For effective vibration isolation, it is desirable to increase the frequency ratio r to a value much larger than sqrt(2) by either reducing the stiffness of the system or increasing its mass. This is ...

Prolonged or excessive vibration can interfere with performance and damage equipment. Wire rope isolators can reduce noise, vibration and shock levels all at once, which gives them a very favorable ...

Minus K Technology, celebrating 30 years in the market, presents its vibration isolation products in this short video filmed at Photonics West 2023. As Erik Runge, the company’s vice president of ...

Traditional isolators are built with metal springs or rubber blocks. They have low internal damping and generally are only effective at frequencies near 10 Hz. They also offer little to no isolation ...

Eric Ungar and Colin Gordon created the Vibration Criteria (VC) curves in the early 1980s. Originally, they were created as generic vibration criteria for vibration-sensitive equipment used in the ...

Technology advances have steadily been implemented to improve the performance of commercial atomic force microscopes (AFMs) since the release of the first commercial model about 30 years ago. Now, the ...
