Wire rope isolators

What is a wire rope isolator?

Wire rope isolators are fully metallic devices designed to absorb large displacements, including significant shocks and vibrations, to isolate various systems and equipment. Depending on the model and its specifications, Socitec’s wire rope isolators are engineered to handle static loads per mount ranging from 0.01 kg to 8 tons.

What are the application areas of wire rope isolators?

From military and transportation to aerospace, industry, and nuclear sectors, wire rope isolators are highly effective in addressing diverse challenges related to shock and vibration isolation. Depending on the level of filtration required for your damping needs, we encourage you to contact us directly to determine the most suitable solution together.
Are Socitec wire rope isolators customizable?
The customization of our wire rope isolators is virtually limitless, particularly in terms of the number and size of coils, as well as the cable diameter. Thanks to our expertise, implementing such customization is straightforward and does not result in additional design costs. Depending on the system to be protected and the specific application environment, we analyze and recommend the appropriate technology and sizing to apply.

What is the difference between wire rope isolators and elastomers?

Wire rope isolators are generally preferred for passive shock or vibration isolation needs, especially in more challenging or aggressive environments. Elastomers, on the other hand, are better suited for applications where vibration isolation and acoustic damping are the primary requirements.
