Product Selection Differences for Ring and Bushing Natural Rubber (NR) Antivibration Mountings (AVM)

When selecting between Ring and Bushing Natural Rubber (NR) Antivibration Mountings (AVM), there are several key differences to consider:

  1. Mounting Configuration:

    • Ring Mountings: These typically have a circular shape and are used for applications where a more symmetrical distribution of vibration isolation is needed.
    • Bushing Mountings: These have a cylindrical shape with a central hole for mounting bolts and are suitable for applications where a more linear vibration isolation is required.

  2. Vibration Isolation Properties:

    • Ring Mountings: Offer effective isolation against both vertical and lateral vibrations due to their design that allows for multidirectional flexibility.
    • Bushing Mountings: Provide good vibration isolation in a specific direction based on the orientation of the cylindrical bushing.

  3. Load-Bearing Capacity:

    • Ring Mountings: Can distribute loads more evenly due to their circular shape, making them suitable for applications with varying load directions.
    • Bushing Mountings: Are effective for handling axial loads and are commonly used in applications with predominantly vertical vibrations.

  4. Installation Flexibility:

    • Ring Mountings: Offer flexibility in installation orientation and can accommodate variations in mounting positions.
    • Bushing Mountings: Need to be oriented correctly to optimize their vibration isolation performance, as they are designed for specific load directions.

  5. Space Constraints:

    • Ring Mountings: Can take up more space due to their circular design and may require more clearance for installation.
    • Bushing Mountings: Have a more compact profile and can be suitable for applications with limited space for mounting.

By considering these factors, you can choose the most appropriate type of antivibration mounting (Ring or Bushing) that best suits your specific application requirements in terms of vibration isolation, load-bearing capacity, installation flexibility, and space constraints.
