ozone, oil and most acids. Standard FLs are available in five sizes from M3 to M8.
