Kinetics Model AC Fiberglass Mounts are engineered vibration isolators used where reliable isolation of audible frequency vibration or noise is required. They are suitable for mechanical equipment with lowest operating speeds of 1750 RPM when installed on a grade-supported slab or pier.
The AC Fiberglass Mount is typically selected where predictable dynamic response, permanent load support characteristics, bolt-down installation, and vertical lift control are required. Each isolator consists of a molded inorganic fiberglass isolation pad bonded to a steel load transfer plate and formed steel bolt-down bracket. An equipment anchor bolt with neoprene grommet helps prevent metal-to-metal contact, supporting effective vibration isolation.
The fiberglass media is stabilized during manufacture and coated with a flexible, moisture-impervious elastomeric membrane. This construction helps provide constant natural frequency over a wide operating load range, high energy dissipation, and controlled viscous damping. AC Fiberglass Mounts are suitable for utility ventilating fans, vane axial fans, high-speed motors, roof-mounted exhaust fans, and similar mechanical equipment used in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, mechanical rooms, rooftop plant areas, and infrastructure projects across the Middle East.
Specification
