Technical Specifications

Ring/Bushing Mounts

The Soundown Ring/Bushing Kits are two component mounts that are used in conjunction with a hold down bolt for the effective isolation of equipment or panels. Ring/Bushing Mounts derived their stiffness from the rubber hardness (durometer) as well as form factor. The shape of both Ring and Bushing allow for the rubber to flex into the cavities, providing high deflection at relatively light loads. These higher deflections translate into higher levels of isolation and low level of structure borne noise.

Ring/Bushing mounts consist of two isolating components, one ring and one bushing, that sit either side of the mounting bracket. The Ring is generally used as the support component of the mounts and loaded in compression by the item to be isolated. The ring is placed above the mounting foot to prevent a short circuit of vibration from the mount foot to the bolt.

With the bracket sandwiched between the two components it is completed isolated by the rubber components while remaining positively captured by the through bolt.

Standard equipment and panel mounting use two steel washers and a compression tube to preload the rubber and maintain tension on the bolt for a secure installation. Compression tubes are supplied longer than required by most application and should be cut to length per application. (See www.Soundown.com for complete instructions)

6 Series The 6 Series is the larges physical size of Ring/Bushing Mount and offer the largest amount of static deflection. With load ranges from 25lbs (11.5kG) to 350lbs (160kG) per point the 6 series can be used to obtain high deflection mounting of smaller components or installed with as many points as required to provide a high de-flection low clearance mounting of larger equipment. Common applications include:

Generators up to 99kW Air Conditioning Equipment Water makers Large Capacity Pumps Deisel Exhaust Components Large Fans

Mount Components

Ring

Bushing

4 Series The 4 Series Ring Bushings are the most popular size of the range as they offer a load range of 10 (4.5) to 75 (34) lbs(kg) per mount in a low profile format. This allows for installation in area where space is limited as well as for retrofit applications where equip-ment can handle only minor changes in location. Properly installed these mounts will provide excellent isolation with while only rais-ing the piece of equipment by ½” (12mm). Common applications include:

Generators up to 20 kW In Cabin Air Conditioning Equipment DomesticWater Pumps Fuel Polishers Mufflers Fans Isolation ofWall Panels

3 Series The 3 Series Ring Bushings are used to mount equipment with weights between 5(2.3) and 35(16) lbs(kgs) as well as engineered into other isolation systems. The compact size and range of loads that the 3 Series can handle make it an ideal mount for applica-tions such as hydraulic pipe hangers and interior systems such as ceiling grids and floated wall panels. Common applications include:

Hydraulic Pipe hangers Ceiling Grids Grey and Black water Circulation Pumps

Mount Components

1 Series The 1 Series Ring Bushings are extremely compact mounts capa-ble of effectively isolating loads as light as 1(0.45)lb(kg). Many small pieces of rotating or electronic equipment are installed in close proximity to occupied spaces and emit hums or buzzes that are often the source of complaints. 1 series ring bushings are highly effective at reducing or eliminationg these problem noises.

Common applications include:

Small transformers or Other Electronic Components Hydraulic Feedback Pumps LightWeight Hanger Systems
