Product Details - Acousti Ultra Soft Anti-Vibration Fan Mount AFM03B 12-pack
 
Help to eliminate every last dB of PC noise by reducing
the noise generated by fan vibrations!
Why are Fan Mounts Necessary?
Vibration from fan motors can travel into a PC case and become
amplified when a fan is screwed tightly to the chassis. This
unwanted noise is 'vibrational' or 'secondary', and it is
an issue if you wish to build a very quiet or virtually silent
PC.
These mounts have been designed & uniquely produced by
Acousti Products 'from the drawing-board' specifically to
tackle fan-induced vibrational noise! Ultra-Soft Fan Mounts
are a 'no-vibration' alternative to standard fan screws or
hard plastic push pins.
To prevent the transmission of vibrations from a motor (such
as a fan motor), the vibrating part needs to be decoupled
(or disengaged) from the chassis or case, and the vibrations
need to be damped (that is, attenuated). We have selected
a ultra-soft silicone polymer that effectively decouples the
fan from the case, and also attenuates unwanted vibration.
The 3-dimensional shape of a fan mount is intimately related
to the mount material. A fan mount must be soft enough to
be effective but also designed to securely hold a fan in position.
Acousti Products have designed both the shape and materials
together to give a widely compatible fan mount that
is also the very softest and most effective available!
Why are these Mounts any better than Others?
We have chosen an ultra-soft silicone polymer because it
is softer and more chemically stable than cheaper and inferior
alternatives like rubber or EPDM. Cheaper alternatives can
leach oils and tend to degrade more readily over time - they
also tend to be more reactive with some plastics (wires etc.)
than silicone. Silicone is non-toxic, more chemically stable,
and can also tolerate higher temperatures - so it is a superior
material for this particular use.

How soft is ULTRA-SOFT? These are the
SOFTEST mounts available! For example, elongation is
over 100%

AFM02B Retail Pack contains
8 anti-vibration mounts, enough for 2 fans. AFM02B
& AFM03B OEM Packs contain 100 anti-vibration
mounts, enough for 25 fans. |

AFM02 and AFM03B Ultra-Soft Fan Mount Design. The fan mount has been designed with smoothed corners to prevent
the propagation of cracks when stretched. When in position,
the fan is held 1.25mm away from the case side - this is just
enough to allow free movement of the fan and effectively absorb
vibrations, but not too much to cause excessive air pressure
loss around the fan.

 Ultra-Soft
Fan Mounts fit FLANGE TYPE fan moldings!
Flange type fans (shown on the left) do not have a 'tunnel' connecting the mounting holes like Rib type fans. Flange type design is the most popular type of fan moulding used in PCs & Servers. |

AFM02
- Fitting Directions |
|
1. Fit fan mounts to the case FIRST! Thread the fan mounts from the outside of the
case through the case fan mounting holes, and pull the end of the mount (the arrowhead part) though until the mount 'pops' into position.
|
|
|
2. Thread the fan onto the fan mounts. Align the mounting holes on the fan
corners with the fan mounts, and gently place the fan onto the mounts, so that they poke through each hole. |
|
|
3. Pull fan mounts through fan holes. Using your forefinger and thumb, carefully
pull the 'arrowhead' part of the fan mounts through the fan mounting holes. The trick here is to pull through and sideways at the same time,
easing the arrowhead through. The arrowhead should pull though with a small 'pop'. |

AFM03 - Fitting Directions
Fitting the AFM03B fan mounts differs in that the fan mounts need to be fitted to the fan first, and then the fan assembly fitted
to the fan mounting holes. This makes the AFM03B model easier to fit in restricted spaces and therefore may be more suitable for
OEM and IT System Builders.
Ultra-soft fan mounts - designed & produced by Acousti Products 'from the drawing-board'. These
fan mounts are an easy to fit, cost effective solution to tackle PC fan vibration noise! Each pack is supplied
with 8 fan mounts, enough for 2 case fans.
- Truly 'ultra-soft' & flexible - these mounts are designed to help reduce the transmission
of fan motor vibration... helping to eliminate every last dB of PC noise
- Designed to fit the vast majority of fans and PC cases
- Quick & easy to fit as a 'no-vibration' alternative to fan screws. These mounts do not require any case modifications
