Abstract
The present disclosure presents a shock damping ring for use in a downhole tool that includes a base ring structure a plurality of fingers extending from the base ring structure axially parallel to a central axis of the base ring structure. Each finger of the plurality of fingers is configured to physically abut first and second tubular components of the downhole tool and to reduce shock amplification between the first and second tubular components of the downhole tool. In addition, at least one finger of the plurality of fingers includes a beveled, chamfered, or radiused surface configured to physically abut one tubular component of the first and second tubular components of the downhole tool, and an orthogonal surface configured to physically abut the other tubular component of the first and second tubular components of the downhole tool.
