Mackay Annular isolator, 8kg

Mackay annular isolators give large deflections under small loads. They protect instruments and apparatus from transmitted vibration and shock as well as vibration from light machines and equipment, and they replace Hy-Deflection low-frequency isolators.

Available as four variants in two sizes with a threaded stud on each end: 14 x 18mm with M4 studs (M130001, 2.5kg, and M130003, 1.25kg) and 24 x 30mm with M8 studs (M130002, 8kg, and M130004, 3.5kg). Each is marked Red or Green. They are normally fitted to take loads in compression or shear.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose by load and size: the 14 x 18mm parts carry 1.25 or 2.5kg and the 24 x 30mm parts 3.5 or 8kg. Work out the share of weight each isolator carries, and avoid loading the rubber in continuous tension. Check the stud thread (M4 or M8) and stud length (8 or 20mm) against your fixing.
