Neil Savage describes a selection of products designed for the task. Vibration isolation has always been important for many applications involving photonics, but as group director for vibration ...

Air Spring Isolator Air springs are soft spring elements, which build up their spring resistance from ... Bubble Mount Low-frequency isolation for electronic or medical equipment, avionics, computers, ...

In products developed using active vibration isolation techniques, automated control systems control the unnecessary vibrations. Passive techniques such as springs or rubber pads are used for ...

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 ...
