Description

Getzner Isotop pressure-tension elements are highly specialized isolation components engineered to handle dynamic loads that fluctuate between pressure (compression) and tensile forces (tension/pull). Made from high-strength materials, often with a high-quality stainless steel housing for durability and corrosion resistance, these elements use specialized elastomers as the isolation layer to deliver effective vibration isolation and reliable impact damping.

Crucially, these elements ensure high stability and are indispensable in applications where machines or components are subjected to aggressive dynamic forces, lateral movements, or potential uplift. Their ability to manage forces in all directions ensures the protected machinery maintains position and suffers minimal structural stress. The versatility and robustness make them some of the best isolation products for challenging industrial and construction environments.

Know More about Isotop® pressure-tension elements :

1. What are Isotop® pressure-tension elements?

   They are special components developed by Getzner to reliably absorb both pressure (compressive) and tensile (pulling/lifting) forces simultaneously while providing vibration isolation.

2. What is the core isolation component?

   The isolation is provided by high-performance elastomers, specifically Sylodyn® and Sylodamp®, which are integrated into a robust high-strength metal housing (often stainless steel).

3. What is the main function of the elements?

   To damp and isolate vibrations and impacts from machinery, especially in applications where dynamic operation, wind, or seismic forces could cause lifting or strong horizontal loads.

4. What is a key benefit of the stainless steel housing?

   The stainless steel housing provides maximum corrosion protection, ensuring durability and resistance, especially important for outdoor and industrial use.

5. What sectors commonly use these elements?

   They are used extensively in machine engineering, building construction, and for securing building services equipment (BSE) like cooling towers and pumps.

6. Do the elements resist forces in all three spatial directions?

   Yes, specialized models like the Isotop® DZE 3D are designed to absorb loads in all spatial directions (vertical pressure/tension and horizontal shear).

7. What is the typical load capacity range for the standard DZE series?

   The standard Isotop® DZE elements cover a load range between approximately 24 kg and 1,030 kg per single element.

8. What is the load capacity for the block elements?

   The block elements (Isotop® DZE-BL) combine multiple units to handle very high loads, ranging from approximately 1,635 kg to over 4,135 kg per block element.

9. What is the minimum natural frequency achievable?

   The DZE series can achieve a low natural frequency, typically starting from 7  Hz for the DZE and around 9.6 Hz for the DZE Mini, providing effective isolation of low-frequency noise.

10. Do the DZE elements reduce strong amplitudes?

    Yes, the high-performance damper inside is specifically designed to reduce strong amplitudes caused by shock or sudden dynamic forces.

11. In which situations do tensile (lifting) forces occur?

    Tensile forces occur with variable-speed motors, high-pressure pumps when starting up, wind loads (e.g., on recoolers or rooftop equipment), and strong lateral acceleration.

12. Are they used for isolating transformers?

    Yes, they can be used for isolating large industrial equipment, including transformers, to dampen both operational vibrations and external forces.

13. What is the typical horizontal force resistance?

    The DZE-1 element, for example, is designed to handle horizontal shear forces up to 5 kN per element.

14. Are the elements supplied ready for installation?

    Yes, they are delivered as pre-assembled elements, which allows for rapid and efficient on-site installation.

15. Are there compact versions available?

    Yes, the Isotop® DZE Mini is a compact version with a low installation height (e.g., 49 mm), suitable for applications with restricted space.

16. What is the permissible temperature range?

    The elements are designed for reliable operation within a temperature range of -30 °C to +70 °C.

17. What threading is typically used for connecting the elements?

    The connections often use standard metric threading, such as M10 or M12, sometimes requiring a fine-pitch thread for precise connections.

18. Does the product require special maintenance?

    The robust construction, high-quality materials (stainless steel, durable elastomers), and continuous design ensure minimal to no maintenance is required over the long service life.

19. What does the inclusion of Sylodyn® and Sylodamp® achieve?

    Sylodyn® provides high resilience for low-frequency spring action, while Sylodamp® provides the necessary material damping to prevent excessive oscillation and stabilize the system under dynamic load.
