Structure and Specifications

V-shaped rails are attached to the lower and upper panels, and rollers and friction dampers are incorporated between the rails to provide proper vibration isolation performance regardless of the weight of the exhibits.
The lower and upper plates slide together during earthquakes to release seismic shaking and protect mounted items such as works of art.
