Widely used for suspending engines on road vehicles and may also be employed
as springs for vibratory equipment.

Rectangular SAW mounts are also known as “Sandwich” mountings because
they feature a rubber section sandwiched between plates of metal. This
arrangement allows a large difference between the compression and shear
stiffnesses, thus providing the potential to ‘tune’ a mounting system by
rotating the mountings. These mountings are commonly installed in a ‘Vee’
formation to utilise this feature.

Features

• Available with plate or stud fixings.
• Can be loaded in compression or shear, or a combination of both, for example
  in a ‘Vee’ arrangement.
• Can be manufactured with or without interleaves to change the ratio of
  shear to compression stiffness.
