ContiTech Press Releases

Hanover, July 2010Fully galvanized rubber-metal component for a large number of possible applications • Reduces the transmission of vibrations through suspended ceilings and piping

With the new SCHWINGMETALL® bell mount for the suspension of hanging objects, ContiTech is expanding its range of rubber-metal products. The new mount can carry loads of between 150 and 300 kilos. “For a long time customers have been looking for a component of this size”, says Henning Ziegenmeyer, product engineer at ContiTech Vibration Control. “With this development we have managed to fully satisfy their requirements.”

Development aimed at minimizing the component’s inherent frequency so that the product can also optimally isolate vibrations at low excitation frequencies. The application possibilities are extremely varied. The ceiling of a sound studio, for instance, can be suspended with one of the new bell mounts and made perfectly vibration-proof, thus preventing undesired vibrations from negatively affecting recording work. Heavy pipes are still another application area. Suspending these by means of ContiTech bell mounts guarantees a building the requisite protection and largely isolates vibrations.

The completely galvanized rubber-metal component has a rebound buffer. In an emergency, carrying capacity is guaranteed solely by the metal parts. The component is now already available for delivery.
