JZP-4.2-SC Rubber Shock Absorber: Low Total Cost of Ownership and Multiaxial Shear-Compression Isolation

Quick answer: The JZP-4.2-SC is a friction-damping rubber shock absorber (vibration isolator) with a nominal load of 4.2 kg, a damping ratio of at least 0.5, and a load path that handles both shear and compression. Its solid-phase design needs no air supply or power, which keeps lifetime ownership costs low.

What Is the JZP-4.2-SC?

The JZP-4.2-SC belongs to the JZP family of friction-damping rubber isolators. It is a compact rubber-and-metal mount that reduces structure-borne vibration and noise for light machinery, instruments, cabinets and electronic assemblies. Instead of relying on a spring or wire rope, the JZP-4.2-SC dissipates energy through internal friction inside a vulcanised elastomer element, so it is ready to work immediately after it is bolted down.
