Marine

Naval vessels are required to withstand and survive adverse environmental conditions and detonations that generate severe shock energies. Shock is transmitted to on-board equipment and electronics that need to be properly isolated to avoid critical failures endangering the safety of the vessel and crew.

Shock Tech is the leading provider of shock mounting systems for the US Navy and defense contractors for the past 25+ years. With emphasis of protecting commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment from harsh in-service conditions.

Applications

  • COTS Shipboard Electronics
  • Gas Turbine Generators
  • Exhaust Systems
  • Consoles and Workstations
  • Battery (UPS)
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Pumps
  • Compressors

Shock Tech Mounting & Isolation Solutions

Bi-Directional Power Converter

Part of the DDG 51’s (Arleigh-burke Class Destroyers) Hybrid Electric Drives (HED) propulsion system, the bi-directional power converters use Shock Tech’s mounts to provide shock attenuation and vibration isolation. Pictured left is the USS Truxtun (DDG-103) the first naval ship to receive the HED system for research and development in 2012.

901D Navigation and Mapping Table

Designed with sensitive COTS electronics, Shock Tech’s Arch Mounts are used to provide protection from unwanted vibration and shock. Primarily used on naval vessels, severe shock energies (MIL-S-901D conditions) from explosive threats are mitigated by the high deflection capabilities of the shock mounts.
