Abstract
The paper notes that the structure of the wire rope is one of the most suitable materials used as a fire-resistant elastic element of vibration-insulating structures and fasteners (vibration isolators). To solve the problems of vibration isolation of marine diesel power plants in the framework of development and improvement of the shock absorption system, the original patented elastic supports with elastic elements made of steel wire rope in the form of a torus are presented. When commercially available vibration isolators do not meet the relevant requirements of vibration protection of a particular object, the solution to the existing problem can be achieved by using the proposed wire rope vibration isolators. The technical results of the original patented inventions are: - equal stiffness in the horizontal plane - ensuring the reliability and high vibration efficiency of protection against impacts and shocks. The proposed designs of vibration isolators are easy (technological in manufacturing) to manufacture and assemble, reliable and durable - the service life is 10 years or more. Vibration efficiency is confirmed by the vibration acceleration spectra before and after the vibration isolator of the damping system of the ship diesel-generator DGA-500 and the diesel unit with a 2H 8.5/11 engine and water brake on a common sub-frame. The three-year trial life of the DGA-500 and experimental studies on a diesel unit with a 2H 8.5/11 engine and water brake on a common sub-frame confirms their efficiency and effectiveness.
