Genflex Rubber Mounting for vibration and shock control - Resistoflex

GENFLEX RUBBER MOUNTING

Genflex mountings employ the well-proven inclined rubber element design to achieve much higher deflections compared to simple rubber-in-compression devices, thereby providing superior isolation of low-frequency vibration.

The pure rubber design offers excellent performance in the audible frequency range, which cannot be achieved with helical steel springs, even with so-called 'noise stop pads.' Natural rubber also provides inherent damping to control transient motion resulting from machine startup, rundown, and fault conditions.

For marine and mobile applications, a combined overload and rebound buffer is available in both the B range and HD (high deflection) variants.

DESIGN FEATURES

  • First grade natural rubber to metal bonded rectangular elements inclined to achieve maximum load and deflection using a combination of compression and shear loading.
  • Rubber elements effectively protected against oil contamination by the extended top skirt design of the top casting.
  • Two different horizontal stiffness axes enable optimum system characteristics and vibration isolation to be achieved using careful orientation of the mountings.
  • Marine/Mobile version available with combined overload and rebound buffer.
  • A ribbed rubber seating pad is available, obviating the need for costly HD bolts for many industrial applications.
  • Available with iron castings as standard and steel castings for shock applications.
