Product Description
TSC unit isolators are highly effective in reducing the transmission of vibration, structure-borne noise and shock from a wide range of rotating and reciprocating machinery and in protecting sensitive apparatus from external disturbances. They are particularly suitable for marine and mobile applications as internal snubbers are incorporated to control movement of the isolated machine.
Type approval by Det Norske Veritas and American Bureau of Shipping.
Design Features
• Helical steel spring to BS1726 Class B.
• Inclined rubber springs are first grade natural rubber to metal bonded elements.
• SG iron castings to BS EN 1563 EN-GJS-400/15.
• Steel spring in most variants is isolated from the top casting by resilient seating pad reducing transmission of high frequency vibration and effectively damping spring coil surge resonance.
• Springs are pre-compressed on assembly, resulting in high equivalent static deflection and load capacity with minimum change between loaded and unloaded height.
• Rubber spring elements are effectively protected by the top casting and its extended skirt.
• Both types of spring support a proportion of the total load and thus the overall rate of creep is much reduced compared to an equivalent all-rubber unit isolator.
• A selection of steel and rubber springs, each having different vertical and lateral stiffness closely controlled in manufacture is available to facilitate the choice of the most appropriate isolator characteristics for a particular application.
• Optional soleplate is available to facilitate installation on resin chocks.
• Optional proof plates are available to enable removal of mountings for refurbishment (marine propulsion engines only).
• Optional height adjuster is available to facilitate installation.
