- All connections to resiliently supported equipment should connected pipes or equipment
also be flexible themselves (see Piping Support). In addition to
restricting equipment motion, any fixed connection can offer
a direct path for transmission of vibration to the surrounding
structure, bypassing the isolation system.

3. Top heavy machinery, especially when mounted on a narrow


base, can become unstable if mounts are located too close
to each other beneath the equipment. Such instability can be
avoided by use of outrigger or cradle brackets which space the
mounts further apart and raise the mounting location points
closer to the vertical centre of gravity of the equipment. In
addition, the inclusion of an inertia block can provide mounting
points spread further apart, lower the centre of gravity of the
system and provide additional mass for static deflection thereby
improving isolation efficiency.

1. Remove cap screw and washer.
2. Locate mount under hole in equipment leg or base
(see note below).
3. Replace cap screw and washer but do not tighten.
4. Raise equipment to desired elevation and level by turning
adjusting bolt anticlockwise to raise.
5. Tighten cap screw to lock assembly.

NOTE:
1. It maybe necessary to lift or block up equipment to place
mount in position.
2. The equipment is supported on the head of the bolt.

any major axis.

When correctly selected, integrated seismic mounts will allow


conformance to the design requirements of AS 1170, NZS 4219
and other International Seismic Codes.

When undertaking final design, reference should be made to


the relevant earthquake standards for the country concerned,
and to the full Embelton Datasheets for application information,
dimensions and installation details.

For correct application, it is essential that static seismic force


calculations are verified to ensure that the mount design
restraint capacities are not exceeded. Hold down bolts must be
adequate for the restraint application.

Embelton offers a wide range of seismic spring mounts for a


full range of applications, as well as a rubber seismic mount
and independent seismic restraints. Also available are cable
restraints, which are used in conjunction with spring or rubber
hangers for the seismic restraint of suspended piping and
equipment.

Please refer to the selection guide over the page for correct
selection of seismic isolation system and the relevant Datasheet
reference.

following can be applied simultaneously in one lateral direction
and vertically up or down:

Vertical: 55kN
Lateral: 35kN

At maximum restraint loads, the displacement from normal


operating position is approximately 10mm.

DESIGN
XWM-2/4 Mounts are designed with spring horizontal to vertical
stiffness ratios between 0.9 and 1.1 at rated loads; ratio of spring
diameter to loaded height minimum 0.8; and a rated maximum
static operating deflection 2/3 deflection to solid.
