Flexible Suspension

Rubber Design flexible suspension systems comprise stabilisers together with hanging and standing fixed points for secure exhaust system support. Stabilisers are positioned at 90? to accommodate maximum thermal expansion between fixed points and stainless steel bellows, with adjustable lengths if required. Hanging and standing fixed points absorb dynamic forces during vessel operation whilst guiding thermal expansion, ensuring reliable alignment and protection of the exhaust system under demanding marine conditions.

FLEXIBLE SUSPENSION

Stabilizers / hanging and standing fixed points
The stabilizers are sized and positioned to allow the maximum thermal expansion of the exhaust system between the fixed point in the exhaust and the stainless steel bellows. It is necessary to place the stabilizers at an angle of approx. 90? to flexibly the support of the exhaust piping in the required directions. If necessary, the length of the stabilizer can be reduced by one-third of its length.

The hanging fixed points support the exhaust system and control the dynamic forces which occur in the system while the vessel is in operation. The fixed points control the direction of the thermal expansion within the exhaust system.

The standing fixed points support the exhaust system and control the dynamic forces, which occur in the system while the vessel is in operation. The fixed points control the direction of the thermal expansion within the exhaust system.
