RIGIDITY COMPENSATOR FOR ELASTIC SUPPORT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering, in particular, protection of objects from vibration. SUBSTANCE: rigidity compensator has casing provided with guiding members and connected to object to be protected, stem positioned for sliding inside casing, and compensator elastic members made in the form of springs located between stem and guiding member surfaces. Compensator is provided with plates joined to guiding members. Elastic members are made in the form of coiled cylindrical springs positioned in fixed gap between plates at designed tightness between stem and guiding member surfaces on supports provided on guiding members and made in the form of shoulders having central openings axially aligned with axes of cylindrical springs for fixing of end coils. Cylindrical spring axes are extending in parallel with direction of movement of vibrating object. EFFECT: enhanced reliability in operation of elastic members by eliminating engagement between elastic members and profiled belts, prolonged service life and increased stability of damper resistance parameters. 4 dwg
