Newport has announced the release of the S-2000 Stabiliser Series of pneumatic vibration isolators.
This offering incorporates Newport's self-centring pendulum design, laminar-flow damping system and precision auto-levelling valves.
The new S-2000 design incorporates extra features including enhanced levelling indicators, recessed lifting channels and a significantly lower magnetic permeability design.
The S-2000, with a 2,000lb load capacity per isolator, is an ideal solution for isolating optical tables, large inspection equipment, heavy machinery and large area sub-floors.
'This new isolator platform combines the best performance features of our I-2000 isolator with additional benefits that improve the overall functionality and value,' said Warren Booth, vibration control product manager for Newport.
'In addition to the ergonomic features, the aluminum hybrid chamber design is significantly less magnetic than the previous I-2000.
'We are also making available a standard offering of fully non-magnetic models as well as cleanroom compatible versions in the coming weeks.
'With our hybrid-chamber design approach, we are also able to provide customised heights and varying chamber volumes to address a wide range of isolation requirements,' he added.
The initial offering of the S-2000 will be available in six heights ranging from 16in to 28in, all equipped with precision re-levelling valves.
The S-2000 Stabiliser delivers a 1Hz vertical resonant frequency and a vertical isolation efficiency of 98 per cent at 10Hz.
Horizontal isolation begins at 2.5Hz and reaches 95 per cent efficiency at 10Hz.
