Seismic Isolators: AEQM Spring-Flex Series

VMC AEQM & AEQM -R Spring Flex Seismic Isolators

VMC Series "AEQM" Spring Flex Seismic Isolators are designed for restrained and seismic applications through zone 4. These mountings are capable of withstanding a minimum of 1.0 g acceleratedforce in all directions, and provide static deflections up to 2 inches and loads to 2500lbs. When properly installed and adjusted, the AEQM series will restrain mechanical equipment during a seismic event. This is accomplished through their inherent restrained design and internal upward rebound plate which limits motion to 1/4" in all directions. Aeqm isolators are approved by the State of California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Develpoment Anchorage Pre-Approval Number R-0189. VMC has designed two versions of theAEQM for use in different applications. When attaching the baseplate to structural steel, the standard version can be utilized to obtain adequate restraint capacity. However, when attaching to concrete or when increased strength in steel attachments are required, the AEQM-R has been designed with a larger baseplate to allow for proper anchor bolt spacing. All ratings are based on destructive testings and analyses which have been approved by OSHPD in the state of California, and are certified by a licensed Professional Engineer registered in the State of California.
