NSN 8145-01-662-6998 Shock Absorber Kit

Extra Shock Attenuation for Compatible SKB Shock Racks

Shock racks use elastomeric isolators between the inner equipment frame and outer case structure to help manage shock and vibration during handling and transport. The correct isolator configuration depends on the installed equipment load. A system configured for the wrong weight range may not provide the intended suspension behavior.

The 3SKB-SA adds eight shock absorbers to an eligible 3RR or 3RS rack configuration. It is intended for heavier installed equipment within the published upgraded range, not as a general-purpose addition for every rack or payload. The equipment weight should include all installed electronics, shelves, drawers, panels, power components, cabling, mounting hardware, and other items carried by the suspended frame.

Compatibility should be confirmed by exact SKB model rather than nominal rack depth or rack-unit height alone. Cases2Go identifies the 3SKB-SA for the 3RR and 3RS Series and directs buyers with 3SKB-R Series racks to the applicable heavy-load kit instead.

Payload range alone does not define system performance. Equipment position, center of gravity, front and rear support, load distribution, sway clearance, ventilation, cable service loops, handling method, and required shock or vibration criteria can all affect the completed configuration. Procurement documents should identify any required testing, certification, inspection, or installation records.

Because SKB installation is required for the Cases2Go offering, the kit should be specified with the compatible rack during procurement or coordinated as a factory modification. Confirm production timing before committing to a deployment or delivery schedule.

Shock Rack Configuration and Equipment Integration

Cases2Go supplies SKB shock racks, load-range options, mounting hardware, support rails, load spreaders, casters, and related accessories. Cases2Go also provides equipment integration services for systems requiring installed electronics, shelves, connection panels, power distribution, cable management, labeling, or other application-specific components.

Provide the exact rack model, equipment list, total installed weight, individual component weights and depths, rack-unit layout, center-of-gravity information, support requirements, transport environment, handling method, applicable drawings, and required shock or vibration criteria. Cases2Go can help confirm whether the 3SKB-SA and its published load range are appropriate for the proposed system.
