PL001 - TSC - Combined Steel Spring & Rubber Spring Unit Isolators
Our comprehensive range of standard and special purpose products utilises all the principal means of vibration
and shock isolation, including steel springs and natural and synthetic elastomers and is backed by in-house
computer software written and developed by Christie & Grey.
Our highly qualified engineers have extensive practical and theoretical experience to solve all types of problems
from structure-borne noise to shock on fighting ships.
As part of our complete service we can also carry out investigations including on site measurements using the
latest instrumentation, prepare specifications, provide site supervision and a full installation
service for floating floors and cork and rubber foundations.
The company's way forward lies in the field of building noise control, marine and offshore engineering, power
generation, rail traction, commercial vehicles and general industrial and commercial developments - these are all
areas where Christie & Grey has and will continue to develop a worldwide reputation.
Every company maintains that it is unique in the breadth of expertise it offers - the difference is, at
Christie & Grey we'll be happy to show you the proof.
The Purpose of Isolators. Natural rubber materials show internal friction which may be approximated
to viscous damping with a ratio of C = 0.05. If C = 1 there is a condition
a) To reduce the transmission of forces from the mounted equipment to known as Critical Damping, when a mass if displaced and released will

b) To protect sensitive equipment from the motion of the supporting
structure. This equation can be plotted as shown in Figure 2 and it may be seen
when ω2 = k/m force transmission becomes infinite.
Disturbances may be steady state oscillations, non-repeating transients or
a combination of both. This is known as the state of resonance when the oscillation amplitude
would also be infinite without any damping. The other curves shown on
How Vibration Isolators Work. this plot show the effect of adding damping such as provided by natural
rubber or fluid filled dampers.
At present virtually all isolators are passive using steel springs, rubber 5.00

is given by :
Efficiency = (1 - T) x 100 %

The efficiency appears to approach 100% as the forcing frequency
increases but in the real situation other factors such as flexibility in the
supporting structure and isolating material standing waves result in a
RIGID FOUNDATION practical limit of about 97 - 98% for most types of isolator.

Application Notes:
All connections to and from isolated machine must include flexible lengths, not only to prevent transmission of vibration through the
connections and allow the system freedom of movement, but also to avoid possible failure of the connections.
Provision is made for levelling screws in the base of each isolator to facilitate installation and alignment, particularly if, for example, a
flexibly mounted prime mover is driving a solidly mounted gearbox.
Analysis of the isolated system is normally undertaken by Christie & Grey to predict the response to ship motion, machine forces and
shocks to enable the correct selection of flexible connections.

General Notes
Check acoustic wall tie is suitable for the type of installation and cavity size i.e. external face brick / blockwork to inner cavity walls, wind
post or studwork.
Each masonry tie must be embedded a minimum of 50mm into brick / blockwork.
Acoustic wall ties must be installed with rubber part upper most or ‘top’ on masonry tie.
Ensure wall loading and spacings do not exceed acoustic wall tie maximum working load of 0.75 kN.
It is important that no oil or solvent be allowed to contaminate the wall tie rubber during installation (refer to data sheet DS 041 for details of
natural rubber properties).

SRS floating floor systems have been successfully used in applications such as Plant rooms, Offices, Prestigious
Apartment Blocks, TV, Radio and Recording Studios, Cinemas, Concert Halls and Audiometry rooms.
DESIGN FEATURES
Laminated steel and natural rubber elastomer bearings are located beneath rigid steel channels positioned to suit the load
distribution arrangement.
Natural rubber bearings are true elastomers and are applied within their linear stiffness range to achieve the required design
performance, low creep and resultant design life.
Standard design can provide natural frequencies down to 6 Hz.
Profile permanent steel shuttering keyed to concrete for greater rigidity of floating floor slab.
All steel is galvanized and elastomer bearings are unaffected by water, vermin or other pests.
Floor thickness from 100 - 300 mm with imposed loads of up to 20 kN/m2.
Sound transmission loss is dependent upon concrete thickness and air space. Typically a type SRS floating floor can be designed
PL011/1 - OCTOBER 2009 - Rev. D
to provide a loss of at least 20 - 25 dB in excess of that provided by a single concrete slab construction.
Under the design condition, the life of a SRS floating floor system will be at least the life of the building.
MATERIALS
The following materials are supplied to permit the construction of a floating floor.
For full installation instructions please refer to our data sheet DS036.
In the interests of continual development, the Company reserves the right to make modifications to these details without notice.
By decoupling two floor masses with an air gap between, the SRI of the total structure under perfect conditions will be approximately the
sum of the SRI’s of the individual masses. In practice, this is never quite achieved because of the flanking transmission and low order
coupling via the airspace between the two masses. In the case of the SRS system, the space between the channel rails is filled with
mineral wool which has the advantage of reducing the build up of reverberant noise and acoustic resonances within the air space and
also provides an additional thermal barrier.
To control the transmission of structure borne noise, the SRS system in standard form has significant advantages over other systems in
that it is possible to design a floating floor with natural frequencies down to 6 Hz (for exceptional circumstances, lower frequencies can be
achieved).
In many circumstances, this may permit plant to be located directly on the floor or at least mounted off the floor with a simple spring or
rubber vibration isolation system. In the situation where a massive item of equipment needs to be located on the floating floor, which may
cause a significant asymmetric loading condition, it may be necessary to provide a machinery plinth which locally penetrates the floating
floor structure upon which the individual item of plant may be mounted and isolated in the most appropriate manner. Where internal walls
are supported off the floating floor, flexible acoustic wall ties can be provided to brace between internal and external walls to maintain both
structural and acoustic integrity.
Irrespective of the complexity of the application, a comprehensive design and site installation service using our own experienced staff is
provided to ensure specified noise criteria are met and maintained.
The SRS floating floor system has been subjected to tests by independent consultants in accordance with International Standards and the
static and dynamic characteristics of the natural rubber elastomer bearings have also been independently tested.

Any transient non repeating force or displacement can be considered a shock. Usually the period of such an event is similar to or
shorter than the natural period of motion of the equipment being considered.
The disturbance may be a force as might be created by a short circuit across an alternator or a displacement such as an earthquake.
The magnitude of a shock is normally large enough to give rise to concern that damage will occur to the machine or its supports. In
some cases the functioning of the machine will be affected during the shock although no permanent damage will result.
1) Earthquakes - A typical ground motion of about 0.5 g acceleration with most energy below 5 Hz and mainly horizontal. One
earthquake may last 30 seconds and the amplitudes of the ground may be considerably amplified by most building structures.
Mounted equipment may be subject to significant floor motions at well defined frequencies.
2) Explosions - Short duration impulsive forces which can give rise to long period resonances in buildings or other structures.
Examples include charges used for seismic surveying, quarrying, terrorists' bombs and naval gunfire or under water mines.
3) Collisions - These include problems with vehicles, items on conveyor belts and packages being dropped.
4) Internal forces - These particularly affect electrical generators and reciprocating machines, as with passing through
resonances during start up, shut down and short circuits.
1) Time history - A model is created on the computer and its responses over successive small time steps are calculated to form a
continuous history of the machine motion.
2) Spectral response method - A more general method based on the theoretical response of a single degree of freedom
damped spring/mass model at each frequency of interest. The individual responses for each mode of motion are built up in a complex
response for three dimensional methods.

Simplified Models
Shock problems create large displacements which cause
mountings to buffer. Indeed many mountings incorporate
flexible stop units to control this effect. Whilst these non
linear effects can be included in complex models, the
results are often difficult to understand. Often a simpler
one or two dimensional model will provide accurate
enough results to enable the basic system to be refined.
The calculation shown here is an example of such a time
history. Comparison with a more complex method using
a three dimensional non linear analysis has shown
maximum displacements and accelerations to be very
similar, the simpler method requires less time to set up
and run.

Shown below are some typical mountings. In many cases a 'shock mounting’ is a vibration isolator used with resilient stops to control
motion. In most cases damping is essential either using separate viscous dampers or using the internal damping of the rubber material.

Type PD.
Type RM.
Type X.
Many military bases include facilities hardened against attack. These may be subject to underground explosions and require protection of
delicate machinery. The shocks are often specified in the form of machine response spectra and the equipment to be protected is usually
of commercial standard with fragility levels below the anticipated shock levels.
The mountings are usually rubber or damped steel springs with travel of up to 60 mm in all directions. In order to reduce the peak forces
on the equipment the springs need to be of linear stiffness. Examples are the Types FCR and X Mounts shown above.
The large relative amplitudes induced require highly flexible pipe and cable connections. These are often of considerable mass and may
need shock analysis in their own right to ensure satisfactory performance.
For some projects the shock displacements are smaller permitting the use of mountings with stop units in built. These tend to transmit
PL028/3 - JUNE 2006 - Rev. C
higher accelerations whilst restricting the relative displacements. An example is the Type MPM shown above.
Of the conditions met at sea, there are three that concern us here.
1) Collision with another vessel or wave induced shock - This results in relatively small hull accelerations (up to
about 3 g) even on small craft. However, the relative displacement can be large if the duration of the shock is
greater than the machine mounting system natural period. Approved naval mountings such as the type PD are used
with separate resilient stop units to control the displacement under ship motion conditions. If no other shock is
present, a commercial marine mounting with internal stops is often employed.
2) Intermediate shock from gunfire or wave slamming on fast patrol craft - Accelerations of up to about 10 g may be seen usually of
short duration and small relative displacements. Commercial mountings with robust internal stops such as our type TSC may be employed
although each application will require a response calculation to ensure adequate strength and deflection capability.
3) Underwater explosions - These produce much larger shocks with seatings acceleration of over 200 g. Most standard specifications
show this maximum input shock reducing if a higher mass is attached to the seatings, since the force impulse can only create a finite
momentum. However, flexible mountings reduce the effective mass since the system prevents the reaction force from being transmitted
back to the seating. A calculation can be made of this effect so that a prediction of the seatings time history can be made from the motion
curves presented in the specification. Since these shocks combine larger displacements and accelerations, the mounting system is usually a
compromise incorporating resilient stop units set with sufficient clearance to permit some relative displacements whilst reducing the peak
acceleration. A shock of 200 g and 40 mm displacement may be reduced to about 15 g and 25 mm displacement on the equipment, but
much depends upon the shape of the shock pulse and the allowable clearances.
In some cases yielding devices such as stretchable bolts are incorporated to absorb more energy. However, these would normally require
replacement after an attack and hence their design is to protect against higher shock forces only.
