TSC Type T3

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. Alternative lightweight aluminium castings to BS EN 1706.

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.

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.

Combined rebound and overloaded buffer is adjustable to permit optimum setting to be achieved throughout service life.

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).

Available with 4 x M20 upper fixings as standard. Options available for 4 and 2 hole upper fixings in other sizes.
