Wire rope isolators and spring mounts

Wire rope isolators and spring mounts are vibration dampers designed to isolate machinery and equipment from vibrations, absorb shocks, and reduce structural stress. These anti-vibration solutions improve operational stability, extend equipment life, and ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Elesa+Ganter offers a combined range of spring mounts and wire rope isolators, engineered to deliver effective vibration control across a wide variety of applications where both elastic support and high-performance isolation are required.

Wire rope isolators

Wire rope isolators are high-performance vibration dampers designed for both vibration isolation and shock absorption under demanding conditions. They consist of stainless steel cables arranged in coils and fixed between metal bars, forming a highly durable damping system.
Elesa+Ganter wire rope isolators are manufactured in AISI 316 stainless steel, ensuring excellent resistance to corrosion, mechanical stress, and harsh environmental conditions. They are designed with a robust body and non-slip coating, secured with a zinc-plated screw and spring in selected configurations.
These vibration dampers are particularly effective where high reliability and multi-directional vibration control are required.

Typical applications include:

• HVAC and industrial pumping systems
• water treatment, purification, and desalination plants
• instrumentation panels and sensitive equipment
• railway systems and infrastructure
• naval, marine, and military applications

What are spring mounts used for?

Spring mounts are vibration dampers incorporating a steel spring element combined with elastomer components. Elesa+Ganter spring mounts typically feature a galvanised steel spring, a lower plate coating, and an NBR rubber cap to enhance stability and damping performance.
They are particularly suitable for isolating low-frequency vibrations and reducing structural transmission in heavy-duty machinery.

Typical applications include:

• HVAC systems and air handling units
• compressors and refrigeration groups
• centrifuges and crushers
• vibrating screens and sieving equipment
• generator sets and power units

Spring mounts are widely used where controlled elasticity and load support are required alongside vibration isolation.
