Concreted filled CIB inertia base frames supported by KINETICS® vibration isolators, provide the ultimate in equipment isolation, support, anchorage, and vibration amplitude control.
Applications
Inertia bases are used to support mechanical equipment, reduce equipment vibration, provide for attachment of vibration isolators, prevent differential movement between driving and driven members, reduce rocking by lowering equipment center of gravity, reduce motion of equipment during start-up and shut-down, act to reduce reaction movement due to operating loads on equipment, and act as a noise barrier.
Typical uses for inertia base frames, with poured concrete and supported by noise and vibration isolators, include use with open-type centrifugal chillers, reciprocating air and refrigeration compressors, chillers, and heat pumps, close-coupled and base-mounted pumps, centrifugal fans, internal combustion engines, and similar types of equipment.
