Modular, multifunctional vibration isolation systems – the Halcyonics Vario series consist of active vibration isolation elements and external controller exactly matched for these elements. Installation of a Vario system is exceptionally easy; the isolation elements are attached to the application and connected to the controller. The latter requires only an AC power output; no compressed air or other media are necessary. Automatic load adjustment settings and other functions are simply selected on the Vario controller using the convenient operating menu. After installation and selection of the settings, the Vario system does not require any further operator attendance or maintenance and can remain in the continuous operating state indefinitely. Thanks to automatic load adjustment, Halcyonics Vario units allow a wide load range of 0 – 360 kg (0 – 794 lbs) with just one version – this offers good flexibility also for future applications.

Halcyonics Vario – the versatile solution for various applications

Halcyonics offers three different element lengths (Vario 45, 60 and 90). Each element has a maximum load capacity of 180 kg (397 lbs). A standard Vario system can thus handle up to 360 kg (794 lbs). The isolation effect of the Vario elements starts right at 1 Hz and, above 10 Hz, attains more than 35 dB (98,2 %). Vario elements are always used in pairs; each matched pair must be operated in parallel alignment with respect to one another. A major advantage of Halcyonics active systems is that they eliminate interfering natural low-frequency resonance that is generated by passive systems. The latter systems have a more or less marked natural resonance, typically in the range from 1 to 4 Hz. These passive systems cannot suppress vibration in this frequency range, rather they typically increase it. Compared with passive systems, Halcyonics active systems deliver excellent vibration isolation characteristics right at exceptionally low frequencies of 2-3 Hz. They actively isolate vibration for all the 6 existing degrees of freedom.
