Elastomeric Isolators

Elastomeric isolators use engineered rubber compounds to attenuate vibration and manage shock energy through controlled deflection and material damping. Unlike all-metal isolation systems, elastomer mounts provide inherent energy absorption, reduced transmissibility at targeted frequency ranges, and effective structure-borne noise reduction. With the ability to tailor durometer, geometry, and load capacity, elastomeric isolators deliver reliable performance across commercial, industrial, transportation, and defense applications where vibration control, acoustic mitigation, and equipment longevity are critical.

At IDC, we design elastomeric isolation systems around your real-world operating conditions — not generic load charts. Our engineers evaluate payload weight, center of gravity, excitation frequencies, environmental exposure, and durability requirements to develop mounts that balance stiffness, deflection, and damping for optimal performance. In addition to our standard elastomer mount configurations, we provide custom-engineered solutions for shock mitigation, seismic protection, rack-mounted electronics, and harsh-environment applications — delivering predictable, testable results you can confidently integrate into your system.

High Deflection Arch Mounts

IDC Elastomeric Arch Mounts are designed to support equipment in severe shock and vibration environments. These mounts provide high deflection capability, multi-axis isolation, and effective reduction of structure-borne noise. They are well suited for protecting equipment against extreme drop events, MIL-STD-901D shock, and MIL-STD-167 vibration. Arch Mounts accommodate a wide range of payloads and are typically tuned to natural frequencies between 6 and 20 Hz.

Cup Mounts

Cup Mounts provide effective isolation from shock, vibration, and structure-borne noise. They are commonly used across a wide range of applications, including motors, pumps, fans and blowers, shipboard equipment, and other industrial systems. Cup Mounts are typically tuned to natural frequencies between 20 and 45 Hz and feature a compact, low-profile design for space-constrained installations.

Liquid Damped Mount

LD Series Liquid Damped Mounts provide exceptional shock and vibration attenuation. These isolators utilize a highly damped silicone gel to reduce motion and minimize transmissibility. Designed to perform under high- amplitude vibration environments, LD mounts offer excellent dynamic fatigue life and long-term reliability. They are commonly used in demanding applications such as ground military vehicles, shipboard equipment, and avionics systems.

SP Series Elastomeric Isolators

SP Series Slim Profile Mounts deliver exceptional performance across a wide range of applications in a compact form factor. Their uniquely slim design minimizes overall system footprint, enabling installation in space- constrained environments where every inch matters. The SP Series is commonly used to isolate high-frequency vibration in avionics, radar equipment and more.

What Are Elastomeric Isolators?

Vibration and shock are not just comfort issues. They directly impact equipment reliability, signal integrity, and long-term system performance. In defense, aerospace, and industrial environments, continuous vibration can loosen fasteners, degrade solder joints, damage sensitive electronics, and accelerate component fatigue. Sudden shock events, like transport loads, weapon discharge, seismic activity, or impact forces, can result in immediate failure if not properly mitigated. Elastomeric isolators reduce transmitted energy between a structure and its mounted equipment, protecting critical systems from premature wear, calibration drift, and catastrophic damage.

Proper isolation design also improves operational readiness and lifecycle cost control. By tuning stiffness and damping characteristics to the specific payload and excitation environment, elastomer mounts help maintain alignment, preserve electrical connections, reduce structure-borne noise, and extend service life. For mission-critical systems, effective vibration isolation is a foundational element of durability, survivability, and performance validation.
