Abstract

A vibration tolerant electronic assembly may include a base and a first isolation stage including a first frame, at least one first linear bearing coupling the first frame to the base to constrain movement of the first frame along a first coordinate axis, and at least one first damper for damping movement of the first frame. A second similar isolation stage may be coupled to the first isolation stage, and a third similar isolation stage may be coupled to the second isolation stage. Furthermore, an electronic device may be coupled to the third isolation stage. The electronic assembly provides resistance to disturbance of the electronic device by vibration in one or more of three coordinate axis.
