<p>A single-axis active vibration reducing system for reducing vibrations in an object (12) in a single axis (20). The vibration isolation system enables the sensing (48) of motion of the center of mass (28) of an object (12) along a single axis (20) and, with the proper positioning of a single sensor-actuator (18, 24) pair with feedback operation, the dampening of vibrations of the object along that axis. Due to the positioning and alignment of the actuator (24), the vibration isolation system of the present invention does not introduce appreciable off-axis vibration. The vibration reducing system includes an actuator positioned (24) on the object to impart an actuation force along an actuator axis (26) to reduce vibrations of the object in the vibrational axis (20) without imparting substantial motion to the object other than in the vibrational axis (20).</p> |
