Abstract
The shock isolation system for CT equipment or the like employs a C-support holding isolation unit on either side of a support plate for the CT machine. Each isolation unit is made up of an elastomeric tube capped by a diaphragm and enclosing an air-tight volume. Different spring constants are produced by the isolation unit depending on whether only the diaphragm or the entire tube is compressed, allowing effective vibration isolation and shock protection for the supported equipment. The elastomeric tube provides both axial and lateral isolation eliminating the need for isolation units along multiple axes.
