not be suitable. If Fi/Fn is close to 1.0, it is close to resonance and should not be used
at all. See Figure 11-3.

Transmissibility
Method B
Specify the isolation desired and calculate the mount characteristics required then select the
mount from the catalog.
1. Establish a desired isolation requirement (I). 80% isolation ef
fi
ciency or 0.8 is acceptable.
2. Determine transmissibility (T). T = 1.0 – I. In this case, T = 1.0 – 0.8 = 0.2
3. Determine Fn by the following formula:
4. With this Fn determine spring rate needed (K) from the formula
where M
= W/g, W/g = weight at the mount point/gravitational constant.
5. Refer to the catalog for the desired mount that has that spring rate, or close to it. Recheck
its suitability by repeating the steps in Method A.
