VIBRO FLEX VSEJ
VIBRO FLEX Stainless Steel Expansion Joints primarily absorb dimensional changes in pipelines caused by thermal movement. The bellows are formed from thin-walled stainless-steel tubing, making them more efficient than other pipe movement solutions like pipe loops or slip-type joints. Pipe loops occupy excessive space, while slip joints demand frequent maintenance. Additionally, both can only accommodate axial movement. VIBRO FLEX bellows expansion joints, in contrast, are compact, maintenance-free, and capable of absorbing multiple types of movement.
VIBRO FLEX bellows expansion joints are available with flanged, welded, grooved, or threaded ends. Internal liners protect the bellows' inner surface from erosion and reduce vibrations caused by fluid flow. Additional options include tie rods for movement control and shrouds that shield the bellows in buried installations. For proper anchoring and guiding of pipelines with expansion joints, and to avoid extension or buckling due to pressure thrusts, consult Akinco for expert guidance.
VIBRO ISOLATOR VRSIF
- Light-Duty Configuration: For lower load capacities, the isolators are equipped with molded neoprene bottom load plates, offering effective vibration damping and acoustic isolation.
- Heavy-Duty Configuration: For higher load applications, the steel springs are securely welded to a heavy-gauge steel bottom load plate. A neoprene isolation pad is bonded to this plate to enhance vibration attenuation and reduce structure-borne noise.
-
- Spring Geometry: The ratio of spring diameter to compressed height under rated load is maintained at a minimum of 0.8, ensuring lateral stability and consistent performance.
- Corrosion Protection: Springs are finished with an epoxy powder coating, tested to withstand up to 1000 hours of salt spray exposure for enhanced durability in harsh environments.
- Acoustic Isolation: A neoprene friction pad is incorporated to act as a sound break, effectively minimizing the transmission of high-frequency vibrations.
- Vibration Isolation Efficiency: The system achieves a vibration isolation efficiency exceeding 95%, making it suitable for sensitive equipment and noise-critical installations.
- Structural Integration: Bottom plates are pre-engineered with bolt provisions to facilitate secure anchoring to the supporting structure.
- Stability Assurance: Lateral stiffness of the spring assembly is designed to exceed 1.0 times the rated vertical stiffness, ensuring reliable performance under dynamic loads.
- Overload Capacity: Each spring unit is rated to accommodate a minimum of 50% overload beyond its nominal load capacity. Springs are structurally safe even at solid height compression.
VIBRO ISOLATOR VRSIH
VRSIH Housed Spring Isolators are high-performance vibration control units designed to deliver substantial deflection while maintaining structural restraint. Each unit incorporates large-diameter, laterally stable steel springs housed within a fabricated steel enclosure to prevent excessive movement and ensure safe operation under dynamic, seismic, or wind-induced conditions.
The spring assembly sits between precision-engineered top and bottom load plates. The upper plate includes integrated leveling bolts, locknuts, and washers for accurate equipment alignment and secure attachment. The bottom plate features a non-skid neoprene isolation pad and bolt provisions for anchoring to the supporting structure.
