Wire rope isolators

Wire rope isolators are fully metallic, rugged shock absorbers. They are designed to protect systems/equipment from many types of shock and vibration, utilizing their large deflection capacity and high damping to isolate whatever they are supporting. Socitec's wire rope isolators are built to support static loads per mount ranging from 0.01 kg to 8 tons.

Wire rope isolators primarily function as shock and vibration absorbers, though they can yield secondary benefits. From military and transportation to aerospace, industrial, and nuclear sectors, wire rope isolators are highly effective in tackling a wide range of shock and vibration isolation challenges. Since these are nonlinear and can be challenging to select, we recommend that you to reach out to us directly so we can work together to determine the best solution for your system.

Wire rope isolators are typically the go-to choice for passive shock and vibration isolation, particularly in tough or demanding environments. On the other hand, elastomers are a better fit for applications where vibration isolation and acoustic damping are the main priorities.
