Abstract
A mounting system includes a carriage member section of an apparatus being isolated from external vibrations, and a bench member having three support assemblies thereon to support the apparatus. Each support assembly comprises an upwardly oriented pin affixed to the bench member, and an elastomer isolating ring with a central hole press fitted onto the pin. The carriage member has an aperture therein aligned with each support assembly. The aperture is shaped as a slot portion superimposed centrally on a circular hole portion press fitted over the isolating ring. The isolating ring thereby is retained in compression between the pin and the outer wall such that elastomer overfill of the isolating ring can expand into the slot portion sufficiently to compensate for tolerance misalignment between the support member and the aperture, without substantial thickening of the isolating ring. A clamping assembly with an elastomer isolation pad holds the carriage onto three upward protrusions over each support assembly. A clamping assembly with an elastomer isolation pad holds the carriage onto three upward protrusions over each support assembly.
