Isolation mountings extend in a common plane and the axis of the overhung or cantilevered load is perpendicular to that plane. The isolation mountings are located in recesses formed in the base plate alone or in both the base plate and mounting plate. Where the recesses are solely located in the base plate, installation may simply be placing a washered or large headed screw serially through the isolator, the base plate and threading the screw into the mounting plate or motor shell which remains separated from the base plate. This will be repeated for each isolator. If recesses are located in both the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell, installation simply requires placing the two bottom isolation mountings into the corresponding recesses in the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell. Then where there are upper recesses in the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell, an isolation mounting is placed in one of the recesses and compressed while the recesses and isolation mounting are moved into register. It should be noted that the other isolation mountings, being in the same plane and opposite thereto, will also tend to be compressed as the upper isolation mounting is compressed. The compression of the isolation mounting can be performed by any suitable means such as through the use of a tool which acts as a ramp or sloped surface for compressing the upper isolation mounting. When the upper isolation mounting passes the end of the ramp it is received in the other recess with at least a partial reduction of the compression of the isolation mountings in the installed position.

Isolation mounting for a cantilevered load

A mount both supports a compressor, and provides fluid communication, between the compressor and a heat exchanger. A first axis is defined extending through the compressor center of mass. A second axis is defined extending parallel to the first axis and positioned a distance from the first axis. A manifold is provided by the mount, and has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is positioned along the first axis and connected to the heat exchanger and the outlet is positioned along the second axis and connected to the compressor.

Compressor mounting device with integrated muffler

An annular isolator is provided having a metal tube which acts as a spring while defining a flow path and a resilient member located between two loading plates. The resilient member supports the weight of one of the members being coupled and the tube acts as spring as to transmitting vibration.
