Marine XT Vibration Isolators
Marine vibration isolators with different stiffness characteristics in each axis, designed for engines generating high propeller thrust loads.
The AMC-MECANOCAUCHO® Marine XT vibration isolators are specifically designed for the elastic mounting of marine engines generating high thrust loads, while providing a high level of vibration isolation.
Their design allows the elastomer to work in compression and shear, providing different stiffness characteristics in all three axes. A high longitudinal stiffness helps control engine motion caused by propeller thrust, while lower stiffness in the other directions provides effective isolation of engine-generated vibrations.
This combination provides an excellent balance of vibration isolation, engine stability and motion control, particularly in installations where significant thrust loads are transmitted through the propulsion system.
Their rugged construction and resistance to oil, diesel fuel and harsh marine environments make Marine XT vibration isolators particularly suitable for propulsion engines and other onboard equipment subjected to high dynamic loads.
Technical characteristics
AMC-MECANOCAUCHO® Marine XT anti vibration mounts have a special design that provides 3 different stiffness values in the 3 different directions, the highest being the one in the longitudinal direction. This design allows the mounts to face high longitudinal loads (thrust loads produced by marine engines) while their low lateral and vertical stiffness values allow them to keep a high isolation level against the main excitations from the crankshaft of the engine (which occurs at the plane with the lowest stiffness values of the mount).
- The top metal hood protects the rubber from the Ozone, UV rays, diesel or oils which could damage the rubber.
- The metal parts have a suitable anticorrosive treatment for outdoor applications. RoHs compliant.
- They have an interlocking metal component that provides a fail-safe protection for mobile applications. This device limits vertical movement when the mounting is submitted to shock inputs.
- The mounts are clearly identified, the baseplates are engraved with the type and hardness making it possible to easily recognize the part even after several years of use.
- Maximum leveling: 3 mm. For further leveling, we recommend to use shims.
