Machines Isolation

Stravimech Bearing* isolation supports offer a simple and cost-effective vibration and impact isolation to a wide range of machines, such as compressors, pumps, air-handling and cooling units, moulding systems in foundry, textile machinery, vibrating machinery, etc.

CDM Stravitec offers three types of bearings:

Stravimech Bearing-Air, isolation systems intended for isolation at very low frequency
Stravimech Bearing-P, isolation resilient pads
Stravimech Bearing-S, isolation springs

Main Benefits

Temperature differences: significant stiffening effect at the glazing temperature around -35°C; significant softening effect when reaching temperatures around and above +100°C; in-between these extremes, the material characteristics can be considered fairly constant
Excellent electrical resistance
Good resistance to most oils and solvents (details available on request)
Very low natural frequency (< 3 Hz)
Frequency can be tuned to expected performance
Frictionless movement
Height regulation possible
Wide range of Stravimech Bearing systems available to cope with different requirements

Design Requirements

Weight and load distribution of the machine to be supported on Stravimech Bearing
Available space for the supports (surface and height)
Excitation frequency of the machine to be supported
The required vibration isolation performance or natural frequency of the solution
Specific conditions
Location of center of gravity of the machine to be isolated
Support surface layout
