- Oil and corrosion resistant
Description:
Kinetics Model NP and NG Pads are produced from a high quality elastomer and are available in single ribbed or crossed double ribbed in one or more layers separated with steel shims. Pads are 45 or 65 durometer and are designed for 60 or 120 PSI (4.2 to 8.4 kg/cm2) maximum loading. The elastomer is oil and water resistant and has been designed to operate within the strain limits of the isolator and to provide long life expectancy. NP Pads are available with rated deflections from 0.04" to 0.09" (1 mm to 2 mm). NG Pads are available with rated deflections from 0.13" to 0.19" (3 mm to 5 mm). Pads are available in 4", 6", or 9" (102, 152, 228 mm) squares with capacities from 400 to 9,700 lbs. (181 to 4400 kg), or in full 18" (457 mm) square sheets which can be cut or drilled to meet field requirements. Kinetics Model NP or NG Pads can be used to isolate noise, shock, and high frequency vibration produced by mechanical, industrial, or process equipment located on grade or in other non-critical areas.
Application:
Kinetics Model NPS, NPD, NGS, and NGD ribbed elastomer isolation pads can be used to isolate noise, shock, and high frequency vibration, generated by mechanical equip-ment and industrial machinery located on a grade-supported structural slab.
Typical applications for ribbed neoprene isolation pads are limited to pad loadings of 60 PSI (4.2 kg/cm2) for 45 durometer material, and 120 PSI (8.4 kg/cm2) for 65 durometer material, and used with equipment having minimum operating speeds of 3600 RPM.
Typically, pad sizes are selected to uniformly transfer 60 PSI (4.2 kg/cm2) steady state loads to supporting structure. Model NPS, NPD, NGS, and NGD pads have been designed to provide 60 PSI (4.2 kg/cm2) of load capacity, and optimum isolation efficiency for each thickness, without exceeding strain limits of the material. Under impact loads, the load capacity of the pads is reduced by 50%, and 120 PSI (8.4 kg/cm2), 65 durometer material is used.
