Eachhandle has two mounting holes that are used to bolt the handles to thebreadboard and is supplied with all fixing screws. For larger breadboards, onehandle at each corner is recommended.
This pliable Sorbothane Sheet is ideal for isolating mechanical noise orvibrations. This substrate absorbs up to 95.5% of impact energy
and then reforms to its original shape. The 1/4" or 1/8"thick sheets can be placed under your
breadboard in single or stacked layers tocounter the effects of uneven worksurfaces or to isolate your breadboard
from vibrations. For objects over 5lbs, the 1/4"thick sheets are recommended. The Sorbothane sheet may be

Thorlabs' line of breadboard and small table supports are available with a choice of active,passive, or rigid isolation supports to meet specific needs and budget requirements. The basic workstation configuration includes a breadboard working surface and a supportsystem. The working height is nominally 790mm (31") for 60mm (2.4") thick tops, and840mm (33") for 110mm (4.3") thick tops. The frame utilizes a welded frame that isshipped fully assembled. It is rigid and provides a firm, stable work surface. The frame isfinished with a high-durability, matte black polyurethane paint. All workstations areprovided with a set of four leveling feet. Each leveling foot is threaded to enable fineheight adjustment and accurate alignment. This eliminates the possibility of impairedisolation performance due to non-level floors. The leveling feet incorporate a lock nut toensure that the adjustment is fixed. Casters (optional) are located beneath each leg toallow for easy movement of the workstation.

Workstation – Passive Isolation (700mm Tall)Our passive isolation system incorporates four independent airmounts, each manually leveled, for general applicationsrequiring isolation from low frequency vibrations. Theseisolators do not require a constant source of air. Passiveisolation is particularly effective for instruments with a highcenter of gravity, providing the stability and stiffness requiredto result in rapid attenuation of vibrational disturbances.Select a passive system if your application would benefit froma high degree of vibration isolation. For loads of 45 – 180kg,the standard system is the most cost effective solution. If theweight of your application and breadboard exceeds 180kg,choose the heavy duty variant. Custom sizes are available bycontacting Tech Support.

When choosing between the three series ofoptical tables (Standard, Performance, andUltra), it is necessary to determine thedesired dimensions, isolation performancespecifications, and options (some custom)required to meet your needs. In addition,each series comes in a Plus version (i.e.StandardPlus, PerformancePlus, andUltraPlus), which is thicker (310mm(12.2") as opposed to 210mm (8.3"), thusleading to a more ideal compliance curve.
Standard/StandardPlus Series:
The Standard Series (see pages 46-47) oftabletops feature a double skin design with asingle honeycomb layer. These tablesprovide a cost-effective choice for generalsurface applications that require a stableworking surface such as multimode fiberoptic setups. The StandardPlus Series (see
pages 48-49) offers all of the same designtechniques and materials as the StandardSeries but offers increased stiffness due tothe increased thickness.
Performance/PerformancePlus Series:
The Performance Series of optical tables (seepages 50-51) features a triple skin designwith two honeycomb layers, resulting inincreased dynamic stiffness when comparedto the Standard Series. This series is ideal forimaging or positioning on the micron scale.The PerformancePlus Series (see pages 52-53) offers all of the same design techniquesand materials as the Performance Series butoffers increased stiffness due to the increasedthickness.
Ultra Series/UltraPlus:
The Ultra Series of optical tables (see pages54-55), like the Performance Series, features
a triple skin design with two honeycomblayers. However, this series has additionaldamping cells inside the honeycombstructure, thus leading to a state-of-the-artinterior structure that minimizes the tunedand broadband damping features of thetabletop. The Ultra Series is well suited fordemanding experiments such asnanopositiong and interferometricapplications. The UltraPlus Series (see pages56-57) offers all of the same designtechniques and materials as the Ultra Seriesbut offers increased stiffness due to theincreased thickness.
Custom Tables:
Although Thorlabs ships many of its opticaltables from stock, our manufacturingfacilities can produce custom optical tables ifour stocked tables do not meet your needs.

VIBRATION ISOLATION BASICS
Introduction
This theory section on the vibration
properties of optical tables,
breadboards, and their support
systems has been written for the scientist
or engineer who is not overly familiar
with vibration theory. It serves to
introduce some of the key parameters
and characteristics of optical tables. More
importantly, it provides a basis on which
products can be selected, ensuring that
money is not wasted on over-specified
product purchases or critical work time
is not lost due to lower specification
products being selected.
In the wind, tall buildings may sway
with a horizontal frequency of 1-10Hz.
Vibrations due to equipment
and machinery often have a somewhat
higher frequency, but usually below
200Hz. Vibrations, both natural and
manmade, are always with us and produce
relative motions of objects that may
be imperceptible to the casual observer
and yet are often disastrous to a wide
range of precision experiments.
Therefore, before choosing a vibration
isolation system it is important to
determine the following:
a) the severity of the environment where
the table is going to be placed, (i.e. in a
basement or on the upper floor of a steel
frame building).
b) the sensitivity of the experimental
setup.
When choosing a vibration isolationsystem, consider the following:
■ The sensitivity of the setupdetermines the appropriate table.
■ The severity of the enivronmentdetermines the selection of the isolation system.
After both aspects have been consideredseparately, the overall requirementscan be reviewed together to ensurethat the tabletop is compatible withthe mounting system.
Selecting a Tabletop
The absence of relative motion betweenany two (or more) components onthe surface of an optical tabletop is theprimary goal of optical table design.
An optical tabletop is an exampleof a common problem in engineeringand physics, namely the deformationof a body or structure in response toexternal forces. These forces may bestatic, such as the sagging of a tabletopdue to a large localized mass being placedon it. Alternatively, they may be dynamic,such as acoustic vibrations in the air, thevibrations of a small motor sittingon top of the table, or vibration inducedfrom the building into the tabletopthrough its mounting points.
Compliance
The most widely used transfer functionfor the vibrational response of an opticaltable is compliance. In the case of aconstant (static) force, this is definedas the ratio of the linear or angulardisplacement to the magnitude of theapplied force. In the case of a dynamicallyvarying force (vibration), the complianceis the ratio of the excited vibrational
amplitude (angular or linear displacement)to the magnitude of the forcing vibration.
Any deflection of the tabletop is evidentby the change in relative position of thecomponents mounted on the table surface.Therefore by definition, a lowercompliance value is associated with abetter table because deflection of thesurface on which components aremounted is minimized.
Compliance is used to measure deflectionat different frequencies and is measuredin units of displacement/unit force (i.e.meters per Newton).
To understand compliance, considera hypothetical structure with onlyone vibrational degree of freedom,(i.e. a structure with only one directionof deformation). This could be a steelbar that is firmly anchored at one end sothat it can only vibrate in one direction.
The general expression for complianceof a system such as this is given by
where k is the stiffness, c is the damping,f is the frequency, and m is the mass.
If we restate the above equation in wordsthen
A plot of compliance versus frequency, inaccordance with this formula, shows thatthe compliance of a rigid body can beseparated into three parts: stiffness,resonance effects, and mass effects.
Making the right choices canmake all the difference when itcomes to isolating vibrations.For more information contactus directly.

Compliance versus frequency for asystem with one degree of freedom
Low Frequency Compliance
At zero and low frequencies, the stiffnessterm dominates the compliance equation.When a low frequency forcing vibrationis applied to the unattached end of our bar,it bends in response. The amount ofdeflection is determined by the stiffnessof the bar, which ultimately depends onits shape, the tensile modulus of elasticity(Young's modulus) of the bar material,and the method of mounting and/orconstraining the bar.
Any solid body has a fixed equilibrium,and when forces are applied, it can bedeformed from this equilibrium shape.The potential energy of the body rises, andthis is manifested as resistive forces, whichact to restore the equilibrium shape.
When the bar is deflected, the restoring forcesreturn it to its equilibrium (linear) position.However, the momentum of the bar causesit to overshoot this position. Restoring forcesnow act in the opposite direction to returnthe bar to its equilibrium position, and again,momentum causes an overshoot beyondlinearity. This oscillation of the bar is anexample of a simple harmonic oscillator,and in the absence of damping, thisoscillation would persist forever.
When a body is vibrating at its resonantfrequency, the energy in the vibrationalternates between potential and kinetic.At the maximum deflection ordisplacement, the velocity is zero, theacceleration is maximum, the potentialenergy is maximum, and the kinetic energyis zero. At equilibrium, or zerodisplacement, the opposite is true.
Compliance at Resonance
When the forcing vibration is at theresonant frequency, each maximum in the
velocity of the forcing vibration coincideswith a maximum in the accelerationof the excited vibration. This adds tothe acceleration of the bar, which therebyaccumulates vibrational energy and actuallyamplifies the forcing vibration. This is inaccordance with the previous equation forcompliance, which can be solved to show
where ƒ is the frequency of the forcingfunction, ƒn is the natural resonantfrequency of the system, ℘is the dampingratio, and k is the stiffness.
From this equation, it can be seen thatwhen the frequency of the forcing functionis close to the resonant frequency, thecompliance is determined solely by thedamping term and can be quite large.
High Frequency Compliance
At higher frequencies, the compliance istotally dominated by the mass (inertia) ofthe table. From the previous equations, thecompliance at high frequencies is given by
where m is the effective mass and ƒis the frequency of the forcing vibration.
In real systems, the mass term in the generalequation for compliance can become quitecomplex. In certain very simple vibrationalsystems, such as our vibrating bar, it is fairlyeasy to evaluate the mass involved in thevibration. However, in the case of astructure such as an optical table withseveral types of bending and flexuralresonant modes of vibration, differentpoints on the table are undergoing differentamplitudes of vibration. At nodal points,there is no vibrational amplitude at all forthat specific vibrational node. The effectivemass involved in the vibration is therefore acomplicated function best determined bycomputer programs.
Compliance of a Real Table
The concept of an ideal rigid body is usefulwhen considering optical tableperformance. This theoretical structuredoes not resonate and therefore has nocompliance peaks. When plotted on alog:log scale, an ideal rigid body has acompliance proportional to 1/ƒ2 and isrepresented by a straight line with a slopeof -2. It represents the ultimate design goal
when manufacturing optical tables - thenearer the actual curve fits the straight line,the better the dynamic stiffness.
A compliance curve of a real table can nowbe examined. The figure below shows atypical compliance curve measured at thecorner of a Thorlabs tabletop.
A typical compliance curve of a highperformance optical table
Several aspects of this curve merit specialcomment. The initial portion of the plot(i.e. before the first table resonance) isdetermined primarily by the table supports,not the table itself.
Also, notice how the peaks at complianceresonances decrease in size towards higherfrequency. As the frequency increases, thedenominator in the compliance expressionbecomes large, and therefore thecompliance is reduced. This means that asthe frequency increases, a given excitationforce produces a smaller amplitudeexcitation in the table.
The low frequency peaks are the mostimportant for two reasons. First, these arethe largest peaks, corresponding to theweakest points in the compliance spectrum.Second, typical vibrations from laboratoryequipment are usually below 150Hz. Thepeaks should be at the highest frequencypossible in order to keep the compliance inthe 0-150Hz region as low as possible.
Summary of Key Points
■ More Sensitive Setups Require TabletopsWith a Lower Compliance

Implications for Table Selection
For optimum performance, an opticaltable must meet several conditions. Thefirst resonant frequency should be as highas possible, at least above the frequency ofthe noise sources. The table should be asstiff as possible, and it should also be welldamped, particularly near the resonantfrequency of the table. Thorlabs’ opticaltables and breadboards are designed tobe light but stiff structures, whichincorporate good damping.
Selecting the Isolation System
Vibration isolation or elimination at anoptical surface is a two part problem. Asdiscussed in the notes on optical tabletops,an optical table is designed to have zero orminimal response to a deflective force orvibration. This in itself is not sufficient toensure a vibration-free working surface.The rigid table may still vibrate withoutdeforming (i.e. vibrations of the table onthe mounting system may occur). Thesetypes of vibration are constrainedtranslations and/or rotations of theoptical table.
The entire table system is subjectedcontinually to vibrational impulses fromthe laboratory floor. These vibrations maybe caused by large machinery within thebuilding or even by wind-or traffic-excitedbuilding resonances (swaying).
Vibrations of a floor in a building can bedivided into two basic types: vertical andhorizontal. Typically, vertical componentsare in the 10-50Hz range and horizontalcomponents are in the 1-20Hz range. Toprevent such vibrations from disturbing asetup or test, it is important to mount thetable in such a way as to isolate itvibrationally from the laboratory floor(i.e. mount the table such that itsinstantaneous position is independent ofthe periodic motions of the laboratoryfloor). This type of mounting is termed'seismic' mounting. When an object isseismically mounted with respect to thefloor, the motions of the object and thefloor are completely uncoupled andseparate.
Transmissibility
Consider a ball suspended from anenormous mass by a spring. For now, weshall ignore the pendulum motions andconsider a system having only one degree
of freedom (i.e. capable only of vertical
extension motions).
In the absence of vibrational impulses, the
ball is stationary at its rest position.
Suppose the object from which the ball is
suspended is not infinitely large or not
infinitely stiff so that the point at which
the spring is anchored starts to vibrate.
Some of the vibration energy may be felt
at the ball, causing it to vibrate at the
same frequency.
The frequency of this motion is given by
where fn is the resonant frequency of the
oscillation, m is the mass moving during the
oscillation, and k is the spring constant
(related to the stiffness of the spring).
The transfer function most commonly
used to express this flow of vibrational
energy is termed transmissibility and is
defined as the ratio of the dynamic output
to the dynamic input (i.e. the ratio of the
amplitude of the transmitted vibration to
that of the forcing vibration).
Resonance
In the example just outlined, the
transmissibility of the spring is very
dependent on the frequency of the forcing
vibration. The idealized transmissibility of
this system is given by
where ƒ is the frequency of the forcing
function, ƒn is the natural resonant
frequency of the system, and ℘is the
damping ratio C/CC, which is explained
later in these notes.
The following graph shows a plot of this
idealized transmissibility as a function of
frequency. Note the similarity to the
compliance transfer function previously
discussed in the table vibration text. Again,
there are three distinct regions on the
curve.
A typical transmissibility vs frequencycurve for a system with one degree offreedom
At low or zero frequencies, the ball andspring move synchronously with the tableand with the same amplitude; thus, thetransmissibility is unity and the systembehaves as though the spring were rigid,with no vibrational isolation.
As the frequency increases, a resonantcondition is approached. The ball hasmass and momentum when moving andcannot change direction instantaneouslyin response to the rapidly changingforcing vibration. The vibration of the ballstarts to lag behind the forcing vibration,so they are no longer in phase. Eventually,this phase lag becomes exactly 90° and atthis point, the system is vibrating at itsnatural or resonant frequency. At thisresonant frequency, the systemaccumulates vibrational energy andincreases in amplitude during the timethat the forcing vibration is applied (i.e.the system acts as a vibrational amplifier).As defined by the equation fortransmissibility, the amplitude of thisresonant motion does not grow to infinitybecause of damping.
At frequencies much higher than theresonant frequency, the response of theball is determined solely by the mass term,which is much larger than the stiffnessterm. In other words, the spring isrelatively soft and the vibrational forcetravels slowly along it in the form ofcompression extension waves. This slowtransmission effectively spreads out theoscillatory nature of the forcing vibration.Essentially, the ball experiences a time-averaged force due to the fast movingvibration, and unless the vibrationinvolves a net displacement, this time-averaged force tends to zero withincreasing vibrational frequency.

transmissibility approaches zero, theposition of the ball is not affected by thevibration in the large mass. This is a classicexample of seismic mounting.
Damping
Damping refers to any process that causesan oscillation in a system to decay rapidly tozero amplitude. It is a very importantphenomenon in vibration suppression orisolation. Damping causes the energy to bediverted from vibration to other sinks.Damping in a system is usually defined asthe ratio of actual damping (C) to criticaldamping (CC). Critical damping is theminimum amount of damping in a systemnecessary to prevent resonant oscillation,following application of an impulsive force.
Damping is a resonant effect in thatprimarily, it affects the transmissibilityfunction at or near resonance.
At resonance, the transmissibility becomes
where ℘ is the damping ratio (C/CC).
The height of the transmissibility peak atresonance is mainly determined by theamount of damping. In the absence ofdamping, the peak would be infinitelyhigh. Also, a system with no dampingwould vibrate resonantly ad infinitum,even when the vibrational source (forcingfunction) is removed. Clearly, all realsystems contain damping to some degree.Using the suspended ball as an example,the simplest form of damping would be toimmerse the ball in a viscous oil. Viscousdrag would convert the vibrational energyto heat by friction.
Seismic Mounting of Optical Tables
The preceding discussion suggests inprinciple, a way in which an optical tablecould be vibrational isolated (i.e.seismically mounted). If an optical tablecould be suspended from the ceiling bysprings, then at frequencies much higherthan the natural resonance of the springisolation system, ambient buildingvibrations would not be transmitted to thetable. Obviously, this solution has nopractical value, but it clarifies the generalprinciples involved.
Typically, ambient vibrations in a buildingtend to be in the 10-50Hz range forvertical components, and 1-20Hz forhorizontal components.
To seismically mount an optical tableunder these conditions requires amounting system with a very low resonantfrequency (i.e. a weak spring with a smallspring constant). Unfortunately, even withthe use of composites, optical tables are
relatively massive, typically 500kg for a1.2m x 2.4m table. Such a system wouldinvolve highly extended springs and a verylarge travel range of the table. However, itis interesting to note that if stiff springswere used in such a system, then theresonant frequency for pendulum motioncould easily be less than 1Hz, and hencethe table would be well isolated fromhorizontal vibrations of the building.
The ideal mounting system shown belowhas a rigid tabletop mounted to the floor insuch a way that it can vibrate in both thevertical and horizontal directions, both withlow resonant frequencies. Even thoughthese resonant frequencies can be madelower than most building vibrations, it isimportant that the height, and hence thewidth, of the resonant peak in thetransmissibility curve be reduced. This isachieved by adding a damping mechanism,which ensures minimum oscillation atresonance and short settling times.
Summary of Key Points
■ For Best Performance, an Optical TableShould be Seismically Mounted
■ Transmissibility of the Isolation SystemShould be as Low as Possible
■ Below the First Resonant Frequency ofthe Table and Isolation System,Transmissibility is High
■ At Resonance, Damping is Critical inReducing Transmissibility
■ Above Resonance, Transmissibility isDetermined by Mass
Implications for Isolator Selection
For optimum performance, the table andisolator system must have a resonantfrequency well below the frequency ofambient noise vibrations. Damping iscritical to system performance. ■

Thorlabs’ Standard Series of optical tables are a cost-effective choicefor general purpose applications. These tables utilize similarconstruction techniques and the same high-quality materials as theUltra range of tables. With a single steel core and broadbanddamping, this series offers enhanced dynamic rigidity and stiffness.
The Standard Series of tabletops are ideally suited for lessdemanding general photonics applications, such as generalspectroscopy and multimode fiber optic setups. These tabletops arealso good for micropositioning and non-interferometricapplications.

Thorlabs’ Performance Series of tables offer a tuned and broadband enhanced damping system, resulting in increased dynamic stiffnesswhen compared to the Standard Series of tables.
By introducing a third intermediate skin into the core of the structure, our triple-plated double-honeycomb technology produces the mostrigid composite tables in the industry. The outer skins are thermally matched with the internal plate to minimize bowing due totemperature variations and cycling and to ensure that the flatness of the table is maintained. Mounting holes are sealed with plated steelcups, making the cleanup of spills easy.

PerformancePlus Series of Optical TablesThe PerformancePlus Series of optical tables feature the same damping materials and design as the Performance series range but offerincreased stiffness when compared to Performance Series models due to the increased thickness [12.2" (310mm) versus to 8.3" (210mm)thick]. Choose a Plus version of a table if your application would benefit from reduced compliance at a given frequency. All Thorlabs'tabletops offer the highest levels of surface flatness available, high dynamic stiffness, and low relative tabletop motion.

The UltraPlus Series of optical tables feature the same dampingmaterials and design techniques as the Ultra Series but offerincreased stiffness when compared to Ultra Series models due tothe increased thickness (12.2" (310mm) compared to 8.3"(210mm) thick). Choose a Plus version table if your applicationwould benefit from reduced compliance at a given frequency.
All Thorlabs tabletops offer the highest levels of surface flatnessavailable, high dynamic stiffness, and low relative tabletop motion,making them the obvious choice for any demanding scientificapplication.

Joined TablesThorlabs makes standard tables as large as 1.5 x 4.25m (5 x 14 ft),and thicker sizes can be manufactured upon request. However, insome situations, it may be more convenient to assemble a largertable in the laboratory by joining several smaller tables together. All
Thorlabs tabletops can be provided with special joining plates,allowing two or more tables to be joined rigidly and securely,thereby eliminating shifts in tabletop equipment when a particulartable is disturbed.
Tabletops can be bolted together end-to-end, side-to-side, or side-to-end, to form complex yet convenient structures. The joiningprocess is simple and straightforward, allowing large structures tobe assembled in only a few hours. In place of the heavy steel joinerplates traditionally used, Thorlabs has designed aluminum joinerrails, which produce a strong, stiff structure without affecting
significantly the stiffness to weight ratio. This also enables themanufacture of fully nonmagnetic systems.
Joining as a Future OptionThorlabs offers a cost-effective and convenient way to anticipatethe need for joining tables at a later date. If, when ordering youroriginal table, you feel that there is a likelihood that you willeventually need to join this table to another table, you may haveone of the matched joining plates built into the original table.Thorlabs will store the other matched plate. When you wish toorder the second table to be joined to the first, Thorlabs will usethe existing matched plate to assure you a perfect fit between thetwo tables.
Contact your nearest Thorlabs office for further information.

Vibration Isolation Systems for Optical TabletopsVibration isolation systems are used to maintain stability in theenvironment around an optical table so that there is no contributionfrom ground-borne vibrations to the relative motion betweencomponents mounted to the optical table and the table itself.Vibrations may result from seismic activity from the building,pedestrian traffic, or nearby machinery. The amount of transmittedvibration transferred to the tabletop represents an important factor indefining an optimized setup.
For an ideal mounting system with appropriate seismic activity, arigid tabletop should be mounted to the floor by a combinationof dampers and springs. Maintained by inertia, the springscompress and relax to stabilize the tabletop position. Minimumoscillation resonance and short settling times are ensured by adamping mechanism.
Air springs are ideally suited to low resonance with short travelranges along with high load capacities. As the floor vibrates, airpressure alternately increases and decreases to maintain stability.Objects placed on the tabletop remain stationary. The rigidity of theair springs operate independently from the load, yet it is dependentupon the height of the tabletop. Optimum performance is achieved
by floating a load isolator to a working height that is nominal.
Air springs that peak on a transmissibility curve at 3.25Hz are idealfor isolation of vibrations above 10Hz. Should significant vibrationoccur below 10Hz, a more sophisticated, vertically enhanced tabledesign is required.
When enhanced vibration isolation is required, a two-chamber airspring can accomplish the additional isolation. In this configuration,an upper chamber connects to a lower reservoir through a resistancedamper. Vibration damping is optimized when the friction fromcompressed air is forced through the resistance damper.
In certain sensitive optical experiments, horizontal isolation isrequired. Vibrations ranging from 1Hz to 10Hz can be virtuallyeliminated when horizontal isolating elements are employed. Theactive design combines both a vertical isolation chamber and ahorizontal vibration damper for optimal vertical and horizontalisolation.
Load balancing distribution on an optical table may need to bechanged frequently. To maintain optimum isolation performance,automatic height adjustment is necessary to keep a table level.

Rigid Non-Isolating Systems
Many environments and applications do not warrant vibration isolation. In suchcases, it is only necessary to have a non-isolating support structure. Thorlabs' rigidisolation systems are economical support structures that are strong enough tosupport an optical table under heavy load.
Thorlabs offers large-diameter, freestanding, non-isolating supports designed tosupport tabletops without cumbersome tie bars. Each non-isolating support hasthree adjustment screws to level or adjust the table height over a 21mm (0.85")range using an open end wrench.
These non-isolating supports have a 2500kg (5500lbs) load capacity for a set of four.They are available in two standard heights, 600mm and 700mm (24" and 28"), toallow any table surface to be supported at a standard 910mm (36") height. Specialheights are available upon request.

Active Isolation Systems – Self-Leveling
Self-leveling vibration isolators offer the highest performance ofany pneumatic isolator, combining extremely low transmissibilitywith excellent low frequency performance.
■ Isolators Provide Unsurpassed Vertical and HorizontalIsolation
■ Extremely Low Resonant Frequency and Very Fast SettlingTime
■ Isolators are Self-Leveling for Constant Height
Vertical vibration is the most obvious factor that affects opticalexperiments; however, significant horizontal vibration isoften encountered in laboratories on upper floors ofbuildings. Applications that demand extreme stabilitysuch as interferometry, holography, and nanopositioningrequire both vertical and horizontal isolation.
Self-leveling isolators are large-diameter, freestandingsystems that provide maximum stability and safety withoutcumbersome tie bars. The low vertical and horizontaltransmissibility of these isolators results in the least possiblerelative tabletop motion. Our proprietary design does notuse liquids, which could leak or degrade over time.
Self-Leveling SystemTo allow for changes in load distribution, isolators alsofeature a self-leveling system that incorporates precision three-way valves that do not compromise vertical isolation when thesystem is at rest. Because these valves are actuated by tabletopmovement, the system returns to its original level position within±0.25mm (0.01") after disturbances. The valves also automaticallycompensate for any changes in tabletop load distribution.
Additionally, this system allows the table height to be adjusted overa range of 26mm (1.02") and can be used to compensate for anuneven floor. Active isolators require a constant supply of air.When the air supply is removed, the tabletop rests securely on top of the legs with the isolation system disabled.
Two isolator heights are available to create a working tableheight of 910mm (36"). Nonstandard heights are availableupon request.

Active Isolation Systems – Self-Leveling (continued)Technology
Vertical Damping is achieved by the use of a dual-chamberdamped pneumatic spring. The table is supported by the airpressure in these chambers. A piston, clamped to the bottomof the table, is sealed to the upper chamber with a rollingrubber diaphragm, allowing virtually friction-free motionbetween piston and chamber. Floor or tabletop motion forcesair to flow from one chamber to the other through a high-resistance damper. This restriction of airflow dampensoscillatory motion between the floor and table, dramaticallyreducing settling time. The volume ratio of the chambers hasbeen optimized to maximize damping performance for ourcomplete range of tabletops while preserving a low resonantfrequency.
Horizontal Damping is accomplished by supporting thepneumatic vertical isolator on a trifilar suspension system. This innovative pendulum design uses gravity to provide therestoring force after horizontal disturbances. Horizontaloscillations at the system’s resonant frequency are damped bylinking the base of the vertical isolator to the outer cylinderwith an oil-free, vibration-absorbing damper.

*Performance values were measured supporting a 1.25m x 2.5m x 310mm (4' x 8' x 12.2")table. Heavier tables or loads will have a lower vertical resonant frequency, highertransmissibility at resonance, and lower transmissibility at 10Hz.

Thorlabs' Non-Magnetic Standard Series optical tables are a cost-effective choice for general purpose applications. These tables utilizesimilar construction techniques and the same high-quality materials as the Performance and Ultra Series. The Standard Series has a singlehigh-demsity aluminum core and provides broadband damping, leading to a dynamicrigidity and stiffness that outperforms other cost-competitive tabletops.
The Standard Series tabletops are ideally suited for less demanding general photonicsapplications, such as general spectroscopy and multimode fiber optic setups. They arealso good for micro-positioning and non-interferometric applications.

■ Active Isolators Provide Unsurpassed Vertical and HorizontalIsolation
■ These Have an Extremely Low Resonant Frequency and VeryFast Settling Time
■ Isolators Are Self Leveling for Constant Height■ Non-Magnetic Construction for Use with Non-Magnetic
Tabletops
These active, non-magnetic, self-leveling vibration isolators offer thehighest performance of any pneumatic isolator, combining extremelylow transmissibility with excellent low frequency performance.
Vertical vibration is the most obvious factor that effects opticalexperiments; however, significant horizontal vibration is oftenencountered in laboratories on upper floors of buildings. Applicationsthat demand extreme stability, such as interferometry, holography,and nanopositioning, require both vertical and horizontal isolation.
The self-leveling isolators are large-diameter, free-standing systemsthat provide maximum stability and safety, without cumbersome tiebars. The low vertical and horizontal transmissibility of these isolatorsresults in the least possible relative tabletop motion. Our proprietarydesign doesn't use liquids, which could leak or degrade over time.
Self-Leveling SystemTo allow for changes in load distribution, these isolators also feature a self-leveling system that incorporates precision three-way valves thatdo not compromise vertical isolation when the system is at rest.Because these valves are actuated by tabletop movement, the systemreturns to its original level position within ±0.25mm (0.01") afterdisturbances. The valves also automatically compensate for anychanges in tabletop load distribution.
Additionally, this system allows the table height to be adjusted over a range of 26mm (1.02") and can be used to compensate for anuneven floor. The isolators require a constant supply of air. When theair supply is removed, the tabletop rests securely on top of the legswith the isolation system disabled.

Active Isolation TechnologyVertical Damping is achieved by using a dual-chamber dampedpneumatic spring. The table is supported by the air pressure inthese chambers. A piston, clamped to the bottom of the table, issealed to the upper chamber with a rolling rubber diaphragm,allowing virtually friction-free motion between piston and chamber.Floor or tabletop motion forces air to flow from one chamber tothe other through a high resistance damper. This restriction ofairflow dampens oscillatory motion between the floor and table,dramatically reducing settling time. The volume ratioof the chambers has been optimized to maximize dampingperformance for our complete range of tabletops while preservinga low resonant frequency.
Horizontal Damping is accomplished by supporting thepneumatic vertical isolator on a trifilar suspension system. Thisinnovative pendulum design uses gravity to provide the restoringforce after horizontal disturbances. Horizontal oscillations at thesystem’s resonant frequency are damped by linking the base of thevertical isolator to the outer cylinder with an oil-free vibrationabsorbing damper.

Many environments and applications donot warrant vibration isolation. In suchcases, it is only necessary to have a non-isolating support structure. Thorlabs’ rigidisolation systems are economical supportstructures and are strong enough tosupport an optical table under heavy load.
Thorlabs offers large-diameter, free-standing, non-isolating supports designedto support tabletops without cumbersome tie bars. Each non-isolating support has three adjustmentscrews which can be used to level or to adjust the table height over a 21mm (0.85") range using an open-end wrench.The set of four non-isolating supports have a 2500kg (5500lbs) load capacity. They are available in twostandard heights (600mm and 700mm, 24" and 28") to allow any table surface to be supported at astandard 910mm (36") height. Special heights are available upon request.
