METHOD OF FORMING ELASTO-FRICTIONAL MEMBERS OF ROPE VIBRATION ISOLATORS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; manufacture of rope vibration isolators for protection of instruments and equipment against impacts. SUBSTANCE: forming the elasto-frictional members of rope vibration isolators is effected through preliminarily winding the rope on rods 2 mounted in mandrel 1 forming return loops 3 and straight sections 4 between return loops; form of loops is fixed on rods due to plastic pressing of rope on each rod followed by compression of straight sections 4 due to fixation of return loops 3 in holders of vibration isolator. Elasto-frictional members may be also formed by preliminarily winding the rope on rods mounted on mandrels forming two return loops and rectilinear crossing sections between them. Such method of forming the elasto-frictional members ensures facilitated assembly of vibration isolator in holders and enhanced quality of assembly due to smooth forming of all return loops 3 and straight sections 4 which are components of elasto-frictional member. EFFECT: improved reliability. 2 cl, 10 dwg
