Features
Stabilizer™ Vibration Isolation Technology
CM-225 Series Pneumatic isolators used in BT Series, featuring Stabilizer™ vibration isolation technology adapted from Newport's acclaimed Stabilizer Model S-2000 Vibration Isolators, are at the heart of the system. This technology is renowned for compact size, faster settling times, superior high-center-of-mass stability, lower natural frequency, and a patented, self-centering piston mechanism. It offers the largest compliance volume and, therefore, the best vertical isolation of any compact isolators.
Integrated Leveling Valves for Improved Repositioning Accuracy
| Formica Top (Chemical Resistant Laminate) | Stainless Steel Top | |
|---|---|---|
| Advantages | High chemical resistance Heat exposure up to 275°F Mid price |
Moderate to heavy duty High bacterial resistance Moderate chemical resistance Moderate corrosive resistance High fungal resistance High water and moisture resistance Continuous heat exposure above 1500 °F (may discolor at prolonged high temperatures) |
| Disadvantages | Light duty Low bacterial resistance Low corrosive resistance Low fungal resistance Low water and moisture resistance Low scratch resistance Can chip at seams and get surface cuts |
Low scratch resistance Dents easily on impact High price |
| Best Applications | Biology, chemistry, pathology, and immunology labs. Labs performing experiments and tests where results depend on non-contamination and require worksurfaces that are chemical resistant, decorative and hygienic. | Biological science, chemical, clean room, food testing, hospital, medical, and pharmaceutical labs. Labs performing experiments and tests where results depend on non-contamination, require worksurfaces that can handle high temperatures and are easily cleanable. |
Custom Working Surfaces
BenchTop Series is ideal for providing vibration isolation in applications involving time-lapse photography, video microscopy, probing, and manipulation of cells under high magnification. Standard catalog platforms come with 3 working surface options: a white plastic laminated surface, and stainless-steel tops with or without mounting holes. Please refer to the table below for the benefits of different working surface options.
- BT models: Laminate top
- BT-SSN models: Stainless steel top
- BT-SSH models: Stainless steel top with threaded holes
Cleanroom versions (BTC models) are also available as standard catalog products for all three working surface options.
Ergonomic Mechanical Design
No more bulky canisters to impede instrument access, restrict arm positioning or crowd workspaces. BT’s hybrid-chamber design allows all vibration modules to be completely hidden within the platform. The BenchTop also minimizes fatigue. That’s because its low profile design adds only about two inches of height to your support surface.
