Support of Exhaust Pipes

The client is a supplier to the railway industry.

Starting Point

The catalyst and the exhaust pipes cause vibrations in railway Diesel locomotives, which are transmitted through body sound transmission to the surrounding vehicle structure.

Task

Minimising the impact of the body sound transmission to the surrounding vehicle structure while taking into account the railway-specific requirements (mobile application).

Solution

  • Elastic support of catalyst / exhaust pipe.
  • Elastic support using clamps with all-metal pads.

In Addition to Excellent Vibration Isolation, these offer special advantages due to their individual design

  • Integrated Damping
  • High / Low Temperature Resistant
  • Compensation of the Longitudinal Directioned Thermal Expansion
  • Corrosion Resistant
  • Long Life – Reducing the Life-Cycle Costs
  • Demolition Safe

Advantages of the Element:

  • Integrated Damping with good Isolation
  • Corrosion Resistant
  • Low Weight
  • Long Life – Reducing the Life-Cycle Costs
  • Demolition Safe
  • High Temperature Resistance
  • Dynamic Effect in 3 Levels
  • Good Recording of the Horizontal Forces
  • Resistant to Aggressive Media (etc oil, grease, dust, ...)
