Taylor Devices, Inc. announced that it has partnered with Thornton Tomasetti to manufacture and distribute the Pumpkin Mounts absorber. Pumpkin Mounts are the next generation of shock and vibration isolation technology for critical systems and structures. Originally developed by Thornton Tomasetti and its innovation accelerator TTWiiN, Pumpkin Mounts feature a symmetry that resists multi-directional lateral and vertical loads. It can support a payload in tension, compression or under shear for isolation of wall or bulkhead-mounted fixtures on all structures, including naval and commercial vessels subjected to extreme shock and vibration. Offering significantly improved performance over standard devices, Pumpkin Mounts provide enhanced load capacity that can withstand repeated shock, along with reduced high-frequency noise and efficient use of space. Unlike rubber mounts, which require secondary devices to avoid tearing and failure, Pumpkin Mounts are resistant to high-tension forces. Pumpkin Mounts reduce input accelerations of several hundred g's down to as low as 15 g or less when tested in naval environments where explosive shock standards are extremely rigorous. The mounts have exceptional shock performance during repetitive and multiple events without compromising equipment.
Taylor Devices, Inc. is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of shock absorption, rate control, and energy storage devices for use in various types of machinery, equipment, and structures. In addition to manufacturing and selling existing product lines, the Company develops new and advanced technology products. The Company manufactures and sells a group of similar products that have different applications for customers. These similar products are included in one of eight categories, namely, Seismic Dampers, Fluidicshoks, Crane and Industrial Buffers, Self-Adjusting Shock Absorbers, Liquid Die Springs, Vibration Dampers, Machined Springs, and Custom Actuators. Custom derivations of all these products are designed and manufactured for various aerospace and defense applications. Seismic Dampers are designed to mitigate the effects of earthquakes on structures. Fluidicshoks are small, compact shock absorbers with up to 19,200 inch-pound capacities.
