Vee Mountings

A high load capacity mounting with relatively large rubber volume providing
a high degree of vibration and noise isolation and makes it ideally suited
for suspending engines installed in public service and goods vehicles.

Features:

Vee mountings have ideal stiffness characteristics for rail vehicle engine
suspensions. The vertical stiffness rate ensures that when the mounting
is properly loaded, the vertical natural frequency does not coincide with
the body bending frequency. The high longitudinal stiffness controls shunting
shock motion. The mounting is usually connected to the sole bars via the
base casting, and a buffer is attached to the Vee section casting to limit
tensile loads.

The Vee mounting has the following features:

• Three dissimilar translational stiffnesses for the best vibration isolation
and motion control.

• Strong castings for safety and reliability.
