C Helical Wire Rope Isolators

VMC Group C Series Helical Wire Rope Isolators are made up of helical stranded wire rope held with rugged metal retaining bars. This design provides excellent shock and vibration isolation for subcomponents inside of various types of equipment. All C Series Isolators offer specific response characteristics based on the diameter of the wire rope, the number of strands, the cable loop length and the number of loops per section. This performance is measureable and predictable.

Standard C Series Helical Wire Rope Isolators are made of stainless steel wire rope and corrosion resistant aluminum alloy retainer bars. Other materials including galvanized wire rope and stainless steel retainer bars are available. The isolators offer three plane, all-axis isolation that permits use in any attitude - vertically, horizontally and laterally. The large dynamic displacement attenuates heavy shocks, while the inherent damping provided by the sliding friction between the strands of the wire rope enable the C Series Isolators to minimize post-shock noise and lower resonant peaks.

The C Series Helical Wire Rope Isolators will function in any temperature from -400⁰F to +700⁰F. The isolators resist ozone, oil, grease, sand, salt spray and organic solvents - providing permanent solutions to any environmental demand. Once installed, the C Series need little or no maintenance and usually will outlast the protected equipment.
