This matrix organizes mounts by types that have been successfully used in the described application
environment. Their is no order preference in the listings. The matrix does not necessarily guarantee that the mounts
shown and listed will be suitable for a given application. SHOCK TECH recommends that all applications be
reviewed by SHOCK TECH Applications Engineering before final selection or installation design. Even then, only testing will prove the functional performance
of a given mounting system and payload to the dynamic input specifications of the installation. |
