STACIS Proves Efficient in High Magnetic Field Environments, Expanding Its Versatility in Scientific Applications

STACIS, the active vibration control system from TMC demonstrates versatility in its application as it proves compatible with high magnetic field environments. Built with primarily non-ferromagnetic components, it remains immune to potential interference from high magnetic fields, and vice versa, its operations do not emit magnetic fields that could disturb the functionality of surrounding equipment. This feature allows STACIS to be effectively used under instruments such as NMR spectrometers, which require high magnetic fields for their operations. However, while STACIS has proven operational in areas up to fifty gals, its performance in higher magnetic fields remains untested, leaving room for potential further exploration.

What if I bump into, or step on, a platform supported by STACIS, what happens? Wes Wigglesworth short answer: almost nothing. Thanks to the hard-mount active vibration control system in STACIS, the active control is downward looking, which means that it is measuring and cancelling floor vibration. In layman’s terms, that means you would need…
