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.
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).
