Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document discusses the installation of machines in existing buildings, focusing on the challenges of ceiling load capacity and vibrations. It introduces AirLoc ceiling supports as a solution to enhance ceiling stiffness and manage vibrations effectively.

Specifications and Benefits
  • AirLoc ceiling supports are designed to stiffen ceilings and adjust their natural frequency.
  • Supports are made from double T-sections with high-precision wedge mounts and AirLoc isolation pads.
  • Load capacity can reach up to 50 metric tons using Wedgmount® precision levelers.
  • Installation is maintenance-free, adjustable, and requires no drilling.

Installation Procedure
Supports are installed at predetermined points based on natural frequency measurements. The system allows for height adjustments to manage load capacity effectively.

Practical Examples
  • Industrial-scale print shop: A new, heavier printing machine was installed using nine supports with wedge mount precision levelers, allowing for seamless operation.
  • Print shop - art prints: Additional steel supports increased the ceiling's natural frequency, enabling the operation of a new printing machine without issues.
  • Industrial use: PCB component-insertion machines were supported across two floors, reducing vibrations and ensuring stable operations.

Conclusion
AirLoc ceiling supports provide a reliable solution for enhancing ceiling load capacity and reducing vibrations in industrial settings, ensuring uninterrupted machine operations.

Ceiling supports - Reduce ceiling vibrations-1

Optimal building utilisation with ceiling supports When existing buildings are used for a new purpose, for example when installing new machines, ceilings may quickly reach their permissible load bearing capacity. Another risk is that critical vibrations are caused by the machines as a result of the low natural frequency of the ceilings. Isolating the machine usually does not provide the desired results. What is required is a higher inherent stiffness of the ceiling achieved through structural changes. The easy-to-install AirLoc ceiling supports are perfectly suited for this. Combined with high-precision wedge mounts they are the ideal solution. Elastic ceiling supports are installed at points predetermined by means of natural frequency measurements. The supports normally consist of double T-sections fitted with a high-precision wedge mount to at least one end of the section. The wedge mounts, in turn, are lined with AirLoc isolation pads. This means that the previously determined load capacity can be adjusted at any time via the height-adjustable wedge mounts.
