Conical Mounts

Description:

GMT can offer a large range of conical mounts (also known as conical suspensions springs) principally for use on rail vehicle secondary suspension systems, but also suitable for other industrial applications. Their compact design offers high load capacity along with large static vertical deflection. By incorporating slots or voids in the rubber sections, their horizontal stiffness can be altered. Buffers can also be incorporated in to the conical suspension spring design in order to absorb additional shock loads.

Our Conical Mounts provide very effective noise and vibration reduction through a simple design, these can be used on a number of different on and off road vehicles.


Benefits:

The conical mount design allows for considerable spring excursion and offers a progressive stiffness curve. Stiffness characteristics can be changed by altering the geometry of the sections, varying the number of metal interleaves or by adding slots in the rubber sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are conical mounts? +
