Wire rope isolators are stable mounting assemblies of high quality
stranded wire rope held with rugged metal retainers. Each isolating
element has specific response characteristic determined by the diameter
of the wire rope, the number of strands, the cable length, the cable
twist or lay, and the number of cables per section.
Inherent damping is provided by flexure hysteresis, i.e., the rubbing
and sliding friction between the strands of the wire rope.
