ShockWave Isolator

shockwave

Moog’s ShockWave isolator product family is the perfect solution for small payload and CubeSat launch isolation. ShockWave leverages more than two decades of spaceflight hardware heritage and packages launch worthy technology into a reliable, predictable system at a price point that is comparable to non-aerospace-worthy, elastomeric isolation mounts.

Overview

Key Features

  • Low mass, low profile and highly damped isolation mounts
  • Suitable for shock and random vibration load attenuation
  • Configurable with metric and standard interfaces
  • Predictable attenuation through an all metallic load path
  • Robust performance over the launch operational environment

Provides Vibration Isolation For:

  • CubeSat Dispensers
  • Optical Mounts
  • Machine Tools
  • Electronics Components
  • Directed Energy Systems

The standard Shockwave isolator is available in two stiffnesses. The -75H1 model is lower stiffness and the -7575 model provides higher stiffness along with capability for larger loads. The nominal stiffness and loss values for these ShockWave part numbers are shown below across a broad frequency range.
