| | | SuperDamp™ self leveling vibration isolators offer the highest performance of any pneumatic isolator, combining extremely low transmissibility with excellent low frequency performance. ■ SuperDamp™ isolators provide unsurpassed vertical and horizontal isolation. ■ These have an extremely low resonant frequency and very fast settling time. ■ Isolators are self leveling for constant height. Vertical vibration is the most obvious factor that effects optical experiments; however, significant horizontal vibration is often encountered in laboratories on upper floors of buildings. Applications that demand extreme stability, such as interferometry, holography, and nanopositioning, require both vertical and horizontal isolation. SuperDamp™ self leveling isolators are large diameter free-standing systems that provide maximum stability and safety, without cumbersome tie bars. The low vertical and horizontal transmissibility of these isolators results in the least possible relative tabletop motion. Our proprietary design uses no liquids that could leak or degrade over time. Self Leveling System To allow for changes in load distribution, SuperDamp™ isolators also feature a self leveling system that incorporates precision threeway valves that do not compromise vertical isolation when the system is at rest. Because these valves are actuated by tabletop movement, the system returns to its original level position within ±0.25 mm (0.01 in.) after disturbances. The valves also automatically compensate for any changes in tabletop load distribution. Active Vibration Isolation | | Additionally, this system allows the table height to be adjusted over a range of 26mm (1.02") and can be used to compensate for an uneven floor. SuperDamp™ isolators require a constant supply of air. When the air supply is removed, the tabletop rests securely on top of the legs with the isolation system disabled. Two isolator heights are available to create a working table height of 910mm (36"). Nonstandard heights are available upon request. | | |
