A VIBRATION DAMPING CONNECTOR AND USE OF THE VIBRATION DAMPING CONNECTOR

摘要

The present invention refers to a vibration damping connector (100) for reducing vibrations between a vibration prone system and an optical imaging system, said vibration damping connector comprising -a first part (1) adapted to be connected to said optical imaging system, -a second part (2) adapted to be connected to said vibration prone system, and -at least one first shock absorbing element (3), a portion of said first part (1) is arranged inside a portion of said second part (2) along a central axis (A) or a portion of said second part (2) is arranged inside a portion of said first part (1) along a central axis (A) and said at least one flexible shock absorbing element (3) is arranged between said first part (1) and said second part (2), said vibration damping connector (100) further comprises -at least one fastening device (4) for fastening said first part (1) to said second part (2) and said fastening device (2) presses said first part(1) to said second part (2) via a second shock absorbing element (5). Furthermore, use of the vibration damping connector, in an optical system is disclosed.
