Customers can view SCHWINGMETALL® and MEGI® warehouse stock online
With immediate effect, customers can view the current warehouse stock of SCHWINGMETALL® and MEGI® products online. The warehous stock is reachable via password-protected website. This offers maximum transparency: With just a few clicks of the mouse, anyone can check if certain products are available in sufficient quantities. In addition, customers can also see when the next goods inward will arrive.
The stock information is updated once daily. Customers can search for products in various ways: The search screen allows you to enter part numbers, part names or both – either in full or in part. If incomplete entries are made, the program creates a list of all relevant products.
Customers can view the SCHWINGMETALL® and MEGI® warehouse stock round the clock – and they can do it worldwide. Despite this new search engine, however, ContiTech employees will still be happy to help you: "We don't want to lose contact with the customer, this is simply an addition to our service offering," said Frank Dahmen, Head of Industrial Sales at ContiTech Vibration Control.

Driver's cab suspension: Mobile measuring technology detects vibrations
Suspension systems must be well tuned to each other • Mobile measuring equipment from ContiTech Vibration Control tests industrial vehicles
In terms of vibration, the actual performance of industrial vehicles occasionally differs from what was calculated in the development phase. Instead of the desired vibration isolation, there is even a chance of resonance effects occurring which could intensify the vibrations. This isn't necessarily due to a design flaw. Sometimes changes in ambient conditions, such as different ground conditions to those used on the test bench, are enough to influence the vibration performance of the vehicle. This can result in higher mechanical loads being placed on components, and higher vibrational stress on the operator.
The vehicle's suspension systems must be well tuned to each other. In normal use, the suspension should not hit the upper or lower end positions. The resulting sharp increase in the progression of the spring stiffness creates additional stress which can affect the operator's back, for example. The law is keeping an eye on vibrations in the workplace: the EU directive on vibration 2002/44/EC became part of German law in March 2007. It defines obligatory limits for hand-arm vibrations and full-body vibrations. The manufacturer now has no option but to get to the root of the causes of vibrational stress and take steps to reduce it.

Optimum restriction of vibrations with Series C dome mounts
Application possibilities
Series C SCHWINGMETALL ® dome mounts provide optimum restriction of the transmission of vibrations, thus protecting machines and plants. They are used in the marine sector for inboard systems on small and medium-sized boats. However, SCHWINGMETALL ® dome mounts are also used as engine and cab mounts for forklifts and diesel engines. Other applications include pump, generator, and compressor mounts and mounts for hydraulic presses and other power trains and machines. The dome mounts can be easily and quickly mounted and dismounted. In addition to providing vibration insulation, they also insulate against structure-borne sound and noticeably reduce the noise level in the surrounding area, thus making it easy to observe noise regulations.
Description
SCHWINGMETALL ® dome mounts variants each come in three different hardnesses. Like the entire SCHWINGMETALL ® range, Series C dome mounts are maintenance- and wear-free. The tough metal housing offers optimum protection against mechanical and chemical influences.
Technical specifications
Series C SCHWINGMETALL ® dome mounts can - depending on the model - cater for a load spectrum of up to 5900N. For the spring stiffness, maximum load, and other data, see the table.
Delivery availability
Depending on the article, ex stock or on request. For additional technical details, see www.schwingmetall.com.
