GuidingRailDecouplingforElevators
As elevators travel up and down a building they transmit vibration and noise into the structure, often creating disturbance to noise sensitive spaces such as bedrooms, meeting rooms etc. The main source of vibration transmission is via the guiding rails. CDMISOELEVATORFIX is a system that decouples the guiding rails from the shaft structure, hence y p g g significantly reducing the transmitted energy. Improvements of reradiated noise levels to adjacent spaces can be expected to be 5 to 10 dB.

FIELDOFAPPLICATION
As elevators travel up and down a building they transmit vibration and noise into the structure, often creating disturbance to noise sensitive spaces such as bedrooms, meeting rooms etc. The main source of vibration transmission is via , g the guiding rails. CDMISOELEVATORFIX is a system that decouples the guiding rails from the shaft structure, hence significantly reducing the transmitted energy. This system is applied on both the cabin and counterweight guiding rails. 5 to 10 dB improvements in reradiated noise levels to adjacent spaces can be achieved using this system.

ThyssenKrupp, one of the most important elevator manufacturers, won a job for the installation of 2 (electrical) elevators in a luxury residential building, located at Rua do Quelhas, 28. The Acoustical Consultant defined very low noise levels inside the building, whereas the elevator shafts were located next to some sleeping rooms. The use of a CDMISOELEVATORFIX isolation system nearly based on CDMHR materials of 0.4 in thick (see drawing) to completely decouple the guiding rail fixations from the shaft walls. a s
