Gimbal Piston™ for maximum damping efficiency
- Vertical and horizontal vibration isolation from 2 Hz
- Reduces vibration by more than 95% at 10 Hz
- Virtually frictionless at component contact surfaces
The Gimbal Piston™ air isolator provides excellent isolation in all directions even for the lowest input excitation levels (vibration). It is moderately damped and highly sensitive to typical low-amplitude ambient floor vibrations, yet achieves very high damping for coarse transient excitations such as sudden load changes or top plate strikes. As a result, Gimbal isolators provide excellent isolation from background vibration while being able to virtually eliminate any gross excitations within seconds. These isolators can also stabilize systems with relatively high centers of gravity without compromising isolation.
MaxDamp® for resonance damping
- Combination of a piston air isolator with internal viscous damping to limit unwanted isolator movements
- Transmission characteristic minimizes transmission in the region of the first resonant frequency
- Typical applications in metrology systems, lithography, semiconductor manufacturing
MaxDamp is a highly damped version of the Gimbal Piston air isolator. It is ideal for OEM equipment where motorized axes or robots typically move. Such systems require effective vibration isolation, as well as a short time to reach a resting state of the anti-vibration system, which can be disturbed by rapid movements of moving parts of the system.
UltraDamp™ for maximum attenuation in the resonance region
- Fast isolator settling time
- Isolation of horizontal and vertical vibrations from 4 to 5 Hz
- Minimal resonance amplification (3-5 dB) Modular design. Can be upgraded to Electro-Damp active vibration suppression
UltraDamp Combines the benefits of Gimbal Piston™ self-leveling air isolators with extremely aggressive damping. Ideal solution for systems containing robotic movements or motorized axes that require vibration isolation and rapid dampening of unwanted platform motion caused by mass movement.
