MINUS K
Minus K® Technology, Inc. was founded in 1993 to develop, manufacture and market our state-of-the-art vibration isolation products based on our patented negative-stiffness technology. Minus K® is based in the Los Angeles area.
NEW CT-10
New CT-10 ultra-slim, low-height compact benchtop vibration isolation platform. The compact benchtop platform (CT-10) utilizes Minus K’s innovative patented technology, allowing for the best performance on the market in an isolation platform that is only 2.7 inches tall. The CT-10 offers our signature vertical natural frequency of 0.5 Hz and a horizontal natural frequency of ~1.5 Hz. This is the smallest, thinnest, most portable, and easiest-to-use isolator ever offered, capable of delivering this performance, and without the need for air or power.
NEW CT-2
The Compact Tabletop (CT-2) utilizes Minus K’s innovative patented technology, allowing for the best performance on the market in an isolation platform that is only 2.5 inches tall. This unit is the successor to the CT-1 and offers improved horizontal performance with additional loading ranges for heavier instruments. The CT-2 offers our signature vertical natural frequency of 0.5 Hz and a horizontal natural frequency of ~1.5 Hz. This is the thinnest, most portable, and easiest to use isolator ever offered that is capable of this performance and requires no air or power.

NEW LC-4
LC-4 Ultra-Compact Vibration Isolators
The new LC-4 from Minus K is an ultra-compact, low-frequency negative-stiffness isolator. It comes in two configurations: our low-performance 1.5 Hz horizontal or our ultra-low-frequency 0.5 Hz horizontal. Both configurations offer our signature 0.5 Hz vertical natural frequency. LC-4 isolators can be combined into multiple isolator systems to support heavier payloads while taking up very little space. The isolators are passive, manually adjustable, and do not require air or electricity.
New CM-1
NEW CM-1 High Capacity Compact Vibration Isolator, The new CM-1 is a compact, high capacity, low frequency isolator with negative stiffness. Like all Minus K isolators, they are completely passive, using no air or electricity. Isolators can be combined into multiple isolator systems to support heavy loads while taking up very little space. CM-1 isolators can be placed on pedestals to bring them to a suitable height to fit your existing air table, allowing you to maintain your current table surface and achieve much better isolation.
SM-1
The SM-1 negative stiffness isolator is the basic component of the FP-1 floor platform and other heavy duty multiple isolator systems. They require no air or power. This isolator has the same basic features as our fully passive, negative stiffness, manually adjustable tabletop isolators. It offers our very low frequency isolation performance for payloads of many thousands of pounds. The SM-1 isolator can be used alone or with any number of additional units to achieve higher capacity systems.
MK52
The MK52 Series Vibration Control Optical Table, with enhanced ergonomic comfort, is specifically designed for ultra-low natural frequency applications. The system uses Minus K's patented negative stiffness vibration isolators to provide a compact, passive optical table with ultra-low natural frequencies, higher internal structural frequencies, and excellent vertical and horizontal isolation efficiencies. And it does so without air or electricity! The best choice for large applications requiring high resolution.

MK26
The MK26 Series Vibration Control Workstation with enhanced ergonomic comfort is specifically designed for ultra-low natural frequency applications. The system utilizes MinusK’s patented negative stiffness vibration isolators to provide a compact, passive vibration isolation workstation with ultra-low natural frequencies, higher internal structural frequencies, and excellent vertical and horizontal isolation efficiencies. It has also been enhanced to provide greater user comfort.
BM-10
The BM-10 tabletop vibration isolation platform offers 10 to 100 times better performance than a full-size air table in a package that is only 4.6 inches tall and 12 inches wide and deep. And it does it without air or electricity! This vibration isolation platform is extremely easy to use and offers extreme performance. It offers a horizontal natural frequency of 1.5 Hz and our signature vertical natural frequency of 0.5 Hz. There are only two settings.
BM-8
The BM-8 tabletop platform offers 10 to 100 times better performance than a full-size air table in a package that is only 4.6 inches tall – and without air or electricity! This vibration isolation platform is extremely easy to use and offers extreme performance. It offers a horizontal natural frequency of 1.5 Hz or lower and our signature vertical natural frequency of 0.5 Hz. There are only two settings. They can also be made cleanroom and vacuum compatible.
BM-6
The BM-6 tabletop vibration isolation platform offers better performance than a full-size air table in a package that is only 4.6 inches tall – and without air! This vibration isolation platform reaches a new price point and is extremely easy to use. It offers a horizontal natural frequency of 1.5 Hz and a vertical natural frequency of 2.5 Hz. There is only one setting. No air or electricity required.

BM-4
The most cost-effective benchtop platform capable of delivering 1/2 Hz performance in both vertical and horizontal. And it does so without the need for air or electricity! They can also be manufactured for cleanroom and vacuum use.
BM-1
Our highest capacity benchtop isolator. A cost effective product for loads up to 1000 lbs and 1/2 Hz performance in both vertical and horizontal positions.
BA-1
Bench Top Isolation Vibration Platform, our highest capacity benchtop isolator. A cost effective product for loads up to 1000 lbs and 1/2 Hz performance in both vertical and horizontal positions.
FP-1a
The FP-1 consists of a large platform, two or three Minus K® SM-1 negative stiffness vibration isolators, stabilizers that connect the platform to the isolators, isolator floor, and lifting screw plates that help distribute the load on the floor and ballast weights.
