Cable Isolators
Cable isolators are comprised of stainless steel stranded cable, threaded through aluminum alloy retaining bars. Its unsurpassed capabilities to operate across temperatures ranging from -65°F to +200°F, durability, corrosion resistant, and multi-axial attenuation of shock and vibration, makes cable isolators one of the most versatile mounts on the market.

Originally designed for military applications, it has become increasingly popular to engineers and designers in the industrial and commercial markets. Under dynamic loads these tightly twisted group of multiple strands of stainless steel wire (rubbing of strands against one another) resists motion. Energy is dissipated in damping. In as few as three to five cycles after the initial shock pulse, response is nearly zero. For calculation purpose, this is usually characterized as 11-13% of critical damping. Temperature has minimal effects on damping because frictional effects are primarily dependent on:
• the coefficient of friction between the wires
• the local contact and • the high points of strands where they slide over each other.

We offer ten standard series with helical diameters of 1/16”, 3/32”, 1/8”, 5/32”, 3/16”, 1/ 4”, 3/8”, 1 /2”, 5/8”, and 7/8”. Typical applications are shipboard, rough terrain vehicles, aircraft, shipping containers, industrial equipment, medical equipment and electronics.

Silicone Gel
AAC offers an ultra soft silicone gel product line that is excellent in light-load and low frequency vibration applications. As shown from the egg drop video on our homepage www.vibrationmounts. com, it is also effective in shock absorption.

With properties such as low compression set, rebound resilience and operating temperature of -40°F to +392°F silicone gel is superior to rubber, urethane and many other damping materials. Available in stud mounts, grommets, foam, gel pads, tapes and chips, it is ideal for disk drives, PCBs and other light electronics. In addition, our thermal conductive gel sheets are suitable for thermal management in high power electronics.
