Typical passive applications include the protection of vibration sensitive equipment such as coordinate measuring machines, metrology inspection devices, isolation tables and electron microscopes.

Dynamic applications such as power presses, compressors and high-speed punch presses should use the SLM-D series combined with viscose damping.

The EFFBE SLM pneumatic spring mount is a low-height, low-stiffness air spring isolator mount suitable for both passive and dynamic applications where a support natural frequency as low as 3–5 Hz is required.

The SLM isolator has a Neoprene rubber body with steel reinforcing hoops, aluminium base plate and a steel or aluminium top support plate complete with a tapped mounting hole.

Inflation is either through the 'moulded in' standard tyre valve or by connection to a permanent air supply.

Features and benefits:

• Air spring isolator with integral heavy wall construction.
• Deflection transfers shock to outer wall.
• Will not bottom out.
• Continued support and isolation even with no air pressure.
• Combined resiliency and air prevents high static deflection, drift or permanent set.
• Extends machinery life.
• Wide load range available.
• Low maintenance.
