What are the types of vibration isolation devices: the evolutionary path from passive vibration isolation to intelligent active control
Introduction
The types of vibration isolation devices include passive (e.g., LeadTop MOT-F), active (e.g., VCM-S400), and air-bearing (e.g., ZDT-B) ones. Each serves different scenarios, boosting precision and stability for equipment.
Details

As the core support for the stable operation of precision equipment, the technological evolution of vibration isolation devices has always been centered around the goal of "greater precision and efficiency". According to their operating principles and structural characteristics, they can be systematically divided into three categories: passive vibration isolation, active vibration isolation, and air-bearing vibration isolation. Each category includes innovative products that are suitable for different scenarios.

Passive vibration isolation device: continuous optimization of classic structure

Passive vibration isolation devices rely on the deformation of elastic materials to absorb vibration energy, with typical products such as rubber vibration isolators and metal springs. LeadTop's MOT-F series of honeycomb core optical platform plates utilizes a honeycomb core design and broadband damping structure to enhance stiffness while reducing mass.

The panel is made of 430 stainless steel, which is rust-resistant, easy to clean, and remains deformation-free even after long-term use. This platform is suitable for optical experiments, precision inspection, and other scenarios. The flatness and equidistant array design ensure surface stability, with roughness less than 2µm/m² and deformation controlled within 0.05-0.1mm/m².

Active vibration isolation device: precise breakthrough in intelligent control

The active vibration isolation device monitors vibrations in real-time through sensors and drives actuators to generate counteracting waves, breaking through the performance bottleneck of passive vibration isolation in the low-frequency range. LeadTop's VCM-S400 active vibration isolation bar adopts multi-degree-of-freedom active compensation technology, with a modular design supporting S400/D400/D600 hybrid configurations.

Its hot-swappable structure allows for unit replacement within 10 minutes. Its six-degree-of-freedom decoupling compensation technology (with a lateral-to-longitudinal ratio error of less than 0.5%) enables automatic correction of dynamic load fluctuations of ±30%. Specifically designed for scanning probe microscopes, its 20ms rapid response capability significantly enhances the scanning speed of atomic force microscopy (AFM) by 35%.

Air-bearing vibration isolation device: The ultimate solution for non-contact support

The air-floating vibration isolation platform utilizes compressed air to form an air film, completely eliminating mechanical friction interference through non-contact support. LeadTop's pendulum rod air-floating vibration isolator ZDT-B series adopts an ultra-thin composite airbag and a single pendulum principle structure, with an external adjustable damper to reduce the risk of resonance.

The product has a vertical natural frequency of 1.0-2.0Hz and a horizontal natural frequency of 1.0-1.5Hz. The vertical/horizontal vibration isolation efficiency in the 5Hz frequency band reaches 86-92%/88-94%, making it suitable for applications such as microscopes and laser interferometry that have extremely high vibration requirements.

From material deformation to intelligent compensation, and then to non-contact support, the technological evolution of vibration isolation devices has always served the higher demands of precision manufacturing and basic research. Brands such as LeadTop are driving vibration control technology towards the goal of "zero interference" through continuous innovation.
