Press Release Summary:
Fabricated from U-16 polyurethane, NewDamp ND60 provides vibration-isolation support for low-load applications, such as breadboards, optical rails, laser systems, and workstations. Use of multiple-cone geometry yields isolation performance that is load-independent. Isolator does not require electronic circuitry, air hoses, or other supporting hardware. U-16 material is fully cleanroom compatible and meets NASA spacecraft outgassing specifications.
Original Press Release:
Economical New Isolator Provides Superior Performance for Low Loads
Irvine, California - July 27, 2004 - Newport's ND60 NewDamp isolator provides economical vibration-isolation support for low-load applications, such as breadboards, optical rails, laser systems, and Newport's line of workstations. Fabricated from a highly engineered form of U-16 polyurethane, these new products deliver up to five times better damping than other commercial elastomeric isolators. In addition, the use of a novel (multiple-cone) geometry yields isolation performance that is virtually load-independent, unlike systems based on softer materials.
NewDamp isolators are ideal for testing and manufacturing applications that do not require the low-frequency isolation bandwidth of pneumatic or active isolation systems. These include wafer inspection and positioning systems, and precision electronic manufacturing. For production environments, NewDamp isolators offer enhanced convenience and ease-of-use, because they do not need any electronic circuitry, air hoses, or other supporting hardware. Moreover, their short settling time makes these products ideal for use in high throughput situations. In addition, the U-16 material is fully cleanroom compatible and even meets NASA spacecraft outgassing specifications.
NewDamp isolators are available in a variety of standard and custom designs. In addition, NewDamp elastomers are also available as elastic elements, for incorporation into OEM vibration-isolations systems. Newport can provide the software, testing hardware, and prototype services to assist in the development of these systems.
