TF Mount
Symmetrical, pre-compressed anti-vibration mount providing similar stiffness in tension and compression, with a fail-safe design for applications subjected to high dynamic loads.
The AMC-MECANOCAUCHO® TF anti-vibration mounts consist of two symmetrically shaped moulded elastomer elements, designed to operate effectively under both tensile and compressive loads, with similar stiffness characteristics in both directions.
The pre-compressed installation enables the mount to maintain controlled elastic behaviour when the direction of the load changes, making it particularly suitable for equipment subjected to vibration, shock and multidirectional dynamic loads.
The two elements are assembled with metal safety washers, creating a fail-safe configuration that limits excessive movement and provides mechanical retention of the equipment under severe loading conditions.
The level of pre-compression is determined by the chassis thickness at the mounting point. Correct dimensioning provides an optimum balance between vibration isolation, stability and mechanical safety.
Technical characteristics
The TF mounts must be installed according to the following installation instructions:
- They can be installed in frames of different thicknesses according to the values of T, given in the table below. The load vs. deformation curves will vary depending on the thickness of the frame on which the mount is installed. This thickness "T" determines the degree of precompression of the mount.
- For the correct installation of the mount, it is recommended to make a hole in the frame with diameter Q, given in the table below.
- The use of washers is recommended in the event that the support surface does not completely cover the rubber surface.
- Respect the tightening torque of the mount.
- In case of any doubt, contact the technical department.
