Product description
The Cryo Vibration Isolation Platform (CVIP) is a passive vibration isolation platform with z, Rx and Ry attenuation of floor vibrations (read our application note on Z-Transmissibility Measurements). It is placed directly on the cryostat cold plate and carries the experiment. It is a relatively stiff spring design, which results in atypical high cut-off frequencies and high payload. Although this will limit the damping of low frequencies, compared to conventional dampers with low cut-off frequencies, it is much more insensitive to added cables and thermal braids between cold plate and experiment. These can become the limiting factor for stability in conventional dampers.
