Low-profile, high-capacity mounts for shock protection and vibration control applications.
Self-Leveling Mount (SLM) Series Pneumatic Leveling Mounts
Ensure peak performance and safe operation with the Made in USA® Hutchinson SLM Series. These pneumatic elastomeric mounts are ideal for applications requiring higher deflection isolators. The SLM Series offers excellent vibration isolation performance for difficult industrial equipment in a small-space envelope.
These pneumatic leveling mounts feature a mechanical bond design which incorporates a positive locking system, and this rigid wall design provides better isolation than traditional air bladder design. They deliver 96 percent vertical isolation and 98 percent horizontal isolation at 10 Hz. Once filled with air, these mounts are virtually maintenance-free.
Typical Uses
The high stability and reliability of SLM Series makes them ideal for use in mounting vibrators, shakers, vacuum pumps, forging hammers, surface plates, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), fans, air compressors, motor/generator sets, high-speed punch presses, precision tools, inspection and metrology equipment, optical equipment, HVAC equipment and equipment subjected to low-frequency shocks and/or vibrations.
