Ultra Compact Low Frequency Vibration Isolator

Ultra Compact Low Frequency Vibration Isolator

The new low-frequency negative-stiffness isolator, the LC-4 in the Minus K series, is highly compact. There are two options to choose from, one, a low horizontal frequency performance of 1.5 Hz and two, a ultra low horizontal frequency performance of 0.5 Hz. Our signature 0.5 Hz natural frequency in the vertical direction are offered for both options.
