ABSTRACT:
A cable noise and vibration isolator arrangement for use with an actuator cable assembly having a cable core extending through an outer sheath passageway adapted to interconnect an input actuator with an actuated mechanism. A reactive housing of the arrangement includes an aft larger diameter annular portion and a forwardly extending smaller diameter tubular portion having an axial through-bore terminating in the annular portion with an internal truncated conical surface. A rubber isolator includes a large diameter aft end portion interconnected to a forwardly extending barrel portion by an intermediate body portion formed with an outer truncated conical surface and an inner truncated conical socket. The isolator socket is of sufficient size to receive the truncated conical head portion of the sheath in a conforming self-centered manner. The reactive housing tubular portion is sized to telescopically receive the isolator barrel portion therethrough while the housing truncated internal conical surface surrounds the isolator external truncated conical surface. The isolator, by virtue of being sandwiched between the reactive housing internal conical surface and the sheath exterior conical surface, is subjected to both compression and shear cable core loads thereby providing improved vibration and noise damping of energy received by the cable assembly from the mechanism.
