Abstract

Vibration and shock mounting of an apparatus such as a disk drive is dampened through the use of one or more O-rings held in place by a bolt with a pre-determined load force applied to the mounting bracket of the device. One or more notches or slits may be selectively employed as required to equalize the force applied to multiple mounting brackets by the device.
