Systems of vibration isolators based on elements with linear characteristics

Abstract Actual problems are applied issues that are related to vibration isolation of machine assemblies and operator seats in machines. The publication presents some technical solutions of vibration isolator systems. These systems are simple in design and include elastic elements with a linear stiffness characteristic, but with a special arrangement to the vibration displacements of the protected object. In systems of vibration isolators “with leap” in a specific range the effect of quasi-zero stiffness of the support is realized with an ideal vibration isolation of the object. Technological and universal technical solution for the vibration-isolating seat of transport machine operator is described in the publication.
