  • Patent number: 11214374
    Abstract: Aircraft, vibration isolation assemblies, and methods of assembling vibration isolation assemblies are provided. An aircraft includes a vibration isolation assembly. The vibration isolation assembly includes a mounting track, a plate, a clamp block, a vibration isolator, and a support fitting. The mounting track defines a cavity and includes flanges that define an opening to the cavity. The plate is configured to be positioned on the flanges outside of the cavity. The clamp block is configured to be fastened to the plate under the flanges of the mounting track within the cavity. The vibration isolator is configured to be laterally constrained by the clamp block within the cavity. The support fitting is configured to be secured to the vibration isolator outside of the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20160083098
    Abstract: Aircraft, vibration isolation assemblies, and methods of assembling vibration isolation assemblies are provided. An aircraft includes a fuselage, a mounted component disposed within the fuselage, and a vibration isolation assembly disposed within the fuselage and mounting the mounted component to the fuselage. The vibration isolation assembly includes a mounting track, an inner member, a support fitting, and an elastomer. The mounting track defines a cavity and an opening. The inner member has a post and a flange, where the flange is disposed in the cavity. The support fitting is secured to the post and the mounted component. The elastomer is disposed between the flange and the mounting track within the cavity.
