The Gimbal Piston

The horizontal vibration isolation systems, called the Gimbal Piston, are mechanisms of the MICRO-g vibration isolators. These systems have a Gimbal Piston which is enclosed in a diaphragm type pneumatic spring. Gimbal Piston isolators are self-centering and stable.

The Dome Gimbal Piston

We recently succeeded in developing new invention the Dome Gimbal Piston. By incorporating a rocking mechanism with the Gimbal Piston, the horizontal natural frequency as 0.7Hz is available without yielding harmful third resonance like other systems. That enables you to use the vibration isolation table under very severe conditions such as upper floor of tall building. The Dome Gimbal Piston is optional. But because of the stability problem, please consult with us for selection.
