AMC MECANOCAUCHO
AMC ANTI-VIBRATION MOUNTS
Since 1969 AMC MECANOCAUCHO has pioneered the manufacture and design of articles for the reduction of integral vibrations from structures and air-borne noise.
They create comprehensive ranges of anti-vibration mounts based on metal rubber and rubber spring for the effective reduction of structure borne noise.
CB Mounts
The AMC-MECANOCAUCHO® type CB mounts are installed in pairs. Installation is simplified as both mounts fixed with one through bolt and a washers at each end.
Hydraulic Mounts
The AMC-MECANOCAUCHO® Hydraulic mounts combine an spring and a hydraulic damper in a single compact unit that allows tuning the spring and the damper independently.
SH Mounts
Each mount consists of two heavy duty square outer plates with corner hole fixings fully bonded to circular profiled rubber layers separated by interleaf plates.

BRB
The BRB type AMC Mecanocaucho® mounts are antivibration elements which work the rubber in shear and compression. Their tall height profiles produce large deflections, low natural frequencies, and excellent vibration isolation results. This range of mounts is suitable for applications where high vibration isolation in the 85-95% range is a priority.
BSB
The BSB type which work the rubber in shear and compression with an optimal ratio of stiffness and horizontal stability. These mounts are really interesting when stability is a priority in an antivibration suspension.
MARINE MOUNT
The Marine-type AMC-Mecanocaucho® mounts are ideal for mobile applications thanks to their rugged architecture.
CONES
The AMC-Mecanocaucho® cones work the rubber in shear compression. They are composed of two parallel conical metal parts. They have two washers, one as a buffer and the other for centering.
MD
The AMC-Mecanocaucho MD-type mounts have similar architecture to the BSB and BRB. The advantage of this mount is that it is a high-damping elastic compound.
Cones 100
The AMC-Mecanocaucho® mount cone 100 works the elastomer at shear compression. It is comprised of a highstrength external metal armour and a conical internal armour which includes a leveller to align the suspended unit.
VD
Type VD AMC-Mecanocaucho® mount works the elastomer at shear compression. It is comprised of 2 metal parts which allow it to be installed with its two built-in screws.
V-SHAPED MARINE TYPE
The AMC-Mecanocaucho ® V-shaped marine mount works the elastomer at shear compression. It is comprised of 2 metal parts which permit its installation by means of a screw at the top and two holes for securing it to the chassis.
V-SHAPED GENERATOR MOUNT
The V-shaped AMC-Mecanocaucho® Generator supports are comprised of two symmetrically-tilted metal parts with a screw on each side.
DRD
The D.R.D. antivibration mounts by Mecanocaucho® offer great elasticity in the radial and axial direction.
DSD
The D.S.D. mount offers great radial and axial elasticity. It is very suitable in the elastic suspensions of machines that present vibrations of horizontal components.
ATP
The A.T.P. mount is an elastic mount conceived to provide antivibration isolation for medium and high frequencies in any kind of machines (gen sets, motor pumps, motor compressors, hydraulic units, etc.)
AT
The “A.T.” mount is specially designed to provide isolation for medium and high frequencies.
SCB
The SCB elastic mounts are elements that work on the basis of compression since thanks to their design and assembly they provide an anti-rebound effect, thus permitting safety assemblies.
SCH
The AMC-Mecanocaucho® SCH type mounts are made of two parts of rubber, one of which bears an inside metal bushing which acts as a guide through the machine anchoring screw.
SPS
The SPS mount is comprised of an external cylindrical hood and an inner tapering trunk. Two elastic elastomer parts located in the inside are sandwiched between the two metal parts.
LEVELLING MACHINE MOUNTS
The N.F.-type AMC Mecanocaucho mounts are used in cases where light or heavy machines should not be fixed to the floor or ground.
RUBBER BLOCKS AND MATS
There are different mats, in different sizes, rubber grades and hardnesses. The most classic use is for damping high frequency vibrations without the need for any anchoring.
AMC MECANOCAUCHO® BUFFERS
The rigid buffers used as ends of stroke or to check moving parts give rise to very high stresses at the time of the impact and therefore to rapid deterioration, accompanied by an often unacceptable noise, particularly when these impacts are repeated periodically.

AMC MECANOCAUCHO® BOBBINGS
The AMC Mecanocaucho® Bobbings are devices for making elastic anchorings or fixings. They can be used in a wide variety of applications, particularly for elastic suspensions and antivibration isolation of machines and different mechanical organs.
Installation principles
The hood mounts should be be installed between two parallel and perfectly flat surfaces. Mounts operating tilted or twisted do not work properly. This may be due to incorrect alignment, tolerances in the building of the chassis or over-tightened torque during the installation of the Antivibration mounts.
