English term

Grommet

English to French Tech/Engineering Computers: Hardware
Description d'un PC :
Vibration absorbing hard drive grommets for quieter operation of high-speed drives

Il s'agit d'un élément qui entoure les vis d'installation du disque dur afin qu'il fasse moins de bruit.
J'ai vu "vis passe-fil" dans un document mais cela me semble bizarre.

Merci Yeti !
Note from asker:
Je vais choisir Rondelle anti-vibrations qui me semble être la traduction la plus explicite.

entretoise

"C'est un accessoire bien utile qui m'a permit de placer un disque dur 3,5'' dans un emplacement 5,25'' puisque je n'avais plus d'emplacement 3,5'' de disponible, ayant un boitier PC au format micro. Ce kit est complet et me semble de bonne qualité dans l'ensemble, les entretoises en caoutchouc sont assez souple pour pouvoir absorber les vibrations causées par le disque dur et son prix me semble raisonnable puisque qu'un adaptateur du même type tout en métal n'est pas vraiment moins cher. C'est de plus un accessoire que je n'ai trouvé nul part ailleurs !"

œillet

Strictly speaking, a 'grommet' is neither a washer, nor a spacer — it is a rubber (etc.) 'sleeve that fits round the fixing screw, and through the hole in the panel (etc.), usually protruding on either side, with the object of mechanically isolating the 2 elements.
When used for its original function of passing cables through a metal panel without chafing, it is called a 'passe'fils', but this is the term suggested by the usually trustworthy Dassault gloassary for non-electrical uses.

This image gives you a good idea of the shape of the particular ones that relate to your context:

Yes, I'm sure that it's the same thing, the only thing I'm less sure of is if the term 'œillet' can be applied to exactly that — it's used for the kind of 'eyelets' you put through canvas, but I don't know for sure if it stretches to the rubber variety...

This is the image from my document: http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=grommet.jpg so it seems to be the same.

We must've had this before? With or without Wallace! Erse (not right here) is worth image-googling!
