Payload/STACIS
Interface
In some instances, the payload can be installed directly on the top surface of the Isolators. This is
determined during the vibration survey and engineering analysis discussed in 2.2, or through information
supplied to TMC. If the payload has more than four points of support, or if the support points do not
completely cover the top surface of each Isolator, an interface plate will be needed. Some suggested
configurations are shown in Figure 5.

Earthquake Restraints
In certain areas of the world that are prone to earthquakes, the STACIS
system can be provided with the
necessary restraints to minimize or prevent damage to the system and its payload. Contact TMC for
details.

Isolator Orientation and Cable Connections
STACIS
2100 can also be used as a platform for producing controlled vibration (a shaking platform). For
this function to work properly, the isolators need to be installed in a specific orientation with respect to
each other. This is shown for three and four isolator systems below:
•
If using non-adjustable spacers, a bottle jack or jack stand is needed to slightly off-
load and remove the spacers.
•
Professional rigging is recommended
