Vibration Isolation Products
Minus K offers several standard and custom vibration isolation products.
Standard Vibration Isolation Products
 |
NEW CT-10 Ultra-Thin Low-Height Compact Tabletop Vibration Isolation PlatformThe Compact Tabletop (CT-10) uses Minus K's patented breakthrough technology allowing for the best performance on the market in just a 2.7 inch tall isolation platform. The CT-10 offers our signature 0.5 Hz vertical natural frequency and ~1.5 Hz horizontal natural frequency. This is the smallest, thinnest, most portable and most user-friendly isolator ever offered that is capable of delivering this performance and require no air or electricity. |
 |
CT-2 Ultra-Thin Low-Height Tabletop Vibration Isolation PlatformThe Compact Tabletop (CT-2) uses Minus K's patented breakthrough technology allowing for the best performance on the market in just a 2.5 inch tall isolation platform. This unit is successor to the CT-1 and offers better horizontal performance with additional payload ranges for heavier instruments The CT-2 offers our signature 0.5 Hz vertical natural frequency and ~1.5 Hz horizontal natural frequency. This is the thinnest, most portable and most user-friendly isolator ever offered that is capable of delivering this performance and require no air or electricity. |
 |
LC-4 Ultra Compact Vibration IsolatorsMinus K's new LC-4 is an ultra compact, low-frequency negative-stiffness
isolator. It comes in two configurations, our low horizontal performance of 1.5 Hz horizontal or the ultra low frequency 0.5 Hz horizontal. Both configurations offer our signature 0.5 Hz vertical natural frequency. |
 |
NEW CM-1 Compact Large Capacity Vibration IsolationThe 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.
The isolators can be combined into multi isolator systems
to support heavy payloads while taking up very little
room themselves. |
 |
SM-1 Large Capacity Vibration IsolationThis isolator has the same basic features of our bench
top isolator: completely passive, negative-stiffness,
manually-adjustable, 1/2 Hz performance vertical and
horizontal. It offers low frequency isolation performance
for payloads of many thousands of pounds or kilograms. |
 |
WS-4 Vibration Isolation WorkstationThe new WS-4 is our smallest free-standing table that offers our signature ½-Hz performance. It consists of a sturdy stand and our standard BM-1 vibration isolation platform. Prices starting at $6,315.00. |
 |
MK52 Optical Vibration Isolation Table1/2 Hz performance utilizing our BM-1 series isolator. Various accessories available for integrated solutions. Developed in collaboration with Kinetic Systems. Prices starting at $28,530.00. |
 |
MK26 Vibration Isolation Workstation1/2 Hz performance utilizing our BM-1 series isolator. Various accessories available for integrated solutions. Developed in collaboration with Kinetic Systems. Prices starting at $14,660.00. |

|
 |
BM-8
Bench Top Vibration Isolation Platform
|
 |
BM-6
Bench Top Vibration Isolation Platform
|
 |
BM-4 Bench Top Vibration Isolation PlatformThe most cost effective bench top platform capable of 1/2 Hz performance vertical and horizontal. |
 |
BM-1 Bench Top Vibration Isolation PlatformOur highest capacity bench top isolator. A cost effective product for weight loads up to 1000 lb. and 1/2 Hz performance vertical and horizontal. |
 |
BA-1 Bench Top Vibration Isolation PlatformThis platform, pictured with an AFM is the automatic version of the BM-1 and automatically adjusts for varying weight loads. |
Custom Vibration Isolation Products
Minus K offers custom vibration isolation products
 |
FP-1 Vibration Isolation Floor PlatformUsed for large loads, these custom platforms are typically
designed with two or three SM-1 isolators, and can support
up to 10,000 lbs. or more. Typical uses are SEMs, TEMs,
STEMs and other large metrology or fabrication tools. |
Of note, MinusK Company products use a "passive" system, verses an "active" vibration system. Often associated with the perceived need, but not necessarily required as part of the solution and not part of our system are: Mounts, rubber pads, dampers, damping or dampening equipment, materials and techniques. The Minus K® products, formerly sold under the trade name Nano-K®, represent an important enabling technology. By reducing building and floor vibrations to unprecedented levels these systems enable vibration sensitive instruments and equipment to perform at unprecedented levels. They are used in a broad spectrum of applications including nanotechnology, biological sciences, semiconductors, materials research, zero-g simulation of spacecraft, and high-end audio. Minus K® is an OEM supplier to leading manufactures of scanning probe microscopes, micro-hardness testers and other vibration-sensitive instruments and equipment. Minus K® customers include private companies and more than 300 leading universities and government laboratories in 51 countries.
