Machine mountings are used to mount machines in a manner that does not allow excessive horizontal floating. That is, the horizontal stiffness is much greater in all directions than the vertical stiffness. The fact that they bolt down means that these mounts are far superior than the use of mere rubber coated feet when mounting a machine
An ideal anti-vibration mounting for motors, engines, compressors etc. Cone mounts consist of inner and outer metal cones. The outer cone has an oval or rectangular flange for mounting purposes. Top and bottom stop plates are fitted in order to limit deformation under compression and tension. These cone mounts are designed so that the springing is SOFT AXIALLY and VERY STIFF RADIALLY
