Product catalog summary
General Overview
VIBRAX®DAMP B is an elastomeric bearing designed for vibration isolation and structure-borne sound insulation. It is particularly suitable for supporting prefabricated structural components such as stairs, landings, and balcony slabs. The bearing is made from a high-quality elastomer mix, ensuring a long service life and maintenance-free operation.

Applications and Key Data
  • Function: Damping bearing for prefabricated concrete elements to reduce vibrations and noise.
  • Permissible Pressure: ≤ 10 N/mm²
  • Range of Application: 0.3 - 0.7 N/mm²
  • Damping Performance: Up to 20 dB for 10 mm thickness and up to 26 dB for 20 mm thickness at 100 Hz excitation.
  • Materials: EPDM with a hardness of 60 ± 5 Shore A
  • Shape and Dimensions: Linear bearing with a width up to 200 mm and thickness of 10 or 20 mm.

Design Criteria
The load-deformation behavior is influenced by the roughness of the connecting surface, with polished steel providing the lowest friction. Stiffness and natural frequency are related to pressure and excitation frequency, with specific performance metrics provided for various conditions.

Delivery Format
VIBRAX®DAMP B is available in rolls with a width of 200 mm and length of 10 m. Custom sections with pre-drilled holes can be supplied upon request.

Assembly Instructions
Before installation, ensure the surface is flat and clean. Any protrusions should be removed, and grout used if necessary. The bearing can be laid simply by butt-joining without additional measures.

Suggested Text for Tender Requests
Specifications for supply and installation include material (EPDM), permissible pressure (10 N/mm²), and application range (0.3 to 0.7 N/mm²). Custom designs are available upon request.

Project References
Notable projects include the Municipal Library of Stuttgart, Convention Center in Hong Kong, and Stade de Suisse in Switzerland.

Vibration isolation Applications and key data General Structural positioning of the bearings VIBRAX®DAMP B is a profiled unreinforced deformation bearing with special properties in relation to structure-borne sound insulation and vibration isolation. The bearings should be located in the reinforced area of the connecting structural components. VIBRAX®DAMP B is suitable in particular for providing bearing support to prefabricated structural components, such as: • Stairs Function • Damping bearing for prefabricated concrete elements, combating the transmission of vibrations and structure-borne...

VIBRAX® – Elastomeric bearings-3

Vibration isolation Design criteria Compression curves 2.5 The load-deformation behaviour of the bearing is strongly influenced by the roughness of the connecting surface. The lowest friction and thus the largest deflection is to be expected against polished steel. The deflection values in the presented range of between 0 and 1.0 N/mm2 have therefore been determined on the basis of placing against the most commonly used surfaces such as polished steel plates and concrete. In relation to pressure, for excitation at 10, 20, 40 and 100 Hz and at 90 dB (reference value vo = 5 x 10-5 mm/s) In relation...

Vibration isolation Delivery, installation and tendering Delivery format Suggested text for tender requests VIBRAX®DAMP B has a thickness of 10 and 20 mm. It is normally delivered in rolls of width 200 mm and length 10 m. Tailored sections, with pre-drilled holes according to customer specifications, can also be supplied on request. Supply and installation of unreinforced sound insulation and deformation bearings, on flat, firm surface Range of application as sound insulation: 0.3 to 0.7 N/mm2 Before laying of VIBRAX®DAMP B, the surface on which it is to be laid must be checked for flatness....
