A novel lever-type vibration isolator with eddy current damping

This study proposes a lever-type vibration isolator with eddy current damping (LVI-ECD), which can broaden the isolation band by adjusting the lever ratio and improve the vibration suppression performance with eddy current damping (ECD). The LVI-ECD composes of a lever with a permanent magnet (PM) at the tip of the lever, a load plate, a base plate and springs, etc. The relative motion between the PM and the conductive base and load plates...
