AVAUD Wire Rope Isolator Mounts

What are Radial Wire Rope Isolator Mounts?

Originally designed for Military use, these wire rope isolator mounts are now much more widespread in their application and are still used by NATO and other Defence organisations as they are highly effective.  Our versions of the radial format of a wire rope mount is ther AVAU series, this version sits at the premium end of the range due to the capabilities offered by its Twin Wire System.

Twin System Radial Wire Rope Mounts

These radial wire rope mounts are a little different due to the twin system they use.  They are essentially a high frequency vibration mount and a shock mount all in one. The inner narrower diameter wire system handle the higher frequency vibrations while the heavier duty wire system is there to deal with the shocks. 

We recommend asking for selection advice.

Highly effective shock & vibration mounts, key features include:

• Twin systems with one designed to focus on vibration while the larger system focusses on shock management.
• Static load is carried by the inner wire rope array which also manages vibration requirements (in compression)
• Larger outer wire rope array for shock management.
• Designed for MIL-STD 901 D requirements.
• Vibration: Natural frequency of ~ 8 Hz
  • Hull vibrations typically start above 10 Hz; these
    mounts offer near complete protection in the
    marine sector.
• Shock: Response frequency of 14 Hz
  • Shock deflections of 30-34mm 
• Customised versions can be made for the land sector.
• Multi-directional, compact, and non-magnetic
• Male and Female mounting thread options.
• Highly reliable & long life with low aging (military applications normally replace after major shock events)
• Low transmissibility at resonance (lower than 3)
• Temperature range: -40°C to 120°C
• Naturally high damping rates (compared to elastomers)
• Most models are available in a version designed for use as a stabiliser mount. 

Materials:

• Cables: Stainless steel (316)
• Base and retaining discs: Stainless steel (304)
• Screws and inserts: Stainless steel
• Rubber covers: neoprene (CR).

Note: By default these products a male thread on top.  The product name is suffixed with a "-F" for the female threaded version.
