THE PROBLEM
In today's world, increasingly sophisticated equipment together with harsh environmental conditions mean that engineers are continually faced with improving vibration and shock isolation.

Electronic equipment is often considered for use in environments which are far from compatible with their original design specifications. Even if the equipment survives initial vibration testing, the life expectancy and reliability will be considerably reduced unless suitable protection is provided.

Equipment installed in military vehicles, ships and aircraft is subjected to severe shock conditions. Purely strengthening the equipment to withstand these conditions often means an unnecessary increase in weight, size and cost. The use of carefully selected isolators is nearly always more efficient in these respects.

Vibration from plant and machinery is a growing concern when consideration is given to more stringent environmental regulations coupled with the increased use of lighter construction materials.

THE SOLUTION
STOP-CHOC / BARRY CONTROLS are specialists in the design, manufacture and application of shock and vibration isolators.

We have a wide range of standard products developed over many years to suit almost every application from the isolation of individual printed circuit boards to complete off-shore accommodation modules.

STOP-CHOC / BARRY CONTROLS engineers have available to them a suite of computer programmes, continually being developed, together with a wide range of experience to assist them in the analysis of your system.

Should your problem be beyond the capability of a standard product we have the engineering expertise and facilities to design a special unit, along with the equipment to carry out vibration testing if required.


Our web site has been created to offer an immediate contact point to assist design engineers faced with protecting equipment, structures and people against the damaging effects of shock and vibration.

Our catalogue is available to you on request by e-mail direct from the Contact Details and Personnel section of this site. This document is intended to be a valuable, regularly updated guide to helping the engineer access the correct type of mounting system for the application.

The information will enable meaningful discussion in the early stages of design concept, where it is critical to establish quickly the basic parameters of mount and sway space. When the design criteria becomes fully defined the correctness of those early decisions allows the engineers to specify a mounting system that is not compromised by lack of space.
