Trombik Springs

Trombik Spring Elements

Trombik Spring Elements are applied as vibration isolation devices / spring suspension for machines, equipments, buildings and railroads by a system of springs. Two different categories have to be separated: source isolation of machines and installations (e.g. elastic support of turbines, condensers, feed pumps, sledge hammer and presses) and receiver isolation as protection for delicate machines and installations, against all kind of vibrations including earthquakes.

Trombik spring elements are protected by patent law and are manufactured on behalf of Trombik Engineers Ltd

High Accuracy Spring Elements

We produce a complete range of high accuracy spring supports for high and highest loads. The height-adjustable Trombik spring elements have been enhanced and optimised based on long lasting experience and can be applied to all load areas and purposes. For the main part, built up of disc springs, as well as for the casing parts, materials of the highest quality class are used. Special designs for clients and/or for objects, e.g. helical spring layouts or adapted load areas are possible as well.

SPRINGLIFT System

The SPRINGLIFT system is an effective, modern and versatile applicable area-supporting-system, mainly for machine types of middle weights and railroads / trams. It is based on multiple spring elements cast into secondary slab. By this, large areas can be decoupled (typical application: high sensitive installations or workshop having several / changeable machines). The advantages are: easy to build, ideal vibration isolation, accessibility / adjustability of the spring elements (control / replacement), long term resistance.

Services Offered

Trombik Engineers Ltd. attaches particular importance to structural dynamics, especially in the field of machine foundations. Thanks to international projects in the field of large infrastructure constructions and power plants, the company has many years of experience with machine foundations and elastic bearings. All employees are very familiar with the associated issues.

Engineering

We are proud to offer the whole spectrum of engineering services for vibration isolations (machine foundations / elastic supports): consulting, planning, static and dynamic analysis, project and execution drawings, detailed construction manuals, construction supervision and measurements; these apply not only to new constructions but also to extensions, reconstructions, and corrective maintenance, and they are offered in the corresponding country-specific requirements / provisions (language, codes).

Revision and Maintenance Work

Trombik Spring Elements are high-quality products and are insensitive to external influences. They are often used in accordance with long term operation machine units, so periodical revision and maintenance work on the Spring Elements have to be carried out. By checking and overhauling the functionality, the vibration-isolation between the machine foundation and the substructure can be granted. At the same time the spring load distribution will be equalised and if necessary deformations of the foundation table can be readjusted

Areas of Application

Machine Foundations

Spring elements are used to achieve a clearly defined and therefore extremely effective, finely tuned system.

Building Decoupling

For increased comfort requirements or sensitive equipment, entire buildings can also be decoupled, usually in the area of the ceiling above the basement.

Railway / Tram systems

Mass-spring systems offer the best protection for tram and railway systems; the damping effect can be defined by specifying the tuning frequency.

Manufacturing Plants

Large areas, such as workshops with multiple or changing machines, can be decoupled using a secondary floor slab and spring ele­ments embedded in concrete.

Sensitive Precision Machinery

Protection of sensitive precision machines against vibrations caused by surrounding workshop operations.

Research Facilities

Isolation of sensitive research equipment from environ­mental vibrations.
