A Very Low Temperature Vibration Isolation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Very low temperature refrigerators are a significant source of low frequency vibrational and acoustic noise, which is a serious challenge to research using high sensitivity mechanical oscillators, or to high resolution scanning tunneling microscopes. We describe the design and operation of a vibration isolation system which is used at very low temperatures. The system consists of four masses suspended one below the other from the base of the refrigerator, on a series of springs. Eddy current dissipation is used to damp the motion, and thermal contact is made through an annealed copper ribbon. The plate which holds the experimental apparatus can be held rigidly in position, or released, by use of clamps actuated with superfluid 4He.

A Study on Design of Controller Freedom Active Vibration Isolation System
INTRODUCTION Nano precision instruments with nanometer resolution are susceptible to disturbance transmitted mostly from ground vibration and mechanical vibration due to movements of the measuring instrument itself. These kinds of vibrations which are submicrometer level and low frequency distract both precision and accuracy of precision instruments. Six degree of freedom active vibration isola...
متن کاملVibration Suppression of Fuel Sloshing using Subband Adaptive Filtering (RESEARCH NOTE)
One of the main vibration problems of aerospace vehicles with liquid fuel propulsion system is fuel sloshing. This phenomenon is a low frequency vibrational challenge which can affect the motion of the vehicle and degrade the stability of the main control system. In this regards, the motion of the liquid will be very critical when the frequency of the sloshing is very close to the frequencies o...

متن کاملA general model of a kind of parallel manipulator for active control based on KANE's dynamics
Since many applications in precision engineering will strongly require a careful isolation of the process from the vibration environment to provide a sufficiently quiescent gravity environment, the active isolation system which can achieve a very low remaining vibration level has become more and more important in recent years. In this paper, a general dynamic model of a kind of parallel platfor...
