Abstract
A mount having an insulation body is arranged between a bearer and an elevator drive, wherein a fastening connects the elevator drive with the bearer. Plugs are embedded in the insulation body, wherein the plugs distributed in a grid-like manner in rows and columns over the insulation body. The plugs, which can be broken out, enable a uniform spring deflection in the case of different loading. The insulation body required for the respective application can be produced by breaking out the appropriate number of plugs.
Claims5
A mount for insulating a support from conveying equipment connected to the support, the conveying equipment including at least one vibrationally loaded part accepting a vertical load, the mount comprising:
- an insulation body for positioning between the at least one vibrationally loaded part and the support, wherein said insulation body is formed of a spring material and has a plurality of openings formed therein, the openings being aligned in parallel with a vector defined by the vertical load on the at least one vibrationally loaded part, the openings disposed through the insulation body from a top side of the insulation body to a bottom side of the insulation body;
- and
- a plurality of spring bodies, each of the spring bodies positioned in one of said openings formed in the insulation body, wherein at least one of the spring bodies is individually removably attached to said insulation body, and a spring travel characteristic of said insulation body is settable according to the vertical load on the vibrationally loaded part by the individual selective removal of at least one of said spring bodies from at least one of said openings, the spring travel characteristic being a function of the vertical load on the insulation body and the selective positioning of the spring bodies in the openings of the insulation body.
A method for insulating a support from conveying equipment connected to the support, the conveying equipment including at least one vibrationally loaded part accepting a vertical load, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. forming an insulation body with a spring travel characteristic;
- b. forming a plurality of openings in the insulation body, the openings being aligned in parallel with a vector defined by the vertical load on the at least one vibrationally loaded part, the openings disposed through the insulation body from a top side of the insulation body to a bottom side of the insulation body;
- c. providing a plurality of spring bodies, each of the spring bodies positioned in one of said openings formed in the insulation body, wherein at least one of the spring bodies is individually removably attached to the insulation body;
- d. evaluating the vertical load on the vibrationally loaded part;
- e. selecting how many and which of the plurality of spring bodies to individually remove from the insulation body based on the vertical load on the vibrationally loaded part;
- f. selectively individually removing the at least one of the spring body to set a spring deflection of the insulation body;
- and
- g. positioning the insulation body between the vibrationally loaded part and the support.
