Pre Compressed Springs Isolators  Pre Compressed Springs Isolators Application

“PSD” series are very low frequency and very high Viscous Damping Units fitted with a pre- compression device to facilitate adjustment at site and easy installation/removal.

The Isolator can be pre- compressed to its loaded height before installation using Jacks if required, and held in precompression by the Tie Bars. Once the equipment is installed, pre-compression is released by loosening the Tie-Bars.

Top and/or Bottom Friction pads for obviating the need of anchoring (bolting

Also available for bolting to the floor and/or supported equipment.

  • Load capacity up to 25000 Kgs
  • Resonance frequency: 3 Hz to 5 Hz
  • Damping: 8%-15% of critical
  • High radial stiffness to axial stiffness ratio
