GAS CENTRIFUGE UNIT Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B04B5/08 B01D59/20 F16F15/00 

FIELD: centrifuges for separation of gaseous and isotopic mixtures, in particular, construction of gas centrifuge units mounted on supporting frames, for example commercial gas centrifuges employed in uranium isotope separation plants or in multiple-unit stands for separation of stable isotopes.

SUBSTANCE: gas centrifuge unit has centrifuges arranged in two rows and fixed on single frame consisting of longitudinal, vertical and transverse beams, said frame being movable in horizontal direction and positioned with its upper transverse beams on supporting overhanging arms of columns and fixed on said overhanging arm by means of flexible member. Flexible member is made in the form of rubber buffer fixed on frame and put onto rod secured in overhanging arm. Buffer is positioned within bushing fixed on vertical beam between upper and lower transverse beams in the vicinity of horizontal plane extending through center of gravity of unit. Alterations in attachment construction and interconnections between members for attachment of units on columns allow effect of earthquake vibrations on centrifuges of unit to be reduced by 1.5-2 times.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in suppressing of earthquake vibrations in construction and reduced effect of earthquake vibrations on centrifuges of unit.
