New vibration damper means no great shakes
Elesa has introduced a new range of AISI 316 stainless steel wire rope vibration dampers
A new wire rope series of vibration dampers has been introduced by Elesa. It adds to the company's rubber-based vibration damper family of mounts and buffers, commonly used across industry for the isolation of equipment where vibration is a major issue. Elesa's new AVC wire rope series incorporates AISI 316 stainless steel which is wound into helical loops to take advantage of a spring damping function derived from the innate elastic and frictional properties of its rope construction.
The design allows a high range of deformation that makes it suitable for use in the mounting of a variety of equipment including gensets, robotic bases and stabilising platforms amongst more. Other typical applications for the new damper mounts include the mounting of electrical cabinets, HVAC, transport platforms and marine equipment.
The AVC series is suitable for mounting in both the horizontal and vertical planes and thanks to stainless steel construction, can be used in a wide range of temperatures and environments. The high range of deformation (in comparison to other materials) is coupled with the level of resistance to ageing and atmospheric conditions provided by stainless steel. Elesa says that the new mounts are excellent for shock attenuation as they operate with low natural frequencies to give a fast damping effect which is also resistant to fatigue. An added bonus is that they are also maintenance free.
Wire rope mounts/isolators in the AVC series are said to offer a cost effective, long term solution in load capacities from 50N up to 3000N without the need for regular maintenance or replacement.
