Applications
OWC’s OWSNE standard range and OWSHD heavy duty range are designed for oscillating suspension ‘knees’:
– Vibrating Screens
– Vibrating conveyors
– vibrating dryers
– vibrating compaction tables
– other vibrating machines
Features
The four torsion elements are combined in different ways to allow the implementation of two types of suspensions: OWSNE and OWSHD. The two models differ in terms of length and opening angle of the legs. This difference brings a different kinematic mechanism that ensures a higher stiffness than the OWSHD models. With the same overall dimensions, they allow a higher maximum vertical load by slightly reducing the elasticity. Both types guarantee very low natural frequency values close to 2Hz, which makes it possible to achieve isolation with respect to the supporting structure of the vibrating machine of over 98% at minimum excitation frequencies. OWC vibratory bearings resist to impulse feeding. They can operate in any type of ambient temperature between -40°C and 80°C. The special kinematic mechanism and the characteristics of the rubber insert allow to obtain a transversal stiffness approximately equal to 10 times the longitudinal stiffness (direction of conveyance of the material). This results in improved efficiency of the process, greater safety and the possibility of eliminating the need for lateral guides or additional devices to control the movement of the machine during shutdown in the transient state.
OWC vibration suspensions painted RAL 5011.
Advantages
High vertical damping
High transversal stiffness
No maintenance and regular cleaning required (visible wear indicator based on suspension height measurements, measurements before and after work determine when replacement is required)
Dust, water and corrosion resistant.
