Load-bearing Capacity

Load-bearing Capacity

SCHWINGMETALL mounts can be used in such a way that the static forces at work trigger compressive, shearing, torsional shear or compressive-shearing strain relative to the spring body. Subjection to the stained effect of static tensile forces is not permitted. Intermittent tensile forces resulting from impact stress are easily absorbed. The figures given below are intended only as reference values and apply to all elastomer hardness values and types. In individual cases the stress levels indicated can be exceeded. This should be clarified beforehand.

Load-bearing capacity Permitted tension
static N/mm2
Permitted tension
Dynamic N/mm2 (10 Hz)
Permitted tension
Impact N/mm2
Compression 0,5 ± 0,125 2,0
Shearing 0,2 ± 0,05 0,6
Tensile stress 1,5
Torque-to-bore v.r. 0,3 ± 0,075 0,9
Compression-shearing (45°) 0,5 ± 0,125 2,0

The values for permissible impact stressing apply in the case of compression/shear mounts, railstrips and combi mounts.
