Vibration and Shock Isolation Systems for Forging Hammers
Vibro/Dynamics offers three solutions to isolate the severe shock and vibration generated by forging hammers: FSV and FSX Viscous Damped Spring Mounts; MRM Isolation Elements;and VPS Pad Isolation Systems.
See comparison chart for the effectiveness of each type system.
FSV and FSX Viscous Damped Spring Mounts
FSV™ and FSX™ Spring Mounts provide the greatest amount of vibration and shock isolation available. Their low stiffness and natural
frequency results in shock isolation in the 80-90 percent range when comared to timber mounted installations.
Hammer motion is controlled by a sophisticated viscous damper design, providing a fast decay of motion between hammer blows. The damper is protected from contamination using a welded bead around the rim of the damper that keeps the seal from slipping off.
The heavy-duty, stress relieved fabrication is made to hold-up
under the severe operating conditions typical to the forging
industry. The FSV coil springs feature protective covers, while
the FSX coil springs are totally enclosed within the damper. Both models have rim mounted seals to protect the damper from contamination.
MRM and VPS Isolation Systems for Forging Hammers
MRM™ and VPS™ Isolation Systems are specially designed for
die forgers and drop hammers. These revolutionary new products have the simplicity of a layered elastomer system, with shock isolation effectiveness similar to
viscous spring isolators.
MRM Systems feature thicker, softer, elastomer
modules for greater vibration and shock control. Vertical dynamic natural frequencies as low as 8 Hz
are achievable. Typical isolation efficiency is 60-80%
reduction compared to traditional oak-timber systems.
VPS Systems use stiffer, higher load capacity, elastomer
modules for very effective vibration control in a more
economical package.
MRM and VPS Systems feature unitized construction.
Each Element is constructed using alternating layers of
custom elastomer modules and galvanized steel sheets
that are securely fastened together. The elastomer
modules are molded from proprietary compounds for superior shock isolation, durability, and creep
resistance. Each Element is encased in a protective
foam barrier for further protection against pit debris.
All MRM and VPS Elements are designed to be simply lowered into the foundation as complete units. No difficult and time-consuming layout and "in the pit" stacking of pads and plates is required! The unique design features of the MRM and VPS Isolation Systems result in superior shock isolation, trouble-free installations and long lasting performance.
