Vibration isolation Platform ● Passive, mechanical and maintenance free ● No air hoses or supporting hardware required ● Isolates both horizontal and vertical vibrations ● Six degrees of freedom ● Compact design This platform eliminates the transmission of vibrations from a table top or counter to the instrument that is mounted to it. This includes microscopes, sample preparation tools and hardness testers. The platform is comprised of a black powdercoated, steel plate and three or four vibration isolation bearings. It comes in two styles: Series 320 VIP — rectangular shaped platforms with three or four vibration isolation bearings. Available in the following sizes: 12" x 18", 16" x 16", 18" x 24" and 24" x 30", supporting weights of 15-300 lb (7-136 kg). All platforms are less than 2" high. Series 3200 VIP — The platform design matches the footprint of the isolated instrument.

These vibrations, though, acceptable to occupants, cannot be tolerated by equipment used in patch clamping, cell injection, analytical balances, and optical microscopes. The short-term effects of such vibrations include inconsistant and unreliable performance. The long-term effects are excessive wear, maintenance, and fatigue failures. In order to protect sensitive instruments and equipment from faulty operation or failure this vibration must be significantly reduced. This can be efficiently accomplished by using vibration-free Platform and vibration-free Workstation.
