Equipment Terminology

Dynamic Balancing and Vibration Isolation

Base Mounted Conveyor base mounts to floor or a support designed to absorb vibrations. Recommended for installation at or below grade.

Isolated Weighted-Base Balancing Conveyor base with several times the mass weight of pan is mounted on isolation springs. Depending on spring type, isolation percentage can be as high as 80 to 90 percent.

Balanced Counterbalance member operates 180 degrees out-of-phase with conveyor pan. Identical spring systems create equal and opposite forces to reduce reactions by at least 90 percent.

Base-Excited Balancing and Isolation Counterbalance member under conveyor pan with spring connection to pan. Reduces reactions by at least 95 percent.

Isolated-Balanced Balanced type conveyor with base mounted on isolation springs. Combination reduces reactions by at least 98 percent.

Spring Systems

Coil Springs/Rocker Arm Stabilizers For heavy impact and transverse loads. This combined assembly of chrome manganese steel coil springs and rugged cast rocker arm stabilizers provides durability for maximum longevity in operation and low maintenance.

Rubber Shear Springs/Rocker Arm Stabilizers Designed for high impact loading and medium to heavy-duty applications. This design is impervious to water and other contaminants.

Leaf Springs Simple, low cost design for long stroke and medium to light duty applications. Virtually unaffected by continuous exposure to moisture.

Coil Springs/Leaf Spring Stabilizers Rugged, heavy duty construction for high capacity application. This construction is excellent for high temperature use.
