Inertia Base

Introduction :
Inertia Base should be used where the machine to be vibration isolated produces large unbalanced forces
which would result in excessive motion if supported directly on spring or rubber based isolators. They
should also be used where the machine is subject to external forces or is inherently unstable.

Easyflex Inertia Base come in several standard sizes as listed in our catalogue. However, these bases can
also manufactured to any size and specifications, even for heavier and more complex vibration isolation
problems, where viscous damping may also be required. For frame lengths greater than 2400 mm we
would normally recommend 6 isolators or more for exceptionally large bases.
Examples of equipment requiring Inertia Base are as follows:

Y
Reciprocating Compressors
Y
Diesel Generating Sets
Y
Engine / Dynamometer Test Rigs
Y
Refrigeration Plants
Y
Pumps (Particularly Belt Driven Types)

Features :
Y
Fully welded steel construction with integral concrete reinforcement fixed at 35 mm above bottom of
frame.
Y
Recessed height reducing corner brackets designed to accept standard Eeasyflex type EFOS open spring
mountings or KESI Mounts.
Y
Range of standard size frames available in three thicknesses 150, 200, 300 & 350 mm. Frame thickness
not less than L/12 where "L" is the longest side of the frame.
Y
Finished with a single coat of red oxide primer on external surface only.

Y
Due to policy of continual improvement, the specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
Y
Measurements are subject to 5% tolerance.
Y
To achieve good sound suppression do not over load fitting.
