Bump Stops
We have a large range of bump stops and bonded feet and are able to supply a variety of different thread thicknesses. All stops and feet are manufactured to the usual high standard that you would expect from A.V.A and include our own unique bonding process to ensure a maximum lifespan.
MS Series
Avacone mountings are designed to offer flexibility in the axial direction but limited movement radially. These characteristics make the mountings particularly suitable for mounting mobile equipment where movement in the horizontal plane has to be accommodated and restrained. Avacone mountings offer a compact design and can usually be installed into existing chassis members. All Avacone mountings are identified by the letters ‘ms’ at the start of the part number.
The mountings should always be used with the top and bottom rebound washers fitted above and below the mounting to form a fully captive arrangement and to prevent excessive movement resulting from shock and inertia loads.
The ms236 and ms238 series can be supplied fitted in a pedestal base. There are several sizes available in the range. Advice on the most suitable mounting for a given application can be obtained from our technical department. Typical applications include the mounting of gearboxes and transmission equipment, liquid storage tanks, mobile generating sets, mobile compressors, marine engines, radiators, and vehicle cab mountings.

Machine Feet
The 223 and 264 series mountings are designed to isolate vibration from lightweight workshop machinery, such as lathes, punches, grinding machines machine tools, vacuum equipment and ancilliary plant. They are easy to install and both ranges have a facility for height adjustment to allow levelling of the equipment. The rubber base of the foot locates the machine by friction and prevents it from travelling across the floor. Both ranges are manufactured in oil resistant rubber.
Note: The 223 and 264 series mountings are designed for industrial applications only. The rubber element may cause staining on decorative floorings. Advice for specific applications can be obtained from our technical department.

Bobbin Mountings
The two-bolt series covers an expansive range of products, each with distinct load deflection characteristics. Typically, these mountings come with a male fixing at each end, though various lengths of fixings are available for some mountings. Some models offer male/female fixings, and in certain cases, female/female fixings can be supplied.
Each series in the two-bolt line is manufactured in a variety of hardness rubber compounds, allowing for a broad range of load deflection characteristics. It is advisable to select a mounting from the middle of the load range required to ensure good service life, particularly when large amplitudes need to be isolated. This practice can lead to more efficient operation and increased lifespan of the machinery.
Mountings with female fixings are generally stiffer than those with male fixings. This is because the female metal part intrudes into the rubber body, reducing the elasticity of the mounting. The mounting’s size and shape usually dictate whether it can be offered with either a female fixing at one end or both ends.

Heavy Duty Isolators
The heavy duty isolator series are designed to be used in compression. The range available is covered by three different sized products, each of which can be manufactured in a variety of different rubber compounds to offer a wide range of load deflection characteristics from 500N to 18KN per unit.
The high deflection characteristics of the 4008 and 4014 series mountings make them particularly suitable for applications where the load acting on the mountings may be subject to large variations during the normal operating cycle of a machine. The 4008 and 4014 series are ideal for isolating generating sets, air compressors, large fan and motor sets, vibratory hoppers, concrete panel moulds, transformers and heavy industrial equipment.

Pedestal Mountings (P Series)
The Pedestal series offers offer a uniquely versatile solution to a wide range of applications. The baseplate fixing lends itself to installations where ease of fitting is a priority.The Pedestal series is a general purpose mounting suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Typical applications include the mounting of static generating sets, fan and motor sets, load cells, vibratory hoppers, water pumps etc.
The range available covers four different sizes. Each size is manufactured in a range of different hardness compounds to offer a wide range of load deflection characteristics. The array of different type numbers available in each series helps to make it easier to arrive at a solution to any vibration problem where there is an uneven weight distribution resulting in dissimilar loads at each mounting position.

AL Series Mountings
The AL series of mountings offer a captive installation and have been designed to isolate medium/high frequency vibration. The property of increasing stiffness with deflection helps provide smooth cushioning to movements in compression whilst a rebound washer fitted internally limits the movement resulting from reverse loads. The mountings are particularly suitable for applications where movement resulting from dynamic loads has to be accommodated and restrained. To determine the natural frequency of a particular mounting under load, the "effective deflection" should be used. This is given with the load/deflection characteristics on the lower of the two scales for each series. Typical applications include the mounting of mobile equipment, e.g. mobile compressors, generators and fan and motor equipment.
Sandwich Mountings
The sandwich mounting, so called because of its layered construction, is a well proven established design that provides an economical method of isolating heavy industrial machinery.
The steel fixing plates either side of the mounting are separated from each other by a rubber element bonded to a steel centre plate. This design gives the sandwich mounting a high load carrying in a small compact shape. This feature is particularly useful where the mountings are required to have a high load carrying capacity and at the same time a high degree of either horizontal or torsional flexibility.
Sandwich mountings may be used to decouple modes of vibration by the use of mountings inclined at an angle beneath equipment and for applications where it is desirable to accommodate relative movement between adjacent structures such as overhead gantries and walkways.
