What is the SE101 anti-vibration hanger?
The Hutchinson Paulstra SE101 range includes the VE101, VE111, VE112 and VE113 metal spring hangers, designed primarily for applications operating in tension.
These shock absorbers consist of a cylindrical stainless steel spring, a zinc-plated sheet steel support, an elastomer acoustic isolation guide and, depending on the model, a shaft or two threaded rods.
The VE112 series also incorporates a metal cushion inside the spring.
- Axial natural frequency: from 3.5 to 6 Hz.
- Static load: from 1 to 420 daN depending on the reference.
- Resilient element: cylindrical stainless steel spring.
- Function: anti-vibration suspension operating in tension.
- Applications: buildings and suspended equipment.
- Manufactured in: France.
What are the advantages of the SE101?
✅ Very low natural frequency: natural frequency between 3.5 and 6 Hz for effective vibration isolation.
✅ Tension applications: design particularly suited to suspended equipment and structural elements.
✅ Reduced vibration transmission: helps improve acoustic performance within buildings.
✅ Wide load range: from 1 to 420 daN depending on the series and reference.
✅ Stainless steel spring: resilient element combined with an elastomer acoustic isolation guide.
✅ Several configurations: VE101, VE111, VE112 and VE113 to suit different load levels and installation configurations.
What applications is the SE101 suitable for?
Paulstra recommends VE spring hangers for suspending suspended ceilings, air-conditioning equipment and piping. Their low natural frequency helps reduce the transmission of vibration and noise to the building structure.
What is the difference between the VE101, VE111, VE112 and VE113?
The four series are based on the same metal spring suspension principle, but cover different load ranges.

How to choose your SE101 hanger?
Selection mainly depends on the actual load supported by each hanger and the type of installation required.
- VE101 / VE111: for low loads from 1 to 43 daN.
- VE112: for loads from 25 to 230 daN.
- VE113: for the highest loads, from 150 to 420 daN.
- Then select the reference whose load range includes the actual load applied to each hanger.
Important: for a suspended installation, divide the weight of the equipment or structure between the different suspension points to determine the load applied to each hanger.
