- Description
- A rubber isolation unit, which is used to prevent the transmission of vibration from active to passive supported equipment. These rubber isolation units are used for vibration of hydrophones, with transducers, on marine vessels (surface ships and submarines). The rubber is vulcanised. The units have two threaded studs that are joined by a moulded rubber block. One thread attaches to the equipment and the other to the mounting bulkhead. The rubber serves to isolate the transmission of vibration from one stud to another, but it still provides a mechanical attachment for the equipment. The rubber material will dampen the vibrations that affect a machine by absorbing unwanted energy. The isolation unit is made out of vulcanised rubber and it is fitted with mild steel inner studs which are zinc plated. Its is packaged in trade packaging.
