The AMC-MECANOCAUCHO® BRB captive mounts are designed with a high elastomer section, allowing the rubber to work in both compression and shear. This design provides greater deflection and lower natural frequencies, improving vibration isolation compared with stiffer captive mounts.
Their design incorporates an integral fail-safe restraint that limits excessive movement and helps retain the equipment when subjected to tensile forces, shocks or high dynamic loads.
Available in a wide range of sizes and rubber hardnesses, BRB captive mounts cover a broad range of loads and are particularly suitable for rotating machinery, engines, generator sets and mobile equipment exposed to vibration, shocks, oil or fuel splashes and demanding environmental conditions.
The top metal hood protects the rubber from the Ozone, UV rays, diesel or oils which 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, as the baseplates are engraved with the type and hardness, which makes it possible to easily recognise the part even after several years of use.
The top cap has a cross shaped indentation which enhances rigidity on mobile applications and also permits oils or liquids to flow off the mounting .
