FAEBi rubber air springs


FAEBI® rubber air springs are used for thehighly effective insulation of machines, apparatus and aggregates from shocks, vibrations and structure borne noise. Theelement comprises of a bell-shaped rubberform made from high-grade elastomer witha reinforced side wall. The constructive design does not only achieve excellent insulation properties, but also very high mechanical stability. Damage due to over-load or a sudden pressure drop is virtuallyimpossible. The air spring element has avery low degree of deflection in the horizontal direction. The inclusion of anti-slip pads on the spring element baseplate means that additional floor anchoringis not usually required.


Note:

  • FAEBI® elements can also be supplied in stainless steel designs and from EDPM elastomer for outdoor use (such as air conditioning).
  • To reduce the movement amplitude in the vertical direction the FAEBI-® HD variant is supplied with additional damping.

Applications
Perfectly suited for source insulation of fast running presses, forging hammers and other machines and aggregates with highly dynamic disturbance forces. Passive insulation of measuring and test equipment as well as highly accurate machine tools. Can also be combined with mechanical level control on request.

The combined rubber-air spring insulator FAEBI®-HD with adjustable damping comprises of an elastomer metal bonding with reinforced side wall and a two-chamber system. To achieve the greatest possible damping effect the interior of the air spring is divided into two air chambers connected by an air hose (load and damping volume). An adjustable throttle valve isused to set the flow cross section to the desired damping effect from the outside. The significantly higher damping effect compared to a single chamber system (FAEBI®) reduces the resonance amplification substantially and the machine movements fade noticeably faster. The increased energy substancially absorp-tion also has a positive effect on the manufactured goods and on machine and tool wear.

Benefits:
In comparison to viscous damping air damping is absolutely free of wear and maintenance-free and the damping factor can be easily adjusted from outside.

Note:

  • Ensure that the element is selected so that the maximum load(static and dynamic load) is not exceeded! For applications with higher dynamics harder variants of the FAEBI® reduce the deflection of the element. However, the softer the element is,the better the achievable insulation effect is. Please contact us, we are happy to assist with selecting a suitable element.
  • If the bottom edge of the machine does not completely coverØD, we recommend the use of our special protective cover
  • Permissible temperature range: -20 °C to +80 °C
  • The elements are attached to the holes provided on the machine using the bolts supplied Anchoring to the floor is usually not necessary.
  • Bolt in the bolt by hand only, do not use an open-endwrench. Also only tighten the nut with low torque.
  • The machine is placed on the deflated element, which is theninflated in stages using the standard valve until dimension H(= working height) is reached. The maximum specified airpressure must also not be exceeded!
  • Inflation and deflation may only take place under load, observe the maximum permissible pressure.
  • Up to +/- 5 mm are available for levelling.

The mechanical-pneumatic level control (MPN) with our robust proportional valve LVC represents a simple but effective solution for preventing skew positions resulting from load changes. A plunger continuously probes the level and the position of the plunger is transmitted to a slide valve. The air spring is either pressurized or the internal pressure is vented in accordance with the position of the plunger. The adjustable target level is maintained within an accuracy of ± 1/10 mm. In principle three control valves are used, that optionally have an upstream air maintenance unit for conditioning the pneumatic air supply, limiting the system pressure to 6 bar, removing accumulated condensate and filtering out solid particles (rust and dust).
