Patent ID: 8282087

Claim:
An oscillation decoupling device with at least one load-receiving element connected to at least one elastically deformable unit in an active direction of a load which is mounted to oscillate relative to a support unit at least along the active direction along which at least part of the load is applied, and at least one sensor for detecting the oscillation of the element due to the load and at least one actuator for opposing an oscillation of the at least one load-receiving element, wherein the least one actuator is coupled to the at least one elastically deformable unit, so that the at least one actuator initiates a deformation inside the at least one elastically deformable unit acting against an elastic deformation caused by the load comprising: a modular housing enclosing the at least one elastically deformable unit wherein the modular housing, the at least one elastically deformable unit and the at least one load-receiving element comprises an actuator module including a mechanical coupling to at least one other actuator module for combining at least two actuator modules stacked together to be in series, wherein elastically deformable units of at least two actuator modules are connected together to actively interact with each other to oppose the oscillation and either a) load-receiving elements of a plurality of actuator modules are connected to each other, or a single load-receiving element is provided with the at least one elastically deformable unit of each actuator module mechanically connected in parallel to each other; or b) each load-receiving element of a plurality of actuator modules are connected separately to the at least one elastically deformable unit of each actuator module so that the elastically deformable units of a plurality of actuator modules are deflectable in series; a modular electronic unit for providing at least one of an energy supply, signal control or evaluation of the at least one sensor and at least one actuator, which is enclosed by an electronic module housing including at least one connection by which the electronic module housing is mechanically stacked to be in series with at least one of the combined actuator modules; and at least one electrical connection for contacting the at least one sensor and the at least one actuator to the modular electronic unit.
