Vibration Isolation from Minus K
Minus K's Passive Mechanical Vibration Isolators Outperform Air and Active Systems Without the Need for Air or Electricity
Top researchers at over 200 leading universities and government labs have selected Minus K products to achieve the superior vibration control needed in their projects!
Minus K's Negative-Stiffness isolators Selected for James Webb Space Telescope Ground Testing
Floor Platform for TEM
The University of Texas Center for Learning and Memory's transmission electron microscope (TEM) uses a custom Minus K negative-stiffness isolation platform.
The measurements below show the 1.2 to 2.5-Hz horizontal vibrations the equipment experienced in the fifth-floor lab before (left) and after (right) isolation with a 0.4-Hz negative-stiffness system.
