Gel shock absorber
Why use a gel shock absorber?
Musthane® designs and manufactures shock and vibration absorbers from gel-based complexes. Their characteristics are exceptional. They absorb shocks of up to 500 g in 6 ms with a very small footprint.
They protect in a very effective way the embedded electronic devices. Musthane® has a vibration test bench. We simulate the test situations of the developed shock absorbers. These tests are carried out using a complex chosen from our database including more than 800 different formulations and combinations.
Use cases of custom shock absorber
Military sector
- Testing of ejector seats.
- Qualification of parachutes.
- Protection of equipment during parachuting, drop.
- Low frequency mechanical protection for equipment suspension (airplanes, helicopters, tanks…).
- Acoustic protections (submarine walls).
- Thermal insulation (power plant).
- Electrical insulation.
Transport sector
- Protection of sensitive equipment.
Security sector
- Protection of human life (motorcycle helmets)
Industrial sector
- Antivibration (insulation and protection of industrial machinery and equipment).
- Shock-proof.
Technical characteristics of gel shock absorbers
These shock absorbers are made to measure to meet your technical constraints.
They are made 100% from gel or flexible technical sheet.
