The mount that isolates train toilet modules, compressed in our laboratory up to 51 kg and unloaded: it deflects only 0.2 mm, because it is stiff on purpose. You can also see its natural frequency against load.

Solid line: loading. Dashed: unloading. The shaded area between them is the energy the mount turns into heat on every cycle — that is its damping.

Description

Silentflex® oval base metallic silentblock is a 100% metal vibration isolator made of zinc-nickel treated steel with an all-metal damping cushion as a shock-absorbing (elastic) element. The metal cushion, unlike traditional rubber, is much stronger, more reliable and durable, does not require maintenance and replacement for many years, and is not affected by aggressive substances and corrosion. The oval base metallic vibration isolator works in both axial and radial directions, both in compression and in tension, and effectively minimizes vibrations of medium and high frequencies.

It is used in transport (especially in railway) and industry (for example, in manufacturing, generating and pumping equipment).

Key features of the Silentflex® oval base metallic silentblock:

  • High natural frequency from 40 to 60 Hz;
  • Operation in all weather conditions;
  • Fire resistance;
  • Reliability and durability of the vibration mounts;
  • Work in axial and radial directions;
  • Work in compression and tension.
