Rubber Air Springs for a highly-effective vibration and shock isolation of machines and motors. The element is comprised of a bell-shaped rubber form made from high-grade elastomer. The design allows a highly-effective isolation of shocks and vibration without excessive horizontal deflection. Collapse of the element as a result of overload or sudden pressure reduction is impossible. The element is available with additional damping if a reduction in vertical amplitude is required. The baseplate is equipped with an anti-slip plate so there is no need to anchor the machine to the floor.
Please note: For installation outdoors (e.g. air conditioning) FAEBI® is also available in stainless steel and EPDM elastomer.
BILZ Leveling Systems
Level control is an important component in the optimal operation of an air spring system. If a change in load likely occurs on equipment mounted with an air spring system, such that compression of one of the springs or an inclination of the equipment will result, a leveling system might be the only solution available.
Shock and Vibration Isolation
Depending on static load, the natural frequency of the elements is between 3 and 6 Hz in the vertical. The ratio of vertical to horizontal natural frequency is 1/1.2. The maximal spring travel in case of impulse load is approximately 15 mm.
Range of Applications
Extraordinarily suitable for active isolation of high-speed printing presses, forging hammers and other machines and motors generating a large amount of dynamic vibration. Passive isolation of measurement and testing equipment as well as ultra-precise machine tools. If desired, also available with electronic or mechanical level control!
Installation Instructions
The elements are attached to the machine's mount holes using bolts. It is not necessary to bolt the elements to the floor. The machine is positioned on elements which are empty of air, these are then pumped up to the desired working height over a standard valve. The air pressure may not under any circumstances rise to above 5 or 6 bar. A maximum of 10 mm of travel is available for height adjustment.
Monitoring Air Pressure
FAEBI® elements can be equipped with air pressure monitors if desired. If the air pressure should drop below the nominal value, the air pressure monitor will display the fact accordingly
