Description

Getzner Isotop® anti vibration ceiling hangers are high-performance spring hangers designed specifically for decoupling ceiling-mounted mechanical and building services equipment (BSE). By using tried-and-tested steel springs within a robust Isotop® housing, these hangers provide a robust and secure single-point attachment while achieving exceptionally effective vibration isolation.

The necessity for these hangers is evident in commercial, residential, and industrial environments where mechanical equipment like fans, pumps, pipework, and ventilation ducts transmit disruptive structure-borne noise into the building. The Isotop® system minimizes this transmission, ensuring a tranquil interior environment and a high quality installation. Key benefits include high stability, simple installation, and a low natural frequency, which is crucial for maximizing isolation efficiency.

The Complete Range of Isotop® Hangers

Gitco-sa.com supplies the complete range of Isotop® ceiling hangers, offering targeted solutions based on load and natural frequency (vibration isolation performance):

• Isotop® SD/Z (Heavy-Duty): Designed for maximum isolation effectiveness. This model handles heavy components with load ranges from 20 kg up to 420 kg, achieving an extremely low natural frequency from 3.2 Hz. This is ideal for large fans or primary pipe runs.

• Isotop® MSN/Z & MSN/Z-LC (Standard): Suitable for lighter to medium loads, managing weights between 3 kg and 90 kg with a natural frequency starting at 3.5 Hz. Perfect for secondary ducts, smaller pipework, or light electrical gear.

Key Applications of Isotop® Hangers

• HVAC and Ventilation Systems: Isolating air handlers, ventilation ducts, and fan coil units suspended from ceilings to prevent operating noise from radiating into occupied spaces.

• Pipework: Decoupling plumbing and pumping systems in commercial and multi-story buildings, preventing water-flow noise and pump vibration transfer.

• Industrial Plants: Providing high quality vibration isolation for light machinery or suspended assembly lines, ensuring a quieter, safer working environment.

We guarantee that our Isotop® anti vibration ceiling hangers are the best isolation products for ceiling-suspended systems. Gitco-sa.com ensures the complete range is available for delivery and project support in Dammam, Al-Khobar, Al Jubail, Riyadh, Jeddah, and across Saudi Arabia.

Know more about Isotop® Hangers:

1. What are Getzner Isotop® anti-vibration ceiling hangers?They are special products, often tension elements, used to elastically suspend various components, primarily in Building Services Equipment (BSE) systems or to support decoupled suspended ceilings.
2. What is the main purpose of the hangers?Their primary function is vibration isolation—to prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise and vibrations generated by mechanical equipment (like fans, ducts, or pipework) from entering the building structure.
3. What is the key elastic element used in the Isotop® hangers?The isolation is primarily achieved using tried-and-tested steel springs, which offer excellent deflection and low natural frequency properties.
4. Are any polyurethane elastomers used in these hangers?Yes, while the spring does the main isolation, materials like Sylomer® or Sylodyn® are often integrated, particularly in the base or as anti-slip mats, to dampen the resonance frequency of the steel spring.
5. What are the main product lines of Isotop® ceiling hangers?Common variants include Isotop® SD/Z (for heavy loads), Isotop® MSN/Z, and Isotop® MSN/Z-LC (for lighter loads and compact installation).
6. What is the most important technical characteristic of these hangers?The most important characteristic is the low natural frequency (f0) they achieve, which is typically as low as 3.2 Hz(for SD/Z) or 3.5 Hz(for MSN/Z).
7. Why is a low natural frequency critical for vibration isolation?A low natural frequency is vital for effectively isolating low-frequency vibrations (e.g., from slow-running fans or ventilation systems), which travel furthest and cause the most disruption in buildings.
8. What is the load capacity range for the heavy-duty model (Isotop® SD/Z)?The SD/Z model offers a broad load range, typically from 20 kg to 420 kg per hanger element, depending on the variant chosen.
9. What is the load capacity range for the lighter-duty model (Isotop® MSN/Z)?The MSN/Z model is designed for lighter applications, covering a load range from 3 kg to 90 kg per hanger.
10. Do the hangers provide precise load control?Yes, the open design of many Isotop® hangers allows for simple visual load control, ensuring the spring is operating within its specified static application range.
11. What specific types of building services equipment are these hangers used for?They are essential for suspending noisy or vibrating elements in HVAC systems, such as ventilation ducts, fans, pipework (water, waste water, heating systems), and sometimes lighter machinery.
12. Are they used for suspending standard acoustic ceilings in apartments?While they can be used, the high-performance Isotop® hangers are typically reserved for critical acoustic environments (like studios, cinemas, or apartments directly below a plant room) or for suspending heavy mechanical systems.
13. Can they be used outdoors or on rooftops?Yes, the metal components are often electro-galvanised or powder-coated to provide a high level of corrosion protection, making them suitable for demanding environments, including rooftops.
14. Do they reduce secondary airborne noise?Yes, by effectively eliminating the transmission of vibration into the ceiling slab, they significantly reduce the secondary airborne noise that would otherwise radiate into the rooms below.
15. What thread size is typically used for the Isotop® SD/Z hanger?The Isotop® SD/Z model usually features an M10 internal thread for connecting to the suspended component.
16. Is the installation complex?No, the spring hangers are designed for simple and flexible installation, typically requiring just one attachment point to the structural ceiling.
17. What is the permissible temperature range for the hangers?They are designed to operate reliably within a broad permissible temperature range of -30 °C to +70 °C.
18. Are the Isotop® hangers maintenance-intensive?No, the steel springs and the robust, protected metal housings are designed for a long service life and require minimal to no maintenance.
19. What is the overall height of the Isotop® SD/Z (unloaded)?The overall unloaded height of the Isotop® SD/Z is approximately 190mm, while the compact MSN/Z-LC model is about 104.6mm.
