In Reply to: Isolation bearing bases mounting question posted by Justin Thorpe on March 14, 2003 at 00:14:17:
Hi Justin,I'm sorry but I'm not clear on exactly what you are asking. Are you referring to a base for a roller bearing? (Your mention of a "steel 1/2 cup" suggests this to me.)
If so, I suggest a rigid mounting. Using some kind of damping material around the cup isn't a bad idea but ideally, all energy will go into rolling the ball. Flexible silicone might absorb some of this, thereby diverting energy from the ball and diminishing effectiveness of isolation.
Also, a wider diameter cup will result in slower ball motion (i.e. lower resonant frequency) and less damping (i.e. steeper roll-off above resonance), both of which translate into more effective isolation.
Hope this helps.
Also hope I haven't misinterpreted your question. (If so, sorry.)Happy Listening!
Barry
