- Epoxy Powder Coated Bracket and Spring Coil
- Patented, Self-Centering Cap US Patent number 5,653,426
How the self-centering no short cap works:
Indexed steps in spring cap correspond to standard washer diameters for the appropriate rod diameter. The washer and rod stay centered in the cap.
Description
Kinetics Model SFH Vibration Isolation Hangers consist of freestanding, large diameter, laterally stabile steel springs in series with a precompressed molded fiberglass insert assembled into a stamped or welded hanger bracket. To assure stability, the spring element has a minimum lateral spring stiffness of 1.0 times the rated vertical stiffness. Hangers will allow support rod misalignment through a 30° arc without short-circuiting. Isolation brackets will carry a 500% overload without failure. Model SFH hangers are superior to hangers which incorporate a spring only, that can transmit noise through the all-metal construction, and hangers incorporating noise stop pads only, that can transmit low frequency vibration which a spring would isolate. Hangers are available in deflections 1.04" to 2.20" (26 to 56 mm) and 4.05" to 4.75" (104 mm to 112 mm), and in capacities from 35 to 3850 lbs. (16 to 1747 kg). Kinetics Model SFH combination hangers are recommended for the isolation of vibration produced by suspended mechanical equipment, low speed suspended fans, transformers, ductwork, piping, etc.
Application
Kinetics Model SFH hangers are recommended for use near critically quiet areas for isolating any suspended source of both audible and inaudible noise and vibration. Suspended mechanical equipment such as in-line fans, cabinet fans, and piping and ductwork in close proximity to mechanical equipment are typical uses of Model SFH hangers.
High sound transmission loss ceiling systems can be effectively isolated by the use of Model SFH hangers in the ceiling suspension system. This hanger model is particularly suitable for use in isolated ceiling systems used to shield spaces from mechanical equipment rooms, flyover aircraft, and similar sound isolation involving predominantly low frequency noise.
Kinetics' minimum recommendation for the placement of spring hangers is that they be installed on all piping in the equipment room and on the first 50’ (15 m) for piping that extends outside of the equipment room. For typical installations, the three spring hangers closest to the equipment should have equal deflection to the equipment isolators. The remaining spring hangers should have a minimum deflection of 1” (25 mm). In noise sensitive areas, the pipe hangers selected should have the same deflection as that specified for the equipment isolation and all piping in the building should be isolated.
Standard Model SFH hangers are shipped fully assembled and ready for installation in threaded rod suspension systems.
Model SFH hangers are available in a wide range of load and static deflection selections and can be provided with labor saving accessories for adaption to wire or strap suspension systems, and may be preloaded, or provided with plates for ease in erecting piping at a fixed elevation.
