NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y.,
April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Taylor Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ SmallCap: "TAYD") the world
leader in providing innovative shock and vibration mitigation
solutions, announced today 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.
"We are excited to be bringing this technology to users across
multiple markets," said Alan
Klembczyk, Taylor Devices president. "The many
differentiators of Pumpkin Mounts compared to conventional devices
will provide significant improvements for our clients' equipment
during transient shock and vibration events."
"Explosive testing of the mounts has shown significant
improvements in the capability to protect critical equipment," said
Phill Thompson, Thornton Tomasetti
principal and European region leader. "We look forward to this
collaboration with Taylor Devices and to a successful launch of
Pumpkin Mounts worldwide."
Incorporated in 1955, Taylor Devices, Inc. leads the way in
offering innovative solutions for the toughest shock and vibration
challenges. The company designs and manufactures shock absorbers,
liquid springs, shock isolation systems, seismic isolators,
vibration dampers, custom actuators, and other types of
hydro-mechanical energy management products. Taylor Devices'
products form the cutting edge of technology in the marketplace and
are backed by their 65+ years of successful experience in the shock
and vibration control field.
Thornton Tomasetti applies engineering and scientific principles
to solve the world's challenges – starting with yours. An
independent organization of creative thinkers and innovative doers
collaborating from offices worldwide, our mission is to bring our
clients' ideas to life and, in the process, lay the groundwork for
