Abstract:
1. A vibration damping system, comprising: a cylinder having a first coupling joint, a second coupling joint, and a piston separating an upper chamber and a lower chamber; a first pressure regulator in communication with an air supply and the upper chamber to maintain a first pressure in the upper chamber; a second pressure regulator in communication with the air supply and the lower chamber to maintain a second pressure in the lower chamber; an upper accumulator capable of holding pressurized air in communication with the upper chamber; a lower accumulator capable of holding pressurized air in communication with the lower chamber; wherein the first coupling joint couples the cylinder to a frame, and the second coupling joint couples the cylinder to a basket connectable to a payload; and wherein an interaction of the piston with the first pressure in the upper chamber and the second pressure in the lower chamber isolates vibrations of the frame from the basket.
