FLOOR SUPPORTS AND ANTI-VIBRATION FEET IN VULCANIZED SBR

The products included in the EPD are part of the SMART CLIMA line, which includes professional air-conditioning (HVAC) accessories manufactured at the plants in via Caduti del Lavoro 7 – Plant 2, in Vittorio Veneto (TV). The floor-mounted supports and anti-vibration mounts of the SMART CLIMA line by Tecnosystemi are available in three main types that differ in terms of structure and intended use:

• EXTREME for continuous bases and heavy loads
• SPK for sizeable block supports
• ZEUS for point-load, adjustable feet.

The product is made up of several components working together. The main material of the anti-vibration foot is vulcanized SBR obtained from recycling (granules), which acts as the load-bearing anti-vibration element that decouples the unit from the bearing surface. These granules are held together by a polyurethane binder, a resin that binds and agglomerates the SBR granules, giving the block cohesion, shape and mechanical strength. An aluminium insert, consisting of an aluminium-alloy metal profile or element, secures the unit and stiffens the support, while a metal plate distributes the load, spreading it across the surface and anchoring the fixing screw. Fixing is carried out by means of a hexagon-head screw that secures the equipment and components, accompanied by a metal load-distribution washer placed under the screw head or nut to spread the pressure and protect the bearing surface. Finally, a spacer tube, a tubular element, maintains the correct height and spacing between components during fixing
