LORD® Axial Isolators, or MWD shock absorbers, are specifically designed to protect Measurement While Drilling (MWD) electronics from axial shock and vibration. Our field-proven axial isolator can extend the life of MWD tools and protect downhole electronics in a broad range of operating conditions by significantly reducing the magnitude and quantity of shock events.

Features and Benefits

•Reduces axial shock events by 70-80%
•Improves MWD reliability
•Field-Proven
•Over 500 units fielded since 2015
•No oil fill required
•Utilizes non-linear elastomer spring/damper elements, which improves reliability and shortens maintenance cycles versus conventional metal spring with fluid compensation alternatives
•Combined axial & lateral protection for MWD tools
