Pneumatic air tables are not meeting customer requirements as well as the more modern technology of negative-stiffness vibration isolation. More than 20 years since its introduction, it has shown ...

The SM-1 negative-stiffness isolator is the basic building block of the FP-1 Floor Platform and other heavy multiple isolator systems. They require no air or electricity. This isolator has the ...

Kinetic Systems manufactures the system with patented Minus K negative stiffness vibration isolators, resulting in a compact, passive Vibration Isolation Workstation with ultra-low natural frequencies ...

Customers that prefer to make the platform themselves can purchase the design, the SM-1 Minus K negative-stiffness vibration isolators and build the platform locally to save fabrication and shipping ...

freq.) or less natural frequencies can be achieved at or near the nominal load. The new low-frequency negative-stiffness isolator, the LC-4 in the Minus K series, is highly compact. There are two ...

The operating-load range per isolator is 90–450 kg, with three or four isolators available, depending on the configuration. Maximum displacement is 60 μm, and the stiffness is 1.8 × 10 6 N m −1.

The new CM-1 is a compact high capacity, low-frequency negative-stiffness isolator. As with all Minus K isolators, they are completely passive and use no air or electricity.
