AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Sensors are often exposed to unwanted vibrations and shocks that can distort measurement results and potentially damage the sensor housing, leading to inaccurate data and hardware failure.

Method used

An insert part for a sensor housing featuring a deformable element between two sections, typically cylindrical sleeves made of metal or metal alloys with a thermoset, elastomer, or thermoplastic deformable element, acts as both a vibration damper and shock absorber, reducing system rigidity and absorbing excessive acceleration forces.

Benefits of technology

The insert part effectively absorbs mechanical shocks and vibrations, preventing them from affecting sensor measurements and reducing the risk of damage to the sensor housing by dissipating kinetic energy, thus ensuring accurate data and extending the sensor's lifespan.
