GR5 Series Compact Wire Rope Isolators (1.6mm Cable Diameter)

GR5 Series Compact Wire Rope Isolators (1.6mm Cable Diameter)

Heavy-Duty Multi-Axis Vibration Damping for Rugged Electronics, Avionics & UAV Payloads

The GR5 Series Wire Rope Isolators are precision-engineered miniature shock absorption components designed for sensitive equipment requiring high-performance isolation in a compact footprint. Featuring a standard 1.6mm (1/16") diameter stainless steel cable, the GR5 series provides unmatched multi-axis vibration isolation and displacement attenuation, making it the industry benchmark for protecting critical payloads against harmonic resonance, erratic traveling shocks, and severe transit impacts.

Whether deployed in aerospace avionics, grade ruggedized computers, marine navigation gear, or high-end drone gimbals, the all-metal construction of the GR5 series guarantees maintenance-free longevity and stable dampening performance where elastomeric (rubber) dampers fail.

Key Product Engineering Features

• Advanced Multi-Axis Isolation: Delivers simultaneous damping across vertical (compression/tension), longitudinal, and lateral axes, smoothing out high-frequency micro-jitters and high-impact shocks.

• 100% All-Metal Endurance: Fabricated with high-tensile stainless steel wire loops locked into structural mounting bars. Completely immune to aging, dry rot, ozone, UV radiation, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

• Extreme Thermal Stability: Operates flawlessly across an ultra-wide temperature envelope from -180°C to +300°C (-292°F to +572°F), making it ideal for desert, arctic, and high-altitude aerospace deployments.

• High Inter-Strand Friction Damping: The inherent friction generated by the rubbing of individual wire strands provides excellent energy dissipation, minimizing settling time after a sudden kinetic shock.

• Corrosion-Resistant Material Variations: Available with standard 304 Stainless Steel, marine-grade 316 Stainless Steel, or weight-optimized Anodized Aluminum mounting bars to meet strict environmental and weight budget requirements.
