Applications
Farrat AWR can be used in any bolt-through connection that requires acoustic isolation such as:
- Steelwork isolation in building structures
- Machine/plant holding down bolts
- Push/pull acoustic connections in conjunction with AWTH Acoustic Washers
- Facade fixings.
Important Note:
If an acoustic washer is omitted then the anti-vibration pad will be bypassed by the fixing bolt and will therefore offer limited isolation as the vibration can be transmitted through the fixing bolt.
Applications
Farrat AWTH can be used in any bolt-through connection which requires acoustic isolation such as:
- Steelwork isolation in building structures
- Machine/plant holding down bolts
- Push/pull acoustic connections
- Facade fixings.
