Ring stainless steel wire rope isolator/shock absorber Anti-noise Marine components instrument isolation
Ring noise resistant marine parts stainless steel wire rope cable isolator
1. Description
Wire rope isolators are robust mounting assemblies comprised of high-quality stranded wire rope securely held in durable metal retainers. The isolation effectiveness of each element is influenced by several factors, including the wire rope diameter, number of strands, cable length, cable twist or lay, and the quantity of cables per section.
Inherent damping is achieved through flexure hysteresis, specifically the rubbing and sliding friction between the wire rope strands. These isolators offer superior isolation compared to other mediums or designs, delivering excellent vibration damping. The versatility of cable mounts is exceptional, addressing a wide range of physical and engineering requirements, encompassing nearly every isolation need. They dispel the notion that a single mount cannot simultaneously address both shock and vibration.
Taking the GH Series ALL Metal Wire Rope Isolator as an example, it exhibits three-dimensional variable stiffness and variable damping characteristics. This design is tailored to meet the isolation and noise reduction requirements of diverse applications such as aircraft, communications, oil tanks, logging trucks, ocean transportation, and instrumentation. The isolators enable electronic devices to operate effectively in demanding mechanical environments, presenting an ideal alternative to traditional methods.
2.Options
- Iridited aluminum bars are standard; however, other materials and finishes can be used.
- Variations in cable configuration are available if the standard is not suitable.
