For damping, pressing, and guiding applications, Rosta makes several options

Rosta makes elements for damping and more.

Rosta Inc. is the local Canadian branch of Rosta, supplying the corporation’s innovative machine elements and components to businesses across this country. Having mastered three types of technology, the manufacturer makes highly versatile solutions for conveying, sifting, tensioning, and vibration control – as well as for many applications involving damping, pressing, and guiding.

Elements for impact energy absorption, suspension, and other common applications are available in the field of damping, pressing, and guiding.

An elastomer-powered torsional spring

The range of products available in this category is based on the Rosta element, which is an elastomer-powered torsional spring that can serve as a simple mechanical damper or as a spring suspension system, or it can provide “spring power” – i.e., mechanical potential energy – to exert pressure. Rosta offers a product catalogue for technical information, an in-depth technology overview, and other resources to help customers find the right solutions.

Because impact results in wear, damage, and premature failure of materials and engineered structures, customers rely on the spring compression and damping of Rosta’s specialized product range to absorb some of the energy from material impacts. ESL mounts possess the perfect blend of design geometry, construction, and damping capacity to absorb impact energy in conveyor transfer points in bulk material-handling systems and similar applications. This model has a total impact energy of 1,250 newton metres (Nm) and an impact energy of 208.3 Nm per ESL.

The company also offers the widest selection of oscillating mounts for elastic suspension for all kinds of screening equipment and shaking conveyors, ranging from standard mounts to heavy-duty models and options in stainless steel. These suspension systems have the highest levels of isolation and efficiency for all free-oscillating vibrating systems, from dewatering screens in mining to onion-sorting shakers. Torsion angles range from five to 30 degrees, with torque from 26 to 324 Nm.

Also available are various complementing accessories for Rosta products to ensure simple installation and integration of machine elements. Examples include rollers, wheels, chain riders, and modules. For the best selection of solutions for damping, pressing, and guiding, trust in the Rosta name.
