SSA, SSB,SSC-type Vibration Isolators

To optimize the selection of a vibration isolator one should consider:

  • device’s full mass
  • amount of points of support
  • load concentration on a point of support
  • rotational speed of spinning/rotating elements
  • fixing method to a mounted device

Order of operations:

  1. lift a machine
  2. fix the upper guide bushing to the holes in a device’s base or support frame
  3. fix the lower guide bushing to the support structure – make sure that coaxiality is kept between the upper and lower guide bushings
  4. lay the compression springs on the lower guide bushing
  5. lower a device inserting the upper guide bushings in the compression springs
