Isolating damper - Import export

With maintenance-free Levelmount® machine supports, EFFBE meets the high expectations for the elastic support of machinery, plant and equipment. Thanks to our sophisticated logistics, we deliver most EFFBE parts directly from stock without delay. Nowadays, in the installation of machinery ever greater demands are placed on elastic supports: It is important to combine increased work performance with optimized production processes and greater environmental awareness, from vibration protection and noise insulation to vibration decoupling. EFFBE faces up to this challenge with maintenance-free Levelmount® machine supports, which keep rational, reliable production planning free from structural and environmental constraints. We offer vibration dampers and vibration isolators tailored exactly to your needs to reduce the transmission of vibrations - right through to vibration decoupling.

If, on the contrary, a fixed bearing is desired, guides are added parallel to both axes, so that movement is completely blocked. Each elemental layer, subject to stresses and movements, deflects

The bearings we have defined so far are the basic types, which constant feature is the fact that they allow all-ways movements and rotation. However, movements can be limited in one or all ways, thus obtaining guided or fixed bearings, respectively. In the first case -guided bearings- the restriction is obtained by means of guides parallel to the supporting axe that allows movement. To make friction as low as possible, PTFE and stainless steel sheets are welded to the guides.

These isolators are the combination of a bearing and dampers in a single device; the latter are typically hysteretic dampers of steel and/or fluid viscous dampers. As such, they are characterized by a high damping capacity. The bearing can be multidirectional or unidirectional. Isolators can also include shock transmitters or mechanical fuse restraints. Experimental hysteretic cycles of a flat sliding isolator with steel hysteretic dampers. Installation of a flat sliding isolator with steel hysteretic dampers, at the Santuario 'Madonna delle Lacrime' of Siracusa. Flat sliding isolators with steel hysteretic dampers, installed in the railway lines "Caracas-Cua" and "La Encrucijada-Puerto Cabello", Venezuela.

Adding some supplementary features to the basic bearing types, FIP INDUSTRIALE can also produce special bearings, suitable for targeted purposes. These are the main types: Negative load bearings Also known as "anti-lifting" or "double-acting" bearings. These devices are also capable of resisting vertical tension loads, commonly denominated "negative". Load measuring bearings They permit in-situ measuring of vertical loads acting on the bearings. Depending on the technology used, measurements can be made next to the bearing or remotely, at any time of the bearing life span. Bearings with dampers These are a combination of one multidirectional or unidirectional bearing with hysteretic and/or viscous dampers. They are also called "flat sliding isolators with dampers". Bearings with shock transmitters Sliding bearings coupled with shock transmitters. In case of sudden movements, for example seismic movements, the shock transmitters prevent the relative movements of the structural eleme
