The MMC is an anti-vibration and anti-shock support specifically for naval use. It is suitable both for protecting equipment from shocks and for the isolation of structure-borne noise and any vibrations generated by the devices themselves.
Its large deformation capacity (up to 57 mm in compression) allows this MMC rubber shock absorber to greatly reduce incoming accelerations in the suspended apparatus, even in the case of very heavy shocks, such as those caused by underwater explosions close to military ships and submarines.
During the development of this anti-shock isolator, the MMC was characterised both statically and dynamically and tested in accordance with several relevant military standards (MIL-STD-167, MIL-S-901D).
