DX mountings
Metalastik® type DX mountings
”DX” mountings complement the other two mounting types in the range and provide an extended shock deflection capability of up to 100 mm in the vertical direction. This allows nonruggedised equipment to be used in military marine applications.
The DX mounting can be used as a single element in confined spaces.
The loading and stiffness properties shown in the graphs refer to a mounting assembly comprised of four bonded rubber/ metal elements.
Each element is generally similar to product no. 17-2196 which may be used in pairs to provide substantially the same vertical and horizontal stiffness rates. This is similar to two sandwich mountings inclined at 45 degrees but with flat fixing surfaces resulting in simplified and compact installation.
Metalastik® type Buffers
In addition to the mountings, buffers are used to limit movement under seaway conditions and shock loading. Shown below are examples of buffers and typical arrangement details.
