This specialised range of NATO codified shock and anti-vibration
mounts was developed in conjunction with the UK MoD for extensive
use in both defence and marine applications throughout the world.
This established line is now the preferred product solution for
the UK MoD.
'J' TYPE
The ‘J’ mount is designed to yield at a predetermined
load in any direction under shock. It gives no vibration isolation
and is suitable for shock protection of electrical distribution
equipment but not rotating machinery.
Mass range: 2.0 - 180 kg.
'L' & 'M' Types
Used for medium to high speed machinery for shock and vibration
protection. It is captive when assembled with the decelerating
unit.
Mass Range: 8.5 - 450 kg
Naval 'X' Naval 'X' Type Shock Mount
Approved by the MoD for Naval use these mounts were designed
and developed to protect ship-bourne equipment from vibrations
and shock caused by underwater explosion. The mount generally
gives better shock and vibration protection than any other
mount presently approved for the MoD.
Mass Range: 6.0 - 550 kg
Type 'PD'
These mountings are made in three sizes, (P5D, P7D, and
P8¼D), covering the supported mass range . The Type
‘PD’ mount is a general purpose resilient mount
used primarily for vibration isolation with shock isolation
capabilities. Snubber washers are used in pairs to provide
captivity in shock environments. All mounts are manufactured
to MoD Specifications.
Mass Range: 750-2,500 kg
TYPE 'R' & 'S'
The ‘R’ mount consists of two rubber washers,
a rubber bush assembled with a centre bolt, distance sleeve
and backing washers. It is used in assembly with a linking
cage to form the ‘S’ mount.
Mass range: 5.0 - 45 kg.
Type 'XM' Mounts
The Type ‘XM’ mount is Identical to the 'X'
Mount range with the exception of the spaces between the leaves
are filled with knitted mesh cushions to provide damping.
This allows the mount to be used in areas where high or low
temperatures and extreme environmental conditions are of a
concern, and the standard Type ‘X’ is not suitable.
The ‘XM’ mount is designed to be interchangeable
with the Type ‘X’ providing the same a space efficient
shock mount design. Caparo Engineering Limited holds the Patent
for this design of mount.
Mass Range: 9.0 - 550 kg
TYPE 'Y'
Very similar shock protection to the ‘X’ mount,
but with much improved vibration attenuation at higher frequencies.
Dramatically reduces equipment noise from being transmitted
through the ship and also out into the ocean.
Mass range: 6.0 - 550 kg
Type ’P4½’
One size only . Fitted in mirror pairs or circular arrangements
symmetrical about the centre of gravity of the mounted item.
Mass Range: 340 - 500 kg
