SE114 MOUNTINGS

What is the Sandwich SE114 mounting?

The Paulstra Sandwich SE114 anti-vibration mounting consists of one or more elastomer layers positioned between flat, parallel metal plates.

Designed to withstand high compressive loads, it offers a natural frequency of between 5 and 13 Hz. Its mechanical characteristics mainly vary according to the elastomer hardness and the number of intermediate metal plates.

The elastomer used is polychloroprene, providing good resistance to weathering. The metal plates are protected against corrosion.

What are the benefits of the Sandwich mounting?

✅ Low profile: the mounting can be integrated into installations where limited height is available.

✅ Large supporting surface: its design allows high loads to be distributed effectively.

✅ High compressive load capacity: the Sandwich mounting is particularly suitable for heavy machinery and equipment.

✅ Can be stacked: several mountings can be combined when required by the installation configuration.

✅ Multidirectional movement: the suspended assembly can move in different directions.

✅ High stiffness ratio: the ratio between compression stiffness and shear stiffness allows the behaviour of the mounting to be adapted to the installation requirements.

✅ Designed and manufactured in France.

What applications are Sandwich mountings suitable for?

The Sandwich SE114 mounting is designed for heavy equipment exposed to vibrations and requiring a high compressive load capacity.

It can notably be used under grinders, generator sets, machine tools, overhead cranes, presses, shears, transformers and other heavy machinery.

How do you choose the right Sandwich SE114 mounting?

The choice of mounting mainly depends on the applied load, the elastomer hardness and the space available beneath the equipment.

✅ Load per mounting: each reference has a specific operating range that must be respected.

✅ Elastomer hardness: versions available in 45 or 60 ShA allow the stiffness to be adapted to the supported load.

✅ With or without an intermediate plate: the construction of the mounting affects its mechanical characteristics and deformation capacity.

✅ Dimensions: the overall size of the mounting must be compatible with the available surface beneath the machine.

What load can a Sandwich SE114 mounting support?

The Sandwich SE114 range covers high loads of up to 30,000 daN per mounting, depending on the reference and selected hardness. The natural frequencies of 5 to 13 Hz are specified at the maximum loads of the operating ranges.

What are the dimensions of the Sandwich mounting?

The diagram below shows the main dimensions of the Sandwich SE114 mounting with fixings. The table lists the dimensions of the references available on our website.

How do you install a Sandwich mounting?

The Sandwich mounting must be installed so as to ensure proper load distribution across all support points.

✅ Distribute the loads correctly: each mounting must operate within its specified load range.

✅ Provide a suitable supporting surface: the metal plates must rest correctly on the surfaces provided for mounting.

✅ Allow for mounting movement: the installation must allow the suspended assembly to move without restricting the operation of the elastomer.

✅ Mountings can be stacked: when specified by the system design, several mountings can be stacked to adapt the behaviour of the suspension.
