  • Vibration isolator with reflective external travel restrictor and compressive snubber
    Publication number: 20070182076
    Abstract: A vibration isolator mount (10) is provided including a travel restrictor (30) for limiting axial stretching of the spring component (22) to the vibration isolator mount. A snubber (32) ring is provided to provide a bumper between the travel restrictor (30) and a stop surface (12) in order to soften the impact therebetween when a heavy input occurs. Furthermore, the travel restrictor (30) is provided with a protective coating in order to reflect heat away from the isolator mount.
