SOMAG Launches Vibration Isolation Technology for Naval and Land-Based Sensor Systems
SOMAG AG Jena expands its proven vibration isolation technology to naval and land platforms. The Passive Vibration Isolation Ring (PaVIR), successfully used in aerial applications, is now available for pan-tilt cameras, EO/IR sensors, radar, and other mission-critical payloads operating on naval vessels and ground vehicles.
Vibration from engines, wave impacts, or rough terrain can degrade sensor performance or cause failure. PaVIR is a passive mechanical damping system that absorbs and isolates vibration using tailored combinations of rubber dampers, elastomers, and springs. Unlike active systems, it requires no power, no software, and no calibration.
Benefits of PaVIR:
- Prevents motion blur and image instability
- Extends the lifespan of sensitive components
- Resistant to corrosion, shock, and harsh field conditions
- Fully customizable to your sensor’s weight, center of gravity, and mounting system
Applications include: surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting, and distance measurement using laser, GPS, ultrasound or interferometry.
Already standard in SOMAG’s airborne systems (e.g. GSM 5000, DSM 400), PaVIR is now an optional upgrade for land and marine platforms such as RSM 50, NSM 500, and OSM 5000.
The isolation ring can be easily installed between the payload (in this case the pan-tilt camera) and the stabilization Mount itself. Though the general configuration and installation varies from PaVIR to PaVIR regarding the final design for each application.
