Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers (CPVAs) represent a pivotal solution for mitigating torsional vibrations in rotating systems, particularly in automotive and industrial applications. These ...

Ideally, an optical table’s vertical vibration response on isolators would be a single-degree-of-freedom system. The system would be symmetrical around the vertical axis, and a vertical force through ...

Figure 1 displays a cutaway view of TMC’s Gimbal Piston™ isolator, which uses two air chambers instead of one. The chambers are connected by a small orifice. When the piston moves up and down, air is ...
