These TMC high-performance vibration isolation workstations provide an excellent vibration-free working surface for balanced loads up to 500 lbs. (227 kg). Now with modular construction, these tables are recommended for use in such diverse applications as electrophysiology, cell injection, ultramicrotomy, photomicroscopy, scanning tunnel microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Gimbal Piston Isolators
The TMC patented Gimbal Piston Isolator has been proven by independent tests to consistently outperform the competition. It achieves both horizontal and vertical isolation down to very low input levels.
Thin-Wall Rolling Diaphragms
The TMC patented Gimbal Piston Isolator has been proven by independent tests to consistently outperform the competition. It achieves both horizontal and vertical isolation down to very low input levels.
All-Brass Height Control Valves
All systems are equipped with rugged all-brass height control valves. Virtually unbreakable, they are finger adjustable with no need for tools. The standard model maintains height to ± 0.050 in. (±1 mm.)
Internal Piston Travel Restraint
Unique in the industry, TMC provides husky, tamperproof, built-in piston travel restraints. The restraints are completely independent of the table valves and have been ram-tested at forces above those produced by the pistons operating at full pressure. They cannot be decoupled accidentally and do not interfere with setting up and using the table, but simply protect against overtravel without the use of external bars that create hazardous pinch points. Heavy loads, including the top plate, can be safely removed from a table in full operation.
Tiebar Gussets
Exclusive TMC tiebar gussets increase table frame rigidity. They compensate for the elimination of the front tiebar in order to provide kneewell space.
Rugged Built-in Leveling Feet
Table legs include built-in fine-thread 3 in. (75 mm) diameter screw jack levelers with .5 in. (13 mm) travel, provision for external adjustment and a handy adjustment wrench. The base is a solid, slightly domed shape to assure solid, wobble-free contact with sloping or irregular floors.
Superior Table Tops
Our standard laminated tops provide an attractive stainless steel ferromagnetic working surface with highly damped, high stiffness construction at low cost. For applications requiring the ultimate stiffness and damping or mounting holes, specify our patented CleanTop® II honeycomb top.

Which Top Is Best for You?
Stainless steel laminate, the least expensive top, is recommended for applications that require a strong magnetic attachment and will not involve repeated exposure of the top to corrosive liquids. However, stains from such liquids can be removed with an industrial strength stainless steel cleaner. This top does not have the precision flatness of our CleanTop II honeycomb top.
Plastic laminate on stainless steel offers an easy-to clean alternative to stainless steel without sacrificing structural performance. A plastic laminate is added to the top surface, which reduces ferromagnetic attachment strength.
CleanTop II features TMC's patented spill-proof, drilled and tapped mounting hole array. Tops are 4" (100 mm) thick and have 1/2-20 holes on 1" (25 mm) spacing or M6 holes on 25 mm spacing. The small cell-size steel honeycomb design provides even stiffer and better damping than our stainless steel laminate.

Armrests and Sliding Shelves
Tables may be fitted with armrests and rigidly supported sliding side shelves just above the table top. The sliding shelves must be used in conjunction with a front support bar and a rear support bar that are fastened to the table legs. The bars can be retrofitted.

Support Bars
The adjustable steel rail known as the front support bar mounts on the table's front legs. It has a slot in which the shelves mount and is normally ordered with the armrests. The rear support bar similarly mounts on the rear table legs. Both bars can be centered or cantilevered
|
|
Casters
A set of four retractable casters with a total weight capacity of 1,000 lbs. (450 kg) can be mounted to the base of the table legs.
