Ergonomically Designed
Ultra-Low Frequency
Vibration Isolation
The MK52 Series Vibration Control Optical Table with more ergonomic comfort is designed specifically for ultra-low natural frequency applications. The system utilizes Minus K’s patented negative stiffness vibration isolators to provide a compact, passive optical table with ultra-low natural frequencies, higher internal structural frequencies, and excellent vertical and horizontal isolation efficiencies. It also does this without any air or electricity!
The premier choice for large applications requiring high resolution such as: Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), AFM-Raman integration, and micro hardness testing.
The MK52 Series can be configured for a wide variety of applications and customized with most of our vibration isolation workstation accessories.
- Ultra-Low Natural Frequencies
- Vibradamped Frame
- Customizable Accessories
- No Air Supply Needed – Easy to Use
- Choice of Tabletops
- Ergonomic Styling
Table top options include Granite, Steel, Composite & Honeycomb.
The MinusK vertical isolator uses a stiff spring and negative-stiffness mechanism to achieve a low net vertical stiffness without affecting the static load supporting capability.
Horizontal vibration isolation is provided by beam columns connected in series with the vertical-motion isolator.
Adjusted to a 1/2 Hz natural frequency, the workstation achieves about 93% isolation efficiency at 2 Hz, 99% at 5 Hz and 99.7% at 10 Hz.
The MK52 Series optical table can be designed for a wide variety of applications and customized with auxiliary work surfaces, enclosures, shelves, seismic restraints, retractable casters, and many other options.
Typical Vibration Control Applications for the MK52 Vibration Isolation Workstation
