These unique features make InfiniSpring® a versatile and innovative solution for modern engineering challenges.

Transforming Pipe Support Design for Quieter Spaces

One of the latest innovations using InfiniSpring® technology is the Acoustic Pipe Support, which redefines how pipes are mounted and isolated. Traditional supports, such as those based on SFS 5377, create rigid connections that transmit noise and vibration into surrounding structures.

By replacing the stiff vertical U-profiles (U50) in these supports with InfiniSpring® springs, the system becomes flexible and acoustically optimized—dramatically reducing sound transmission. This makes InfiniSpring® Acoustic Pipe Supports an ideal choice for environments where acoustic performance is critical.

Real-World Application: Hospital Installation

The first InfiniSpring® Acoustic Pipe Supports were installed in a hospital setting for a horizontal DN300 pipe, using two key components:

• InfiniSpring® Acoustic Pipe Slide
• InfiniSpring® Acoustic Anchor Point

These components work together to manage thermal expansion and vibration. The Pipe Slide allows the pipe to move freely within a groove, while the Anchor Point absorbs high longitudinal loads while remaining flexible in other directions. This combination ensures both structural integrity and acoustic isolation.

Custom Solutions for Healthcare and Beyond

InfiniSpring® Pipe Supports are fully customizable for different pipe sizes and applications. Whether you’re designing HVAC systems, medical gas lines, or industrial piping in sensitive environments, we can help create a solution that meets your acoustic and structural needs.

One of the most common applications for these supports is in diesel generator installations, where exhaust pipes must meet stringent environmental noise regulations. In these situations, the InfiniSpring®-spring provides a simple and effective method for soundproofing.

From Rigid to Resilient – Upgrading Standardized Supports

Traditionally, exhaust pipes are installed using rigid, standardized supports such as the SFS 5377 Pipe Slide. These conventional supports form stiff connections between the pipe and the surrounding structure, transmitting structure-borne noise directly.

The new InfiniSpring® Pipe Slide retains most of the standard SFS 5377 components, with one key improvement: the vertical U-profiles (U50) have been replaced with specially engineered InfiniSpring®-springs. This upgrade allows for a resilient connection that effectively isolates structure-borne noise.

Sliding vs. Fixed Support – And a New Hybrid Solution

In standard pipe system design, SFS 5377 Pipe Slides can be installed either as fixed or sliding supports. Sliding is typically enabled by mounting the lower L-profiles (L100x50x8) in grooves, allowing movement to accommodate thermal expansion. Fixed supports are achieved by welding the L-profiles in place.

However, InfiniSpring® Pipe Slides are not suitable for fixed support applications, as the spring components are designed for flexibility and cannot bear equivalent longitudinal loads.

To solve this, we have developed a new InfiniSpring® Pipe Support (longitudinally fixed). This design provides a rigid longitudinal connection while maintaining flexibility in all other directions. It enables resilient installation even where a fixed support point is required.

A Flexible Future for Pipe System Design

By combining the InfiniSpring® Pipe Slide and the InfiniSpring® Pipe Support (longitudinally fixed), pipe systems can now be installed entirely with resilient supports. These solutions are adaptable to different pipe sizes and custom applications. The improved vibration isolation performance also enables lighter support structures by minimizing dynamic loads—meaning pipe system design can focus on static load requirements alone.
