Cone bearing with star base and slots in the elastomer is a conical anti-vibration device featuring hollow holes (hollow slots) in the elastomer part, which guarantee a certain degree of freedom of movement in a specific direction. This design feature offers unique advantages, making these mounts particularly suitable for certain operating conditions. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits and unique features of this configuration.
Benefits
- Controlled freedom of movement. The empty slots in the elastomer (the rubber or polymer part of the mount) allow the mount to be more flexible in a specific direction, usually horizontal or radial, while maintaining rigidity in other directions (e.g., axial). This ensures effective vibration damping in situations where loads are predominantly unidirectional, such as in the lateral movements of vehicle cabins (tractors, excavators, trucks) or when driving on uneven surfaces. This configuration minimizes the transmission of vibrations to the cabin, improving operator comfort.
- Greater adaptability and durability. The cavities in the elastomer reduce internal stresses in the material during deformation, increasing the longevity of the support. These allow the elastomer to better absorb the energy of vibrations and shocks, preventing premature deterioration. In addition, this structure ensures a softer response to dynamic loads, which is crucial in environments subject to intense and frequent vibrations, such as in agricultural or construction machinery.
Features and areas of application
Anti-vibration mounts with hollow slots in the elastomer are used in contexts that require a balance between effective vibration damping and controlled freedom of movement in a specific direction. These mounts are ideal for vehicle cabins, where it is necessary to compensate for lateral or horizontal vibrations caused by uneven ground or engine operation. They are also used in industrial installations, such as ventilation systems or compressors, where flexibility in one direction is required while maintaining the overall stability of the structure. The hollow slot design makes these mounts versatile for applications where comfort and protection of equipment from wear are essential.
In summary, hollow slots in the elastomer ensure controlled mobility, better vibration absorption, and longer life, making these mounts an optimal choice for complex operating conditions that require a balance between flexibility and stability.
