Spring Isolator VT41XX

A very soft spring isolator with integrated adjustable snubbing. This isolator has a natural frequency between 5-9 Hz and a load range of 150-800 daN depending on which type you choose. Designed especially for suspension of mobile equipment for example suspension of propulsion engines, generating sets, compressors, deck houses etc.

Product Characteristics

A very soft isolator with integrated adjustable snubbing. Designed especially for suspension of mobile equipment.

Natural frequency: 5 – 9 Hz.
Maximum excitation amplitude: +1 mm
Mechanical strength: 5 g.
Temperature range: -90°C – +300°C.

Available in two different bottom plates. Please see our technical drawing for measurements.

Product Applications

Suspension of:

propulsion engines
generating sets
compressors

…and more

Notes

The built in snubbers must be adjusted when the suspended equipment has its working condition. The adjustment is done by turning the upper part of the housing until a distance (A) of 2 mm is reached between the house and the snubbing cushions.

The height (H) of the mount should be between 105 – 115 mm, depending on the load.

With correctly adjusted snubbers the maximum movement will be ± 4 mm in all directions.

Vibration Isolation of marine engines

If you are planning a midsummer trip in the Stockholm archipelago you can take one of the boats MS Sjögull or MS Sjöbris. You will get a smooth and silent journey as these have recently been renovated; the engines are suspended on Vibratec marine isolators VT41 (spring isolators) with the gear boxes on cushion isolators type VTCI.

Vibrations and high noise levels in your boat?

By using our elastic engine mounts PC 140-45, this boat was “cured”. The noise level was significantly reduced, and the vibrations are barely noticeable.
