BenchTop™ Compact Vibration Isolation Platforms provide the rock solid performance and ultra-small packaging that is so critical to today’s life science and disk drive applications.

Exclusive Stabilizer™ vibration isolation technology, adapted from our acclaimed Stabilizer Model I-2000 Vibration Isolators, is at the heart of the system. This technology is renowned for compact size, faster settling times, superior high-center-of-mass stability, lower natural frequency, and a patented, self-centering piston mechanism.

Four isolator modules recessed into the bottom of the platform achieve top-notch table top vibration isolation. Each contains a pneumatic, flexible rolling diaphragm that supports the load, thereby decoupling vibrations from the isolated platform. If the platform is disturbed, the modules automatically relevel the platform using compressed air.

No more bulky canisters to impede instrument access, restrict arm positioning or crowd workspaces. Newport’s hybrid-chamber design allows all vibration modules to be completely hidden within the platform.

The BenchTop also minimizes fatigue. That’s because its low profile design adds only about two inches of height to your support surface. Add optional padded armrests - and you can work for hours with unparalleled ease.
