A shaft mounting assembly includes an elongate shaft with an outer surface having a substantially circular cross-section and a cylinder having an inner surface defining a bore housing the shaft. A spring having a substantially circular discontinuous band with correspondingly shaped axially arcuate inner and outer surfaces. One of the surfaces comprises a groove, and the spring is positioned in the groove with both axial edges of the band located therein. In a de-energised state of the spring, the height of the band is greater than the depth of the groove, a portion of the band between the axial edges protruding out of the groove, the axial width of the band being less than the width of the groove; and, an energised state with the spring compressed within the bore to reduce the height of the band and increase the axial width compared to the de-energised state.

A rotating machine system can include a rotating machine. The rotating machine system can include a housing. The housing can include an inner surface. The housing can surround at least a portion of the rotating machine. The inner surface of the housing can be spaced from the rotating machine such that a space is defined therebetween. The rotating machine system can include one or more super elastic wires. The one or more super elastic wires can be positioned in the space and can be operatively connected to the rotating machine and the inner surface of the housing. The one or more super elastic wires can reduce vibration within the rotating machine system.

A vibration isolator can be configured to provide improved vibration isolation performance, such as in connection with a bicycle saddle. A vibration isolator can be operatively connected to a bicycle saddle. The vibration isolator can be configured to exhibit a non-linear stiffness profile. The non-linear stiffness profile can include a region of quasi-zero stiffness. The vibration isolator can include one or more movable body members and one or more super elastic material members.

A vibration damping mount is disclosed that is designed to be mounted to a vehicle such as a car, truck, ATV or boat and accommodate an electronic device with a screen. The vibration damping mount may be mounted by a bracket, bolts, a clamp, or other coupling means. The vehicle-mounted portion and device-mounting portion of the vibration damping mount may generally be connected by a piston having springs on either side to absorb vibrational energy from the motion of the vehicle the system is mounted to, thereby reducing vibration of the screen of any electronic device mounted to the system. The springs may be further tuned by tightening or loosening tuning screws in contact with the springs, thereby increasing or decreasing the force of the springs on the piston. This allows the vibration damping mount to be adapted to a variety of vehicles and circumstances.

A gas turbine engine component includes an inner support structure surrounding an engine center axis and fixed to an engine static structure, an outer support structure spaced radially outward of the inner support structure, and a curved beam comprised of a plurality of curved beam spring segments that are positioned adjacent to each other to form a ring. The inner and outer support structures are coupled together around the curved beam to enclose the curved beam therebetween and form an assembly. A bearing is spaced radially inward of the assembly.

Proposed is an anti-vibration mount using combination of multiple springs in which a main spring is provided between an upper frame and a lower frame to reduce vibration, and an auxiliary spring is provided at each of the side portions of the upper frame such that the direction and magnitude of a force applied by the auxiliary spring change according to the compressed degree of the main spring, so the effect of an air spring is realized only with the combination of the main and auxiliary springs which are coil springs. The anti-vibration mount includes: the upper frame allowing an object to be installed thereon; the lower frame provided under the upper frame by being spaced apart therefrom; the main spring provided between the upper frame and the lower frame; and the auxiliary spring elastically supporting each of opposite sides of the upper frame and the lower frame.

A vibration isolator includes a first conical disc spring member having a first end and a second end. A first-end spacer in contact with the first spring member first end, and a second-end spacer in contact with the first spring member second end. A second conical disc spring member has a first end and a second end. The second spring member first end is in contact with the first-end spacer. Another second-end spacer is in contact with the second spring member second end. A flexible housing of the isolator defines an interior. The housing is in contact with and extends between the second-end spacer and the other second-end spacer so that the first-end spacer and the first and second spring members are received in the housing interior. The housing includes a plurality of spaced-apart through holes formed therealong between the second-end spacer and the other second-end spacer.
