Description
Double U Shear Mounts – Heavy Duty Rubber Vibration Isolators
Overview
Double U shear mounts are heavy-duty rubber vibration isolators that utilize rubber in shear mode to provide high deflection and excellent vibration isolation. The double-U configuration offers increased flexibility and movement capacity compared to single shear designs, making them ideal for compressors, blowers, fans and industrial machinery and equipment requiring significant vibration control.
Features
- Rubber-in-shear design for high deflection
- Double U-shape provides enhanced flexibility
- Heavy-duty housing and mounting plates
- High load capacity for industrial equipment
- Excellent vibration isolation at low frequencies
Applications
Double U shear mounts are used for:
- Large industrial compressors and refrigeration equipment
- Fans, Blowers
- Process equipment and industrial machinery
- Material handling equipment and conveyors
- Textile machinery and manufacturing equipment
Benefits
- Reduces low-frequency vibration transmission
- Protects building structure from machinery vibration
- Minimizes noise in surrounding areas
- Durable construction for industrial environments
- Long service life with no maintenance
- Cost-effective solution for blowers, fans, axial fans and other equipment
Installation Guidelines
- Install on rigid concrete base or structural steel frame
- Ensure level mounting surface for even load distribution
- Allow clearance for rubber deflection under load
Selection Criteria
Select double U shear mounts based on:
- Equipment weight (total and per mounting point)
- Operating frequency and vibration characteristics
- Required deflection and isolation efficiency
- Available space and mounting configuration
- Environmental conditions
