Elesa announces new wire rope arrival to vibration damper family

Elesa has announced the new arrival of a wire rope series to its otherwise rubber-based vibration damper family of mounts and buffers, used throughout industry for isolation of equipment where vibration is a major issue. The new AVC series incorporates AISI 316 stainless steel wound into helical loops where the spring damping function is derived from innate elastic and friction properties of the rope construction. This allows a high range of deformation suitable for use in mounting of gensets, robotic mounts, stabilising platforms for example for cameras and liquids. Other applications include mounting of electrical cabinets, HVAC, transport platforms, marine equipment, power systems, pumps, desalination, rail, naval, military, marine oil and research platform equipment.
