VS Hy/Speed® Spring Isolators
Product Summary
Vibro/Dynamics Hy/Speed Spring Isolators feature a low frequency (2-3 Hz) design that is extremely effective in protecting sensitive areas from incoming vibration and shock. These Spring Mounts and anti-vibration isolators also effectively isolate the transmission of vibration and shock emitting from high-speed machinery.
Hy/Speed Spring Isolators come with either material or viscous damping, and optional built-in leveling is also available.
Typical Applications include isolated foundations, generators, HVAC chillers, pumps, and dynamically-balanced presses, metalforming presses, textile machinery, gear making equipment, and other high-speed equipment where the inertia forces must be isolated.
Key Features
- Built-in Precision Leveling
VSML and VSXL Series Hy/Speed Isolators are equipped with precision leveling screws for fast and easy leveling.
Precision leveling means better alignment of machine components, resulting in increased machine accuracy and improved machine and tooling life.
This built-in leveling capability lets you get into production faster by leveling your machines with far greater accuracy than the trial and error method offered by shims or grout.
- Viscous and Material Damping
Selecting the proper damping is essential for control of machine motion. This is why
Hy/Speed Isolators are available with either Material or Viscous damping.
- Viscous damping systems are best suited for machines that pass through resonance slowly and have large out-of-balance forces relative to machine weight or whose operating speed is close to the natural frequency of the isolation system (resonance).
- Material damping systems are best suited for machines that: have small out-of-balance forces relative to machine weight; pass through resonance quickly; and operate at least 1.42 times above the natural frequency of the isolators.
- Extra Vibration Protection and Uniform Support
Unlike conventional spring mounts, Hy/Speed Spring Isolators come equipped with a high-quality resilient cushion that provides a uniform contact surface between the isolator and the floor. This cushion also isolates high-frequency vibration caused by coil spring resonance.
- Built Tough to Last
Vibro/Dynamics combines its proven low-stress isolator design philosophy with high-quality materials to ensure the longest effective isolator life.
