Overview and Specification
The Vistek Series 320 Vibration Isolation Bearing (VIB) is a passive, mechanical six-degree-of-freedom isolation bearing. It is small and efficient. It does not require air hoses or supporting hardware or software of any type.
Our vibration isolation products utilize our proprietary isolation bearing technology. This technology is passive and mechanical as opposed to pneumatic or active. Our products also require little to no maintenance, no calibration and do not rely upon complicated software driven algorithms and supporting computer hardware.
Consequently, our products all share the following attributes:
- Easy to Use
- Compact
- Modular
- Efficient
|
- Robust
- Elegant
- Affordable
- Engineered

For a complete Technical Manual on how to design the Series 320 Vibration Isolation Bearing into a tool or piece of equipment, please download this document: Designing with the Series 320 Vibration Isolation Bearing.
Contending with vibration complicates tool design and operation - - The solution does not have to.

This is an illustration of the standard configuration. There are numerous attachment options for the top and the base of the bearing, and the dimensions will vary. These options make it possible to (1) mount the bearings to any tool frame, and (2) to mount granite, steel, aluminum or honeycomb plates to the top of the bearings. |
| x-y-z Isolation |
Exceptional six degrees-of-freedom isolation. Tangential, and secant compliance. Fast settling time. |
| Horizontal Isolation |
A horizontal, non-linear spring results in isolation that is constant and independent of the frequency and amplitude of the input vibrations. As a result, the horizontal WVF spring filter whites out or filters out a broad band of input frequencies and insures a constant level of vibration transmission reduction. |
| Vertical Isolation |
Broadband filtering with substantially non-linear spring filters. |
|
| Bearings need to be secured during transportation to prevent displacement. Vistek will advise with designing the locking method into a tool as appropriate. |
| Alloy, heat treated steel, a nickel and Teflon coating, and anodized aluminum. |
