DescriptionAnti-vibration mount for heavy duty, low thickness and radial flexibility. The SANDWICH mount comprises one or more layers of elastomer bonded to flat, parallel metallic plates. These mountings may be cylindrical or rectangular. They are designed to withstand very high compressive loads. The range of mechanical characteristics is governed by the hardness of the rubber and the number of intermediate metallic plates. These mountings can support compression from 20 to 100 bars. The metal plates usually receive a phosphate anti-corrosion treatment. The elastomer is polychloroprene which provides a high resistance to atmospheric exposure.
