APSOvib® Vibration-Insulating Components

The success of a whole system often depends on seemingly minor details: In a modern rail transport vehicle, there mustn't be any noises from fans or other components transmitted into the passenger area. Consequently, these auxiliary power units have to be mechanically decoupled by using high-performance isolation elements. The hanger elements, which can be used for the equipment on the roof, in the interior or underneath the car body, had to provide optimal vibration and acoustic isolation, while weighing as little as possible, and taking up as little space as possible.

Security against tearing off, isolation frequency ratios, dynamic forces with tension loads and thrust, compliance with the EN45545 standard, attention to interfaces - all make the initial specifications appear impossible to reconcile. But thanks to our empirical knowledge and numerical simulation, we find a solution, even if it would hardly have been conceivable before. Thanks to our engineering, manufacturing as well as testing capabilities, we will also find the ideal design for your application. Development and production work hand in hand at Angst+Pfister. The development engineers cooperate directly with the manufacturing and supply chain departments to keep costs low and quality high.
