INTERCHANGEABLE FILTER SYSTEMS
We developed dual-zone 12-stage damping systems for our Ultra-Platinum, Ultra-Diamond, MAXXUM-Ultra and OLYMPUS-Ultra filters. None are identical. Each is designed to function exclusively with its associated architecture and damped in accord to tolerances of 1 to 10 thousandths of an inch. Inside each of the above-mentioned filters are 3 fixed damping plates. These are located on the base plate of the filter, the resting area of the filter upon which the component is placed and on the interior plate below the resting area of the filter. The remaining 8 internal damping stages are arranged 4 zones below and 4 zones above an elastomer. The elastomer, of course, serves to lower natural frequency. Each of the 8 internal damping stages are precisely calculated thicknesses of aluminum alloy and acrylic damping materials or precisely calculated thicknesses of aluminum alloy, copper alloy and acrylic damping material. There is an important reason why we use very specific metal alloys, elastomers and acrylic damping materials.

Made in U.S.A / Design based on Physics / Patented Technology / Vibration Mitigation
It’s not “isolation” – its “vibration mitigation”.
Critical Mass System are designed as vibration mitigation devices, where both vibration kinetic energy sources – floor vibration and surface vibration of equipment are transferred and dissapated into the damping systems in CMS filter shelves, completely neutralized the vibration effects.
