API-M Modular Rubber Pad
Acrefine API-M type modular rubber pad is designed to minimize vibration and noise transmission from equipment to structures. Modules are made of 50x50x10 mm (2”x2”x3/8”) rubber and are connected to each other by a thin rubber web that can be easily cut with a simple box knife (see figure left). API-M pad blocks are manufactured in 357×357 mm (14”x14”) size and can be cut to any combination of 50 mm (2”) dimension sizes.
Each module has a Ø9 mm (Ø3/8”) diameter through hole. This hole can be increased to Ø19 mm (Ø3/4”) by cutting the thin rubber web. The design also allows for holes to be cut for any combination of modules (see figure below).
- Modular design
- Through bolt hole in each module for easy installation
- Fixing hole can be cut for any size and combination
- Can be easily cut with box knife to required size
- No need to stock pre-cut pads
- Can be stacked with steel plates to achieve higher deflection
- 10 mm (3/8”) thickness
- 90 kg (200 lb) load capacity per module
Acrefine API-M type vibration isolators are suitable for floor mounted mechanical equipment that generates high frequency vibration, i.e., pumps, chillers, compressors, centrifugal fans, blower-coil units, vent sets, low pressure packaged air-handling units, etc.
API-M type vibration isolation pads are available with up to 2 mm (5/64″) deflection and 90 kg (200 lb) load capacity for a single module. If higher deflections are required, the pads can be stacked with steel plates between layers.
