Newport has introduced the S-2000AN Stabilizer Non-Magnetic Vibration Isolator.
The instrument is designed for applications where the measurement of small magnetic fields would be otherwise impacted by traditional magnetic steel isolators.
The S-2000AN provides a 1Hz vertical resonant frequency, a vertical isolation efficiency of 98 per cent at 10Hz and a load capacity of 2,000lb.
It is suitable for isolating optical tables, such as Newport's RPR-N Series tables, or platforms that support large vacuum chambers or other heavy instruments used in materials-research applications.
Newport is also said to be the only supplier that has quantified the magnetic impact of the S-2000 Stabilizer range of isolators.
Warren Booth, product line manager at Newport, said: 'In extreme applications where it is essential that all magnetic materials be removed, the S-2000AN is the best choice due to its aluminum and 316 SS construction.' He added: 'In our tests our AN version induced only a 1.2nT change in measured magnetic field over a distance of 0 to 2ft.' The S-2000AN features Newport exclusive Safelock mounting clips, which secure the isolators to the bottom of any Newport optical table, improving the performance, stability and safety of the system.
Available in several heights ranging from 16 to 28in, the vibration isolator is equipped with precision pneumatic re-levelling valves and float-height indicators.
