METHOD OF FABRICATING THIN FORM FACTOR VIBRATION ISOLATORS WITH STABLE STORAGE MODULUS PROPERTIES OVER EXTENDED TEMPERATURE RANGES AS STANDALONE PARTS

摘要

A liquid RTV material is calendared and cured to form a sheet of Silicone material. The de-gassing, pressing and curing steps are tailored to provide a low porosity Silicone sheet having a fine surface finish and consistent chemical properties. The sheet is stamped or cut to form standalone vibration isolators having a thin and dimensionally stable form factor of less than 1.25 mm that exhibit a stable storage modulus to temperature excursions below −30° C. and preferably over a range of −60° C. to 100° C.
