Compressors installed in public transit vehicles are subjected both to vibration generated by their own operation and to shock and acceleration transmitted by the vehicle during service.
A properly engineered elastic mounting system isolates the compressor from the vehicle structure, reduces vibration transmission, and limits the dynamic loads acting on the equipment and its mounting points.
The isolation system must therefore provide the appropriate balance between vibration isolation, motion control, and resistance to dynamic loads encountered during vehicle operation.
Vibration isolators are installed between the compressor and the vehicle structure to provide an elastic connection that reduces vibration transmission while controlling movement caused by vehicle shock and acceleration.
Isolator selection depends on factors including compressor weight, load distribution, excitation frequencies, expected acceleration levels, and mounting configuration.
AMC MECANOCAUCHO offers a range of solutions for this application, including CB, FZ + Sylomer®, Bobbins, TFS, BRT, DRD, and Wire Rope, allowing the dynamic behavior of the isolation system to be matched to the requirements of each installation.
