Mounting Method安装方法
A pin needs to be supplied by the customer on their mounting plate to fit into the hollow center of the MarshMellow. The details are supplied on each data page of the catalog .客户需要在安装板上提供一个 销子，插入到橡胶弹簧的中心孔，详细信息请见数据样本。 Also the plate needs to be at least as large in diameter as the maximum diameter of the MarshMellow. 安装板直径不得小于橡胶弹簧的 最大直径。

Variable of Load Capacity 可提供不同的载荷能力
▪ Affects contact area 影响接触面积 ▪ Smaller ID carries larger load 中心直径越小，载荷能力越强

▪ “Installation” p. 24 – 26 in Catalog产品样本第24-26页 ▪ Mounting pins安装销 ▪ Center rod中心杆 ▪ Cable张紧带
类似于空气弹簧但是不需要压缩空气
Why the name MarshMellow? 为什么叫MarshMellow
▪ Developed by Firestone engineer, Jerry Marsh 开发者是凡士通工程师， Jerry Marsh

▪ Also, minimum of 15% in order to get into a better isolation range due to natural frequency15%的最低压缩率还保证了较好的隔振率

Performance Characteristics性能
▪ As the height decreases in a MarshMellow, the cords pantograph, increasing diameter at the same volumetric rate. 橡胶弹簧被压 缩时，纤维平行移动，使得其直 径相应增长，但容积不变。
▪ Shock Absorption Compound冲击吸收配方 ▪ Higher damping 高阻尼 ▪ Reduces “spring back” effect降低回弹效应

Hollow Center 中空中心
▪ The load is carried like a cylinder, pressure times area 载荷能力计算 类似气缸，压力乘以面积
▪ However, the area is only the size of the contact area of the rubber and metal ends 然而，面积只是橡胶 与金属件的接触面积

Load Range载荷范围
▪ Working compression 15 to 27.5 % - Why?压缩率15-27.5%，为什么？
▪ Need minimum compression of 15% to insure that the machine will not bounce off of the mounting pins during start up or shut down. 最低压缩率15%以保证安 装销在启动、停机过程中不至于跳出橡胶弹簧。
Performance Characteristics性能
▪ When rubber is deformed, it flows to the path of least resistance like a fluid. 像流体一样，橡胶被压缩时会 遵循最小阻力原则。
▪ It forms a sphere with flat ends.那样 会形成一个两端是平面的球形

Potential damage潜在破坏
•If the pin diameter is too large it can cause tearing of the rubber core. 如果安 装销直径过大，有可能切坏橡胶芯 •If the pin diameter is too small it can allow the part to shift sideways and damage the ID 如果安装销直径过小，有可能导致橡胶弹簧水平移动，从而导致内壁损坏 •If the pin is too long it will gouge the ID of the part when compressed during lateral vibrations. 如果安装销过长，它可能啃坏橡胶弹簧内孔壁 •If the pin is too short the part can jump off during operation and damage the end of the core 如果安装销过短，运行过程中，橡胶弹簧可能跳出销子，从而导致端面损坏 •The mounting plate diameter needs to be larger than the largest diameter of the MarshMellow under full compression 安装板的直径需要大于橡胶弹簧的最大压缩时的最 大直径。

▪ Internal pressure is applied over the entire volume since the contact area increases as well 由于接触面积随之增大， 内部压强会作用于整个橡胶弹 簧。
