The Active and the Passive isolation systems are both based on compressed air, providing vibration isolation in frequencies above 2Hz and 10Hz (respectively) making them ideal systems for demanding photonic experiments or for work in a noisy environment. In addition, Scientific Components also offers rigid support systems with no vibration isolation for less demanding applications which require only breadboard isolation. The table below compares the isolation performance of our different isolation systems.

Our frames fit metric/Imprical breadboards. These standard frames can support loads up to 700 kg (570 lb). The passive isolators are a static isolation system and do not require a constant air supply; therefore, our foot pump can be used to inflate the isolators.
