OCTO-Base^™

The new OCTO-Base™ modular seismic isolation system features the ultimate versatility of isolation platform design. The unique octagonal shape allows limitless attachment in multiple directions, creating isolated equipment mounting in a concise 15” design.

The OCTO-Base™ system utilizes NextGen Ball-N-Cone™ Isolators, which dramatically increase displacement capacity, over the original Ball-N-Cone™ (by up to 70%) while nearly eliminating vertical spikes and vibrations due to its smoother rolling design profile. While the original ISO-Base™ had excellent performance in recent large earthquake events, the need became apparent for us to offer a product with increased displacement and acceleration capability. This enhanced displacement capacity will benefit areas of higher seismicity (capable of larger events) and for use in data centers located on upper floors of buildings with higher accelerations.

In addition, the isolators feature our proprietary QuakeCoat™ Elastomeric Damping Liner, which ensures the isolators achieve the maximum available displacement capacity and virtually eliminate spikes and micro-vibrations.

The OCTO-Base™ system components can be configured into isolation platforms to protect rows of multiple cabinets or equipment items or custom-configured as a single, stand-alone machinery or equipment mount.

Additionally, the heavy-duty construction of the OCTO-Base™ system dramatically increases the weight load capacity over the original ISO-Base™ by approximately two and a half times. This is an important advancement to meet the current trend of heavier server racks and IT components being used in today’s data center environments.
