SHOCK ISOLATION APPARATUS MOUNTING SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus shock isolation mounting system (20) includes an apparatus (22), a base (26), and an apparatus chassis (24) that carries the apparatus (22) and is vertically slidable with respect to the base (26). A pair of oppositely disposed, self-centering preloaded springs (28) are attached between the apparatus chassis (24) and the base (26). A pair of shock dampers (52) are attached between the apparatus chassis (24) and the base (26) at different locations. The preloaded springs (28) and the shock dampers (52) cooperate to prevent damage to the apparatus (22) by vibration and shock loadings.
