Viscous Mounts

Viscous Mounts minimize noise, vibration and motion transmitted from equipment to the operator in off-highway vehicles. The mounts provide stability and damping for cab loads ranging from 250 kg to more than 1,000 kg, and they conform to environmental demands — even if the natural frequencies of the roll, bounce and pitch are different.

The High-Capacity Laminate (HCL) model controls horizontal cab shaking, while the Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) model includes a high-strength stopper to ensure driver safety without the need for additional protection components.

Features & Benefits

  • Reduce reaction loads on the cab
  • Are twice as effective as conventional rubber mounts
  • Eliminate cabin breakage accidents caused by rough terrain
  • Reduce noise level an additional 2 to 5 dB(A)
  • Are effective in temperature ranges from -40°C to +80°C
  • Decrease costs; superior damping capacity eliminates the need for extra reinforcing materials and welding points on the cab

Viscous Mount applications include:

  • Crawlers
  • Crawler dozers
  • Wheeled excavators
  • Wheel loaders
  • Compaction equipment
  • Agricultural tractors
