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.

Benefits of Elastomeric Isolators

Elastomeric vibration isolators offer:

 

  • Cost effectiveness: Elastomeric isolators are an affordable way to avoid premature wear on equipment and structures.
  • Long life: Polymers in these devices can last for years, even in challenging industrial environments. 
  • Functionality in the most challenging environments: Polymers used in these devices feature excellent tear resistance, high tensile strength and appropriate elasticity, allowing for compression and stretching.
  • Maintenance-free reliability: These devices do not require adjustment or lubrication.

Common Applications of Elastomeric Isolators

We work with you to develop isolators that protect system performance from component failure and calibration drift caused by sudden shock events and operational or random vibrations. Our elastomeric isolations are used in a range of applications:

 

  • Aerospace
