UNISORB ®VIBRATION ISOLATION PAD MATERIALSVIBRATION ANALYSIS SERVICESRED-LINE ANCHOR PADSTYPE HB, EB, DB, SB & FBPRODUCT APPLICATIONSThe nylon-bonded surface of RED-LINE ANCHOR PADS providesa high coefficient of friction to effectively prevent machineryfrom "creeping" and "walking". These pads are notaffected by most oils and solutions found in manufacturingplants. 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 anchoring.BOLT-THROUGH ISOLATIONRED-LINE PADSTYPE H, E, D, S & FAvailable in a variety of densities and thicknesses to fit machineload requirements, RED-LINE PADS provide effective,low cost vibration control for machinery. Available in standardsheets of 36" x 60" for wool and 36" x 72" for non wool,consult the factory for quotations on cut-to-size prices.VIBRATION ANALYSIS SERVICESUNISORB provides vibration analyzation services as part ofits overall engineering assistance program to meet everycustomer's machinery installation need.

Solving difficult machinery installation problemsby 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 completelyisolated from contact with either the mountingstructure or anchor bolt by isolation material. Elastomerictubing (of the appropriate size) is used for the resilientbushing around the anchor bolt.CASE HISTORYUNISORB was contacted by a company planning to relocate41 assorted cold headers, bolt makers and nutforming machines from one plant to another. We recommendedthe use of Type D-½ RED-LINE PADS withadhesive for proper machine installation but our proposalwas initially rejected by the customer as being tooexpensive. They selected a competitive non-felt materialwhich was lower in cost.Almost as soon as the machines were installed andoperating the company began to experience failure inthe 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-LINEPADS. Once our installation was completed and the resultsobserved the company requested that all of thepads in the plant be replaced. Our approach to the correctapplication of pads is now the approved standardmethod with the company.2
