GR6 Series Wire Rope Isolators: Ultimate Multi-Axis Shock & Vibration Isolation

GR6 Series Wire Rope Isolators: Ultimate Multi-Axis Shock & Vibration Isolation

Introduction

The GR6 Series Wire Rope Isolators are standard, high-performance damping components specifically engineered, aerospace, and critical industrial applications. Constructed from high-tensile stainless steel wire rope threaded through aluminum alloy or stainless steel mounting bars, the GR6 series provides exceptional isolation against severe shock and high-frequency vibration across all axes.

With their unique helical configuration, these isolators ensure the survival and continuous operation of sensitive onboard electronics, ruggedized computers, naval control consoles, and transportable shelter equipment in the harshest environments.

Model Number Code Ordering

To select the correct configuration for your rugged system, follow our standard ordering code structure below.

Model Code Structure:

• Series Model: GR6

• Wire Rope Diameter & Loops Code: (e.g., -3.2, -4.0, -4.8, -5.6, -6.4) Specifies the wire rope thickness and specific loops for stiffness.

• Mounting Bars Material Code:

  • [ Blank ] - Aluminum Alloy (Standard)

  • [ S ] - Stainless Steel (For marine or highly corrosive environments)

• Fixing/Mounting Hole Thread Code:

  • [ I ] - Inner Thread (Countersunk or tapped holes)

  • [ A ] - Through Holes / Custom Mounting

Technical Dimensions & Performance Characteristics

Key Performance Features

• Exceptional Shock Attenuation: Capable of absorbing massive transient shock energy (up to thousands of Gs) and mitigating elastic rebound.

• Resonance Control: Effectively shifts the natural frequency of the system away from destructive environmental excitation frequencies.

• Zero Aging & Maintenance-Free: Unlike elastomeric/rubber mounts, stainless steel loops do not degrade over time, suffer from creep, or dry out under UV and ozone exposure.

• Harsh Environment Ready: Designed to meet the stringent requirements of naval ships, armored vehicles, and rugged aerospace applications.

Typical Applications

• Defense & Aerospace: Onboard radar systems, missile guidance systems, and UAV transport containers.

• Marine & Naval Engineering: Shipboard electronics consoles, communication suites, and marine power plants.

• Industrial & Telecom: Rugged servers, mobile base stations, heavy industrial transport cages, and sensitive optical measuring devices.
