    Rectangular SAW Mountings
Features
Rectangular SAW mountings are also known as ’Sandwich’ mountings because they feature a rubber section sandwiched between plates of metal. This arrangement allows a large difference between the compression and shear stiffnesses, thus providing the potential to ’tune’ a mounting system by rotating the mountings. These mountings are commonly installed in a ’Vee’ formation to utilise this feature.
The Rectangular SAW Mountings has the following features:
• Available with plate or stud fi xings.
• Can be loaded in compression or shear, or a combination of both, for example in a ’Vee’ arrangement.
• Can be manufactured with or without interleaves to change the ratio of shear to compression stiffness.
