Abstract:
1. A device for damping vibration and shocks, where the device comprises a housing and a plurality of wire rope holders, which are subjected to vibrations and shocks, and at least one center bar and a plurality of wire ropes series, wherein the center bar and the wire rope holders are rigidly interconnected to three or more independent wire rope series, where each wire rope series comprises two half loop rows, each of the half loop rows further comprising a plurality of individual half loops, where the individual half loops in a first half loop row of a wire rope series are configured with opposite geometrical angles of inclination than the individual half loops in a second half loop row of the same wire rope series, each of the wire rope series further forming a symmetry along a center axis of the center bar relative to an unloaded neutral position for an isolator and where the wire rope series further form a symmetry around the center axis of the center bar relative to a radial neutral position for an unloaded isolator.
