Large Helical Coil Wire Rope Mounts (Cavoflex) - 10 - 32mm wire

Originally designed for Military use, these are now much more widespread in their application and are still used by NATO and other Defence organisations.

Cavoflex are commonly used for both shock and vibration management, and excel in both requirements. Our standard range covers wire diameters from 1.5 to 32mm, however bespoke options can be made.

Standard products have been heavily tested to generate performance data. Due to the non-linear nature of the product performance, actual vibration and shock results are much more reliable than theoretical models. 

Please note: the datasheet download for these Cavoflex mounts is easier to read than this page.  We have intentionally not given load and deflection data here as we strongly recommend asking for advice when selecting these mounts.

Key features across this range include:

• Multi-direction anti-vibration and anti-shock
• Exceptional reliability, long life, and low aging
• High damping; transmissibility at resonance is lower than 3.
• Non magnetic and corrosion resistant
• Temperature range of -100°C to +260°C
• Mounts are typically offered with 8 or 10 wire rope loops, however fewer loops are available.

Materials:

• Cable: Stainless steel (316)
• Bars: Aluminium Alloy (6000) with SURTEC 650 surface treatment.
  • Stainless steel is optional 
• Screws and inserts: Stainless steel 

All products must be specified with a fixture type (e.g. “-A4”) which can be added to the notes during the checkout process.  This impacts whether value "I" in the table below is the thread or the through hole dimension:

• A1: Countersunk holes on both sides
• A2: Threaded inserts on both sides
• A3: Countersunk holes on one side, threaded inserts on the other
• A4: Countersunk holes on one side, through-holes on the other
• A5: Through-holes on both sides
• A6: Through-holes on one side, threaded inserts on the other

Note: It is not possible to keep all sizes in stock, so lead times for these products are 3 - 10 weeks depending on when they are ordered - holiday periods have extended lead times.

For product comparison, it is probably easier to look at the datasheet download, rather than the below table.
