The AMC-MECANOCAUCHO® Cone Mounts with slots are rubber-to-metal mounts designed to provide effective vibration isolation with different stiffness characteristics along each axis.
The cavities incorporated into the elastomer modify the elastic behaviour of the mount depending on the direction of the applied load. This makes it possible to achieve lower stiffness along a specific axis, while maintaining higher stiffness in the other directions.
This characteristic is particularly beneficial when the application requires a lower natural frequency in a specific direction to improve vibration isolation, while maintaining stability and movement control along the other axes.
The conical geometry also allows the elastomer to work in compression and shear, providing multidirectional behaviour suitable for both static and dynamic loads.
Thanks to this combination of different stiffness characteristics, vibration isolation, stability and robustness, these mounts are particularly suitable for engines, generator sets, auxiliary machinery, industrial vehicles and mobile machinery.
The AMC-Mecanocaucho® Cone mounts are safe and stable elements. They do not allow the suspended elements to tilt, whilst being flexible enough to avoid the transmission of noise and vibration through the support structure.
They are supplied complete with bump stop and centering washers. This renders deflection above the limits of the Mecanocaucho® Cones impossible, even at extreme loads.
The washers protect the natural rubber (which is highly elastic and highly resistant) from ozone and ageing, as well as from metal knocks and dripping oil. The characteristic deflection curves of the AMC-Mecanocaucho® Cone mounts with centering washer are quite linear, increasing progressively as the load increases. Thanks to this they can safely dampen overloads of up to three times the maximum admissible load.
The cutouts on the rubber section offer different horizontal/vertical stiffness ratios. This feature is especially interesting far those applications where a lower stiffness is required in one of the axes. Our technical department can provide you the elastical constants and can recommend you the optimal position of the cutouts.
