The main elastic element of metal rubber isolator is metal rubber prepared by different processes. Metal rubber has not only the inherent characteristics of metal, but also the elasticity of ordinary rubber. When there is external excitation load, relative slippage between wires produces dry friction and dissipates a large amount of energy, which has a vibration isolation effect and can effectively isolate the damage caused by external excitation to the equipment.

The metal rubber isolator has the advantages of simple and compact structure, convenient installation, good vibration isolation effect, wide range of working frequency, high damping, high and low temperature resistance, humidity and heat resistance, salt spray resistance, long life time and so on. It is widely used in aviation and aerospace, shipbuilding, vehicular and other electronic equipment.

Typical Application

Vibration isolation & anti-shock protection for:

  • Electronic devices or equipment in various working environment
  • Precision instruments requiring extra care
  • Mechanical equipment requiring stability
  • Sensitive devices or equipment during transportation
  • Devices or equipment requiring sustainability in adverse environment

Selection Guide

  • Design the system peak response frequency, mounting method, load and stiffness according to the environmental input and requirements on design of the system structure
  • Pre-select models based on the data provided in the brochure
  • Finalize the model by doing calculation with the input parameters

 


Mounting Method

General Installation Guide

  1. Keep the central axis of the device or equipment perpendicular to the horizontal mounting plate.
  2. Try to achieve systematic symmetry during installation, so that the center of stiffness of the system can match with the CG of the device or equipment
  3. Use only one model for the system to avoid coupling vibration
  4. Use stabilizers when the height of the system is greater than its length/width
