Top researchers at over 200 leading universities and government labs have selected Minus K products to achieve the superior vibration control needed in their projects!
Minus K's Negative-Stiffness isolators Selected for James Webb Space Telescope Ground Testing
The University of Texas Center for Learning and Memory's transmission electron microscope (TEM) uses a custom Minus K negative-stiffness isolation platform.
The measurements below show the 1.2 to 2.5-Hz horizontal vibrations the equipment experienced in the fifth-floor lab before (left) and after (right) isolation with a 0.4-Hz negative-stiffness system.
