Isolator

A hydrocarbon recovery system (HRS), comprising:

• an isolated mass;
• an excitation source;
• and
• an isolator disposed between the isolated mass and the excitation source, the isolator comprising:
• an outer housing comprising an outer housing bore;
• an inner member received coaxially within the outer housing;
• a precompressed compression compliance component (CCC) disposed between the outer housing and the inner member, the precompressed CCC being configured to longitudinally bias the inner member in an axial direction;
• and
• a precompressed rebound compliance component (RCC) disposed between the outer housing and the inner member, the precompressed RCC being configured to longitudinally bias the inner member in an opposite axial direction.

An isolator, comprising:

• an outer housing comprising an outer housing bore;
• an inner member received coaxially within the outer housing;
• a precompressed compression compliance component (CCC) disposed between the outer housing and the inner member, the precompressed CCC being configured to longitudinally bias the inner member in an axial direction;
• a precompressed rebound compliance component (RCC) disposed between the outer housing and the inner member, the precompressed RCC being configured to longitudinally bias the inner member in an opposite axial direction;
• an upstream endcap attached to an upstream endcap interface of the outer housing;
• a ceramic sleeve disposed within the upstream endcap;
• and
• a piston carried by the inner member, the piston being movably received within the ceramic sleeve.
