Kinetics RD/RDS Neoprene Vibration Isolation Mounts are one-piece molded neoprene isolators engineered to reduce high-frequency vibration from HVAC, MEP and mechanical equipment. Available in load capacities from 55 to 4,000 lbs. (25 to 1,814 kg) with static deflection up to 0.50″ (13 mm), RD mounts provide durable floor-mounted vibration isolation, while the RDS option adds seismic and wind restraint for projects across the UAE, GCC, Middle East and MENA region.
Engineered for Performance.
Kinetics RD/RDS Neoprene Vibration Isolation Mounts are one-piece molded elastomeric isolators designed to reduce the transmission of high-frequency vibration from HVAC, MEP and mechanical equipment into the supporting building structure.
RD/RDS mounts are recommended for small pumps, vent sets, low-pressure packaged air-handling units and similar mechanical equipment located on grade-supported structural slabs or piers. Typical applications include mechanical equipment with lowest operating speeds of approximately 1750 RPM and close-coupled pumps with motors of 5 HP or less.
Kinetics RD/RDS are molded neoprene vibration isolation mounts designed to reduce high-frequency vibration from HVAC, MEP and mechanical equipment. RD/RDS mounts provide static deflection up to 0.50″ (13 mm) and load capacities from 55 to 4,000 lbs. (25 to 1,814 kg). Model RD provides standard elastomeric vibration isolation, while Model RDS adds a seismic and wind restraint housing for appropriate restrained equipment installations.
Each RD/RDS vibration isolator incorporates an oil-resistant molded neoprene element with encapsulated metal inserts. A tapped steel top load plate provides attachment to the supported equipment, while the base incorporates an encapsulated drilled steel anchor plate, non-skid ribs and two bolt-down holes for secure installation.
Kinetics RD/RDS mounts are designed for tabulated static deflection up to 0.50″ (13 mm), providing significantly greater elastomeric deflection than conventional thin vibration isolation pads.
The product range is available in four sizes and eleven load capacities from 55 lbs. to 4,000 lbs. (25 kg to 1,814 kg). Each mount is color coded to identify its load capacity, helping engineers and contractors coordinate isolator selection with equipment support loads and project vibration isolation schedules.
Kinetics RD is the standard molded neoprene vibration isolation mount for appropriate floor-mounted mechanical equipment.
Kinetics RDS incorporates the RD neoprene isolator within a seismic and wind restraint housing. The restrained configuration is intended for projects where vibration isolation must be coordinated with seismic or wind-load requirements and applicable building-code criteria.

Neoprene vibration isolation mounts reduce the transfer of high-frequency vibration from mechanical equipment into floors, slabs and supporting structures. Kinetics RD/RDS mounts are typically used for small pumps, ventilation equipment, packaged air-handling units and similar HVAC and MEP equipment.

RD/RDS mounts are available in four sizes and eleven capacities ranging from 55 to 4,000 lbs. (25 to 1,814 kg).
The RD is a molded neoprene vibration isolation mount for appropriate mechanical equipment. The RDS uses the neoprene isolator with an additional seismic and wind restraint housing for applications requiring restrained equipment support.
Yes. Typical applications include small pumps, vent sets, low-pressure packaged air-handling units and similar mechanical equipment with lowest operating speeds around 1750 RPM when installed on an appropriate grade-supported slab or pier.
Yes. Model RDS incorporates a seismic and wind restraint housing. Final restraint and anchorage design must correspond with the applicable project seismic or wind loads and engineering requirements.
Select the mount according to the load carried at each equipment support point, required static deflection, equipment operating speed and project vibration isolation schedule. Unequal equipment weight distribution must be considered when selecting individual mount capacities.
Install each RD/RDS neoprene vibration isolator beneath the designated equipment support point in accordance with the approved vibration isolation schedule, equipment layout and project documentation.
Ensure that the supporting slab or pier is structurally suitable, clean and level before positioning the mounts.
Select individual mounts according to the actual operating load at each equipment support point. Do not assume equal load distribution unless it has been confirmed from the equipment weight distribution and centre of gravity.
Position each isolator so that the equipment load is properly transferred through the integral top steel load plate. Secure the equipment to the tapped top plate using the specified attachment method.
Where structural anchorage is required, use the provided base bolt-down locations and coordinate anchorage with the approved project details.
Verify that each installed mount operates within its specified load range and achieves the required static deflection shown on the project vibration isolation schedule.
For RDS installations requiring seismic or wind restraint, coordinate mount capacity, restraint housing, equipment attachment and structural anchorage with the applicable project design forces and approved engineering requirements.
Final installation must follow the current Kinetics installation instructions, approved submittal drawings and project specifications.
