Abstract
Multiple isolators are configured with respect to an assembly (101), such as a sensor assembly in an inertial navigation system or other system where cross-axis acceleration or rotation coupling is undesirable. The system utilizes a set of isolators (203, 209, 215, and 221; 305, 307, 311, 313, 317, 319, 323, 325; or 403, 405, 407, 411, 413, and 415) that are substantially matched to each other, but may have uncorrelated axial stiffness and radial stiffness. The system configuration does not introduce cross-axis coupling, such as cross-axis translational coupling and cross-axis rotational coupling.
