VIBRO VHN DATA SHEET

VIBRO VHN Hanger Elements are engineered vibration‑control components designed to reduce the transmission of structure‑borne noise and vibration from suspended light‑duty mechanical systems. These systems typically include HVAC piping, ductwork, small fans, and auxiliary suspended equipment. The VHN series incorporates an elastomeric insert operating in shear, combined with a high‑strength steel load washer, providing an efficient and compact isolation solution where installation space does not permit the use of full hanger brackets.

The elastomer‑in‑shear configuration significantly enhances deflection capability, reduces material fatigue, and ensures stable long‑term isolation performance. This design prevents vibration propagation into the building structure, supporting both acoustic comfort and structural protection.

Description

VIBRO VHN Hanger Elements are suitable for:

  • Suspended HVAC piping networks
  • Ductwork and air‑distribution systems
  • Light mechanical equipment producing audible‑frequency vibration
  • Installations with limited vertical or lateral space where full hanger assemblies cannot be installed
  • Noise‑sensitive environments requiring improved structure‑borne noise control
  • Elastomer‑in‑Shear Technology: The elastomeric insert is designed to operate in shear rather than compression. Shear loading increases allowable deflection, improves strain distribution, and minimizes long‑term degradation, resulting in superior fatigue resistance and extended service life.
  • Steel Load Washer: A precision‑stamped steel washer ensures uniform load transfer, stabilizes the elastomer under shear, and maintains consistent performance under dynamic loading.
  • Color‑Coded Elastomer System: Each elastomer insert is color‑coded to denote load capacity. This system enables accurate selection during design and installation, ensuring proper matching of hanger capacity to the suspended load and vibration characteristics.
  • Compact, Bracket‑Free Configuration: The VHN model is specifically intended for installations where spatial constraints prevent the use of full hanger brackets. The simplified form factor allows integration into tight ceiling voids and congested mechanical zones.
  • Optimized Cost‑to‑Performance Ratio: The efficient use of elastomeric material, reduced wear rate, and simplified installation contribute to lower lifecycle costs while delivering high‑quality vibration attenuation.
  • Static Deflection: Up to 0.225 in (5.7 mm) under rated operating loads.
  • Elastomer Insert:
    • High‑quality, oil‑resistant elastomeric compound
    • Molded to precise tolerances
    • Color‑coded for load identification
    • Designed for shear‑mode operation to maximize deflection and durability
  • Steel Washer:
    • Precision‑stamped load‑transfer washer
    • High‑strength steel construction
    • Ensures uniform load distribution and mechanical stability
  • Performance Characteristics:
    • Enhanced fatigue resistance due to shear‑mode operation
    • Stable long‑term vibration isolation
