Abstract Modern electro-optic applications often contain a cryogenically cooled infrared imager placed upon a stabilized platform which is further connected to an outer housing by low-friction gimbals. Since the active system of gimbal stabilization is dedicated primarily to maintaining the steady line-of-sight control by eliminating the relatively slow effects of yaw, pitch or roll, it may have insufficient resources to suppress an excessive high-frequency vibration exported from the internal active components such as a cryogenic cooler. The vibration protective and thermally conductive interface developed allows the use of the split Stirling cryocooler, relying on highly efficient, cheap and durable linear single-piston compressor within the infrared imager mounted upon the gimbaled stabilized platform.
