A bolt provides a direct transmission path for vibration from the machine to the floor, effectively short-circuiting the TICO pad. To prevent this, it is essential that the bolts are isolated from the machine base. This is achieved using TICO Collars and Washers. Although the vast majority of machinery plant can be secured by TICO Pads and Adhesive, cases where bolts might be employed are where the centre of gravity falls outside the machine base as with an inclinable power press, radial drill, or where the centre of gravity is high.
Bolt Isolation
TICO S/WA Bolt Isolation Washer is used to prevent transmission of vibration and machine noise through the bolt to the surrounding area.
Used in conjunction with TICO S/WA & TICO S/CO the MS/WA steel washer, is used to prevent transmission of vibration and machine noise through the bolt to the surrounding area.
TICO S/CO Bolt Isolation Collars are used to prevent transmission of machine noise and vibration through the bolt to the surrounding area.
