rAA NEW anti-Vibration mounting un for tanks on road vehicles has bee developed by BTR Industries, Ltt Designed to combine maximum strengt with minimum weight, the unit, Typ 120-3004, weighs only 40 lb., has a loaf ing range of 1,500-3,500 lb., and inco, porates the rubber-in-shear techniqu, It is additional to BTR's wide range c Vibro-Insulator mountings.
The large deflection obtainable o these units ensures that any bending c twisting occurring in the chassis is nl transferred to the tank, enabling a ligh weight tank to be used if requirei Shock loads are readily absorbed an stability is assured by stabilizer unii which also employ the rubber-in-shel principle. Other major advantages c the Type 120-3004 unit include a devic which relieves shear stress on the bol and strain on the chassis members.
