RED-LINE™ ANCHOR PADSTYPE HB, EB, DB, SB & FB

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

The nylon-bonded surface of RED-LINE ANCHOR PADS pro-vides a high coefficient of friction to effectively prevent ma-chinery from "creeping" and "walking". These pads are notaffected by most oils and solutions found in manufacturing plants. Available in standard sheets of 36" x 60" for wool and36" x 72" for non-wool, consult the factory for quotations oncut-to-size prices. When properly installed, RED-LINE AN- CHOR PADS conform to OSHA requirements for machine an-choring.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS SERVICES

UNISORB provides vibration analyzation services as part ofits overall engineering assistance program to meet everycustomer's machinery installation need. Our engineers are thoroughly trained in the use of state of the art vibration ana-lyzing equipment and are experienced in analysis of technicaldata collected for every machinery shock and vibration instal- lation problem. Solving difficult machinery installation prob-lems by providing comprehensive engineered solutions is ourprimary mission. Contact Unisorb Engineering Department fordetails. This basic approach has been applied satisfactorily toequipment from ¼ horsepower electric motors to 2,000ton capacity stamping presses. The machine foot is com-pletely isolated from contact with either the mounting structure or anchor bolt by isolation material. Elastomerictubing (of the appropriate size) is used for the resilientbushing around the anchor bolt.

CASE HISTORY

UNISORB was contacted by a company planning to re- locate 41 assorted cold headers, bolt makers and nutforming machines from one plant to another. We rec-ommended the use of Type D-½ RED-LINE PADS with adhesive for proper machine installation but our pro-posal was initially rejected by the customer as being tooexpensive. They selected a competitive non-felt mate- rial which was lower in cost.Almost as soon as the machines were installed andoperating the company began to experience failure in the installations. A significant number of machines had"walked" off their pads, and in some cases were stoppedonly by the walls of the factory.We were again contacted and our recommendation wasto reinstall at least some of the machines on RED-LINE PADS. Once our installation was completed and the re- sults observed the company requested that all of the pads in the plant be replaced. Our approach to the cor- rect application of pads is now the approved standard method with the company. 2
