VIBRO FLEX – RUBBER FLEXIBLE CONNECTORS
VIBRO FLEX – RUBBER FLEXIBLE CONNECTORS
VIBRO FLEX Rubber Flexible Connectors are engineered to relieve stresses caused by piping system expansion and contraction. They provide effective vibration and noise isolation while compensating for minor misalignments.
Designed to absorb continuous movement within piping systems, VIBRO FLEX connectors handle fluctuations from ambient temperature changes, variations in the temperature of transported media, and differences in material composition. This helps prevent issues such as buckling or separation, thereby reducing the need for costly repairs and maintenance.
In systems connected to pumps, compressors, and other pulsating equipment, VIBRO FLEX connectors significantly reduce noise and vibration. This not only improves the efficiency and reliability of nearby equipment but also enhances working conditions in environments such as offices and industrial facilities.
Settlement, load stresses, and part wear often cause piping and mechanical equipment to shift out of proper alignment. VIBRAFLEX Flexible Connectors effectively compensate for lateral, torsional, and angular movements, ensuring long-term system stability.
Air Conditioning, Heating, and Ventilation Systems VIBRO FLEX Flexible Connectors are engineered to relieve stresses caused by temperature fluctuations and piping misalignments. They also minimize the transfer of vibration and noise. Common applications include hot and chilled water circulation lines, pump suction and discharge connections, and header systems.
In industrial piping networks, VIBRO FLEX Flexible Connectors are essential for managing thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance.
Thanks to their capacity to absorb multidirectional movement, VIBRAflex Flexible Connectors are well-suited for district cooling applications, such as large-diameter condenser lines and chilled water connections.
Within marine environments, VIBRO FLEX Flexible Connectors provide effective isolation from vibration and noise, while also protecting against electrolysis. Typical uses include suction and discharge lines in circulating water-cooling systems and diesel engine air intake ducts.
VIBRAFLEX Flexible Connectors are extensively applied in wastewater treatment plants and pollution control systems, delivering dependable operation in demanding fluid-handling conditions.
Control rod assemblies are specifically designed to absorb static pressure thrust at the connector, reducing the risk of connector damage or equipment failure. When correctly installed, they add an extra layer of protection for the expansion joint and associated piping systems.
Control units should be installed to prevent excessive movement that could cause premature failure of the expansion joints, especially where pipe supports are absent
However, if pipelines are securely anchored and supported near the expansion joints, control units are not required.
However, if pipelines are securely anchored and supported near the expansion joints, control units are not required.
Control rod assemblies are strongly recommended for unanchored systems, especially when system pressure or movement exceeds the rated capacity of the connector.
For systems involving spring-mounted equipment, the use of control rod assemblies is always advised if pressure and movement go beyond the specified ratings, to ensure stability and long-term performance.
