The flexible pads are called base-isolators, whereas the structures protected by means of these devices are called base-isolated buildings. The main feature of the base isolation technology is that it introduces flexibility in the structure.
Our stock frames fit metric breadboards up to 900 mm x 1200 mm (or imperial breadboards up to 36 x 48). These frames can support loads up to 260 kg (570 lb). The passive isolators are a static isolation system and do not require a constant air supply; therefore, our foot pump can be used to inflate the isolators.
