The CT-10 low-profile passive vibration isolation platform

The Compact Tabletop (CT-10) utilizes Minus K's unique breakthrough technology to provide superior performance in a compact isolation platform measuring 2.7 inches tall, 12.6 inches deep, and wide. This unit, similar in height to Minus K's CT-2, provides comparable horizontal performance and extends payload range for smaller instruments.

This passive mechanical isolator performs 10–100 times better than a full-size air table. It accomplishes this without using air or electricity.

This vibration isolation platform is simple to use and features a unique 0.5 Hz vertical natural frequency and ~1.5 Hz horizontal natural frequency. With its trademark 0.5 Hz vertical natural frequency and about 1.5 Hz horizontal natural frequency, this vibration isolation platform is incredibly user-friendly. Just two modifications are needed. All kinds of benchtop microscopes work well with the CT-10.

With this performance, it is the thinnest, most portable, and easiest-to-use isolater ever made.

Model Payload Range
10CT-10 1 - 11 lb (.5 - 5 kg)
25CT-10 11 - 28 lb (5 - 12.7 kg)
50CT-10 34 - 55 lb (15.43 - 25 kg)
75CT-10 48 - 78 lb (21.8 - 35.4 kg)
100CT-10 77 - 105 lb (35 - 47.7 kg)
Performance
  • Horizontal frequencies are weight-dependent.
  • Horizontal frequency of ~1.5 Hz is achieved at or near the upper limits of the payload range.
  • At the lower payload weights, the horizontal frequency will increase.
  • Vertical frequency is tunable to 0.5 Hz throughout the payload range.
