Silent-block
7.3 - Antivibrators assembly (silent-blocks)
Although the installer is the one who must decide on a case-by-
case basis the best way to place the unit in the ultimate location,
always in observation of the handling standards that have been
described, below is a proposed assembly sequence that may
facilitate the operation, keeping in mind that the sequence
performed in the installation shall be the one most suitable to the
solution chosen for each particular case based on the existence
(or lack thereof) of brick curb, type of silent-blocks used, etc.
In the event of assembling directly on silent-blocks to the ground,
it is recommended that a template of the unit’s footprint with the
anchoring points of the silent-blocks be made, as described in the
paragraph “Preparation of the ground”.
With the help of the crane or the forklift truck, the unit will be raised
to a su
ffi
cient height that the silent-blocks can be screwed into its
base (see Chapter 5).
M12 metric threads have been provided for their placement in the
supports (consult the
fi
xing for antivibrators in paragraph 7.7). All
models will use M12 screws with a maximum length of 60 mm.
A hex key 19 or Allen wrench 10 will be used for this operation
based on the type of screw used.
The optional silent-blocks that can be
supplied for these units must be placed
perpendicular to the unit, as shown in the
following image.

The screws required for the installation of the silent-blocks are
not supplied
from the factory.
These screws must have an adequate quality to withstand the
stresses to which they will be subjected, and they must be adapted
to the installation site, either on a brick curb or a steel pro
fi
le.
Note: If the silent-block hole has a diameter greater than M12, a
washer can be used to adjust the size.
