Small-diameter pipework, including copper, steel and multilayer pipes, can transmit structure-borne vibration from HVAC equipment, pumps, compressors and refrigeration systems to the building structure. When rigidly fixed to walls, ceilings or steel supports, these vibrations can generate secondary airborne noise, resonances and acoustic discomfort in occupied spaces.
Resilient anti-vibration supports elastically decouple the pipework from the building structure, reducing vibration transmission, minimising noise propagation and protecting both the installation and its supports from long-term fatigue.
When pipework cannot be suspended directly from the building structure, a trapeze support frame is commonly used. Resilient spring isolators are installed between the support frame and the building structure to reduce the transmission of structure-borne vibration.
AMC medium-series spring isolators combine a low-frequency steel spring with a Sylomer® element that attenuates medium- and high-frequency vibration. This hybrid design provides broadband vibration isolation while ensuring stable support for the pipework.
Rigidly mounted pipes and lightweight ducts can transmit structure-borne vibration from HVAC equipment, refrigeration systems, pumps and hydraulic networks to the building structure. This vibration can propagate throughout the installation, generating structure-borne noise and acoustic discomfort in occupied areas.
AMC Mecanocaucho EP + Sylomer® resilient supports elastically decouple the pipe or duct from the wall, significantly reducing vibration transmission and improving the acoustic performance of the installation. The system is ideal for supporting vertical pipework and lightweight ductwork while maintaining secure and reliable fixing.
The Akustik Pipe Omega + Sylomer® is designed to isolate rigid and flexible pipework in both static and dynamic applications. Its removable Sylomer® insert simplifies installation and maintenance, while the corrosion-resistant metal housing provides a compact, secure and durable fixing.
By elastically decoupling the pipework from the supporting structure, the system significantly reduces the transmission of structure-borne vibration, improving the acoustic performance and long-term reliability of the installation.
