Vibracon® SM elements are our permanent, strong and re-usable machinery mounting chocks for all types of rotating or critically aligned machinery. Using Vibracon® elements is the most economical way to establish a perfect mounting plane. As Vibracon® mounts are mechanically stiff elements, accurate mounting is made simple and quick.
Advantages:
Vibracon® SM elements are a fast and safe way to chock your new-builds as well as repairs. This is supported by a type approval from all major classification societies, as well as approval of use by the US Navy.
Vibracon® SM elements are machinery mounting chocks that are easily and accurately adjusted. The elements accommodate up to a 4° angular difference between machine and the mounting base without expensive machining of the base or extra work of installing epoxy resin chocks. The self levelling capability combined with the height adjustment feature eliminates the possibility of a soft foot in the production line.
The Low Profile elements offer an economic solution for repair projects or fixed design systems where expensive milled chocks, shims or epoxy resins were applied. The Vibracon® SM Low Profile configuration addresses those applications where the chock height between the foundation and component has been established by the previous design. A variety of adjustment tools for confined installation spaces are available.
Vibracons are not limited to the two types mentioned. Many additional configuration and material options are available and routinely deployed to solve mounting problems.
Typical solutions include:
It is advisable to order Spherical Washers to accompany your Vibracons in order to optimize the mounting of your machinery.
For your convenience, Machine Support offers you a Vibracon® SM mounting kit. This is a complete set of high quality components which allow accurate and fast installation of propulsion units and auxiliary equipment containing: Vibracon® SM elements, foundation bolts, fitting bolts, nuts, Spherical Washers and plan approval certificate of the classification society of your choice.
