MULTIPLE SYSTEM VIBRATION ISOLATOR

摘要

A vibration isolator ( 200 ) for isolating a first assembly ( 206 ) from vibration from a second assembly ( 208 ) includes a first system ( 202 ) and a second system ( 204 ) coupled to the first system ( 202 ). In one embodiment, the first system ( 202 ) supports the majority of the first assembly ( 206 ) relative to the second assembly ( 208 ) and the second system ( 204 ) adjusts for a change in the location of the center of gravity of the first assembly ( 206 ). Further, the second system ( 204 ) can be used to compensate for fluctuations in the atmospheric pressure near the vibration isolator ( 200 ).
