To protect sensitive electronic
equipment from damage incurred by shock forces
in near miss-hit situations, Enidine designed
and developed the patented Shock Isolator Double
Acting Spring (SIDAS). The SIDAS design combines
a preloaded mechanical spring to provide static
preload forces with a low-pressure hydraulic damper
to provide dynamic damping forces. During normal
shipboard operating conditions, the hydraulic
damper of the SIDAS remains at atmospheric pressure
while the preloaded mechanical spring provides
static preload forces. During a shock event, the
SIDAS experiences a pressurized condition (1500
psi) for a duration of less than 1 second. This
low-pressure situation ensures positive fluid
sealing, thus providing long-life shock attenuation
over the range of all four-deck frequencies.
