Anti vibration mounts
CONE WITH CUTOUTS
The AMC-Mecanocaucho® cones work the rubber in shear compression. They are composed of two parallel conical metal parts. They have two washers, one as a buffer and the other for centering.
Technical characteristics
The AMC-Mecanocaucho® Cone mounts are safe and stable elements. They do not allow the suspended elements to tilt, whilst being flexible enough to avoid the transmission of noise and vibration through the support structure.
They are supplied complete with bump stop and centering washers. This renders deflection above the limits of the Mecanocaucho® Cones impossible, even at extreme loads.
The washers protect the natural rubber (which is highly elastic and highly resistant) from ozone and ageing, as well as from metal knocks and dripping oil. The characteristic deflection curves of the AMC-Mecanocaucho® Cone mounts with centering washer are quite linear, increasing progressively as the load increases. Thanks to this they can safely dampen overloads of up to three times the maximum admissible load.
The cutouts on the rubber section offer different horizontal/vertical stiffness ratios. This feature is especially interesting far those applications where a lower stiffness is required in one of the axes. Our technical department can provide you the elastical constants and can recommend you the optimal position of the cutouts.
Applications
The AMC MECANOCAUCHO cones have been designed to use them in engines and auxiliary machinery for static applications and for applications in all type of vehicles. Also used for cabs.
