Bolt Isolators

This assembly provides for the isolation of bolted structures such as building steelwork made from rolled steel sections or parallel flange channel.  This element is used in conjunction with the BPD mat material to provide a high degree of isolation and to eliminate a metallic path for the transmission of vibration.
The isolator is in 3 parts where the central rubber covered metal tube is to a length dependant upon the thickness of the ‘sandwich’ - less 3mm, allowing for compression of the rubber elements. The end caps have an embedded steel washer 3mm thick which, on assembly, is in contact with the steel inner tube. This allows the bolts to be tightened to normal torques.

If ordered with BPD matting, the mat can be cut to size (from standard 210 x 210mm standard size and holes can be pre-cut to dimensions provided.

Dimensions
The length of the inner element is made to order to provide the required rubber element compression. Typically total thickness of the ‘sandwich’ would be between 15 and 65mm
This type of mount can also be used where items are to be bolted to, but isolated from a floor for example.

These mounts can also be used to secure steelwork to walls providing vibration isolation at the same time.
