Assembly shock mounting and heat coupling system

H Zulliger
TLDR
In this article, a shock mounting and heat coupling system for X-ray spectrometers is described, which provides a shock free mounting and a heat conductive coupling between an assembly and a croystat.
Abstract
A shock mounting and heat coupling system providing shock free mounting and heat conductive coupling between an assembly such as an X-ray spectrometer and a heat reservoir such as a croystat. Heat coupling is provided by a plurality of strands of heat conducting material connected between the heat reservoir and the assembly to provide a flexible inelastic heat pathway. Structural mounting is provided by a flexible, highly damped, low heat conductive shock absorber connected between the assembly and a housing rigidly extending from the heat reservoir. An X-ray spectrometer using the mounting and coupling system is described.
