Illustration showing Stillpoint with Threaded Riser
The patented Stillpoints System consists of:
- Stillpoints
- Risers
- Mini Inverse Riser
- Hard Coat Mini nverse Riser (HCMIR)
- Delrin Mini Inverse Riser (DMIR)
The Stillpoints consist of an outer case (called the caylx due to its flower like petals that line the inner shell), two layers of ceramic balls, and a stainless steel pedestal. The Riser is an aluminum base with a tainless steel stud, which accepts the Stillpoint.
The system functions as a shock absorber for vibrations and resonances. The system redirects vertical vibrations into horizontal motion and absorbs it. Following the path of vibration from the top f the exposed ceramic ball, as the component is placed on the Stillpoint, the vibration contacts the ball (at 12 o'clock) and proceeds down the ball. Vibration exits the ball at a diagonal (4 or 7 o'clock). The weight of the component expands the second tier of balls, forcing them into the petals. The petals flex and counter the vibration, thereby absorbing it.
From a platform or shelf, vibration enters the bottom outer rim of the Riser, travels to the center of the Riser and traverses up the stud into the center of the pedestal. Finally, vibration travels across the pedestal to the outer edge into the ball/petal mechanism and is absorbed.
The system utilizes constrained layer damping techniques by assembling ceramic, Delrin, stainless steel, and aluminum materials. The system also provides for the leveling of components via the threaded Riser and studs.
Stillpoints heighten transparency, speed of transients, air, space, and dynamics, to name only a few attributes, to aid in a very natural presentation.
