Wedged three-axis inertial sensor damper-suspension

A system comprising:

• a construction machine having an operative organ;
• one or more inertial sensors configured to measure at least one of acceleration or angular rate of the operative organ of the construction machine;
• and
• an inertial sensor suspension apparatus for preventing shock and vibration impacts on the construction machine from being transferred to the one or more inertial sensors, the inertial sensor suspension apparatus comprising:
• a pocket,
• a lid,
• a core disposed in the pocket and covered by the lid, wherein the one or more inertial sensors are attached to the core,
• a plurality of elastomer insertions attached to the core and forming an upper wedge between the core and the lid and a lower wedge between the core and the pocket, and
• a coupler that provides controlled connection of the pocket and the lid to compress the plurality of elastomer insertions using a force corresponding to a target resonance frequency for the inertial sensor suspension apparatus.
