Use of isolators made of MR material in vibration protection systems is determined by the following three factors: reliability, cost price and design efficiency. Division of a complex and multifunctional system of an isolator into constituent elements based both on functional and on design features could be one of the possible methods to solve the set problem. It will give an opportunity to create independently a vibration insulation system, an impact protection system and a positioning system which combines an offtake device and an isolator neutral position adjustment. Synthesis of each of the mentioned elements which were developed and advanced independently into a full design will allow elaborating a maintainable isolator with advanced technical and economical characteristics.
