CDM Stravimech Bearing
Stravimech Bearing* isolation supports offer a simple and cost-effective vibration and impact isolation to a wide range of machines, such as compressors, pumps, air-handling and cooling units, moulding systems in foundry, textile machinery, vibrating machinery, etc.
CDM Stravitec offers three types of bearings:
- Stravimech Bearing-Air, isolation systems intended for isolation of very low frequent vibrations
- Stravimech Bearing-P, isolation resilient pads
- Stravimech Bearing-S, isolation springs
Main Benefits
- Temperature differences: significant stiffening effect at the glazing temperature around -35°C; significant softening effect when reaching temperatures around and above +100°C; in-between these extremes, the material characteristics can be considered fairly constant
- Excellent electrical resistance
- Good resistance to most oils and solvents (details available on request)
- Very low natural frequency (< 3 Hz)
- Frequency can be tuned to expected performance
- Frictionless movement
- Height regulation possible
- Wide range of Stravimech Bearing systems available to cope with different requirements
Design Requirements
- Weight and load distribution of the machine to be supported on Stravimech Bearing
- Available space for the supports (surface and height)
- Excitation frequency of the machine to be supported
- The required vibration isolation performance or natural frequency of the solution
- Specific conditions
- Location of center of gravity of the machine to be isolated
- Support surface layout
*Previously known as CDM-MACHINE-PAD & CDM-AIR
