Antivibration Elastic Pad with Metal Cover and a rubber Strip. The metal plate evenly distributes the load applied (according to ASHRAE guidelines) and protects the elastic part form UV exposure. Vibro-EP Metal Strip can be used as an antivibration mount for: Packed AHUs, fans, generator sets, cutting machines, etc. It can also be used for floating supports in industrial floors, elevators, printing machines etc.

Description

The Vibro-EP Metal Strip is a vibration isolation system composed of several key components: an elastic element with dimensions of 12.5 x 12.5 cm, a specially engineered galvanized metal cover, and a rubber strip. The strategic placement of the steel cover between the machine base and the rubber pad ensures that the load is uniformly distributed across the entire surface of the elastic component. This design not only optimizes the load distribution but also provides protection to the rubber from harmful solar radiation (UV), thus enhancing the longevity and effectiveness of the antivibration system.

The elastic pads, available in beige, green, and yellow, are made from Neoprene-type rubber. These pads are specifically chosen for their excellent resistance to various environmental factors, such as UV exposure, acids, and oil, making them particularly suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial applications. The Red, Blue, and Grey are composed of a special NR (Natural Rubber) compound, offering enhanced durability for more demanding applications. The Vibro-EP Metal Strip is available in three different stiffness levels.

The Vibro-EP Metal Strip anti-vibration pad with metal cover & rubber strip is particularly effective in situations where direct attachment to the machine is impractical or impossible but a uniform weight distribution is essential. The steel cover ensures that the load is evenly spread over the entire surface of the elastic element, thus preventing localized stress and ensuring optimal performance.

The semi-cylindrical bearing profile of the Vibro-EP Metal Strip also serves as a non-reinforced elastomeric bearing system, designed to absorb vibrations under heavy loads. Its unique corrugated shape not only provides excellent vibration isolation but also acts as an anti-slip surface, making it particularly well-suited for HVAC equipment, where stability is critical. This versatile system ensures efficient vibration isolation across a wide range of applications, providing both performance and protection in one comprehensive solution.

Other Forms

The VIBRO-EP rubber vibration isolation pads (standalone) are the core component of the Vibro-EP Metal Strip anti-vibration pad with metal cover & rubber Strip. These rubber pads have been the result of specialized research and development, with production in their current form beginning in 1989. Crafted from high-quality elastomeric materials, they are mixed with proprietary substances to enhance their performance and durability. The design of the pads features longitudinal holes, which not only facilitate increased compression but also significantly improve their ability to absorb vibrations.

When multiple VIBRO-EP rubber vibration isolator pads are stacked in layers, they can form the advanced Vibro-EP Complex. By incorporating a steel plate between these layers, the system can achieve a substantial reduction in natural frequency, lowering it to as low as 4 Hz. This makes the overall Vibro-EP system highly effective for isolating vibrations and enhancing performance in various applications.
