Machines whose intrinsic rigidity is not sufficient for direct insulation require a rigidly designed intermediate construction to be fitted between the insulators and the machine. This method also allows the positioning of the insulators to be optimised for the application.
Depending on
- Machine dimensions,
- Machine centre of gravity,
- Dynamic forces acting on the machine,
- Permissible machine movement,
- Requirements on the insulation,
- Mobility (flexible installation site),
- Attachment parts or feeds,
- Type of installation site(for example permissible floor loading, installation in above groundfloors of a building),
This is achieved either by providing ablock foundation made of concrete a steel platform or a cast plate. In this case the insulation isreferred to as indirect insulation.
