Sensitive optical experiments and high-resolution microscopes often need to be mounted on vibration-control platforms to avoid unwanted disturbances to measurements. Neil Savage describes a selection ...
Large machines typically require attaching their frames or beds to a concrete foundation, often called a reaction or inertia mass. Equipment requiring isolation is ...
Active systems can actually take several different forms, although "position" and "acceleration" servos have been alluded too. Additionally, the servo’s basic performance can be increased using ...
In the last issue of MACHINE DESIGN, we examined methods to predict how vibration-isolation systems would perform. (“Shaking up vibration models,” Nov. 6, 2008, p. 63 to 68.) This discussion centered ...
Helical vibration isolators dampen and dissipate shock and vibrational energy, minimizing shock and vibration in all three axes: compression, shear, and roll. Today, electronic equipment is at the ...
Why Negative-Stiffness Vibration Isolation is the Preferred Solution for Nanotechnology Applications
In this interview, Erik Runge, Director of Engineering at Minus K Technology talks to AZoNano about their range of Negative-Stiffness Vibration Isolators and why they are the preferred solution for ...
The actions of humans, machinery, ventilation and heating systems, and road or rail traffic can cause many vibrations. Although these vibrations have little effect on occupants, equipment used in ...
