Features and Benefits：
Standard Wire Rope Vibration Isolators are comprised of stainless steel stranded cable threaded through aluminum alloy retaining bars that are mounted for effective shock and vibration isolation.
With their corrosion resistant, all metal construction, EKD wire rope vibration isolators are environmentally stable, high-performance shock and vibration isolators that are unaffected by chemicals, oil, ozone, abrasives and temperature extremes. Specially designed anti-vibration wire rope vibration isolator provides better performance and damping ratio based on clients’ requirements, particularly suitable for high bearing capacity requirements and high shock applications. Distortion ratio can be as high as 70-80%. This series products are widely used in civil and military equipments.
Materials and Finishes:
Standard:Wire rope: Stainless steel 302 / 304
Mount bars: Aluminum alloy surface (Anodized)
Hardware: Alloy steel, Zinc Plated
Thread: Stainless Steel Self Clinching Insert(WR2-WR8 Series),
Threaded Bar(WR12-WR40 Series)
Special:HGGS Series all stainless steel products / HGGN Series anti-vibration high energy vibration isolators
Isolator Options:
Mounting:EKD offers a full range of mounting combinations of thru hole, countersunk and threaded bars.
Loops:EKD's wire rope vibration isolators can be purchased with the full number of loops, or as few as 2 loops. The number of loops is indicated in the isolator part number. Performance is provided for full loop isolators. Performance for reduced loop isolators can be obtained by a simple ratio.
Bellmouth:EKD's wire rope isolators are available with a “bellmouth” option. The bellmouth feature includes mount bars with radii manufactured into the wire rope hole edges. This option is recommended for high fatigue applications. Add an “R” to the end of the part number.
Performance:
Stiffness(KV or KS):
Wire rope vibration isolators exhibit non-linear stiffness behavior. Small deflections, usually associated with vibration isolation, will have a different spring rate than larger shock deflections. EKD company publishes typical vibration stiffness value(Kv), and average shock stiffness values(Ks) within the catalog. These values can be used with the provided equations listed later to predict system performance. The stiffness values listed in the catalog are for full-loop versions. For reduced loop versions, ratio the stiffness by dividing the number of desired loops by the number of full loops.
Isolator Axes:
Wire Rope Vibration Isolators are multi-axis vibration isolators. The diagram below includes load axis definitions and deflection considerations.
