Shock Tech VAB Series Details

Shock Tech VAB Series

DESCRIPTION

The VAB series of isolators are medium to low-frequency, bonded inner plate mount assemblies. The bonded inner plate and geometric symmetry makes for goof proof installations and longer service life. All mounts in the series perform high levels of vibration isolation >30Hz at rated loads of 40 to 4,560 pounds (18Kg to 2,068Kg). VAB series mounts are excellent for use in internal combustion engine installations as the primary mount. They are also a good selection for electric motors where directly or indirectly attached accessory imbalance is present as seen with piston compressors and pumps. Standard mount geometry throughout the series and compatibility with Shock Tech RB1-5 and VABB Bushing Mounts makes for easy mount and performance upgrade when payload changes in mission or load.

Applications:

Heavy-duty vehicles and large trucks

Off-road equipment

Construction equipment

Electric motors and internal combustion engines

Vehicle cabs and seats

Radiators, heaters and gas tanks

Vehicular electronics and mobile shelters

Munitions storage
