Product Description
Apex is the world's most advanced dual-purpose vibration isolation interface. Apex employs hand-laminated carbon composites for the outer skin and core/base and high-pressure cures them in a dedicated vacuum environment. It then decouples these structural composite elements via a proprietary hi-tech polymer which is co-developed with aerospace applications and materials sciences engineers. With its ball-bearing tip, Apex can be used as a component footer or become the floor-to-column interface of GPA and other equipment isolation supports. The unique cup/ball geometry utterly avoids the frustrating instability that plagues other bearing-based designs which cause supported components to wobble and move when barely touched. Threaded "knuckle" adjuster/levelers securely surround the ball bearing with a polished stainless steel cup.
By replacing a stand's fixed spikes and adding an additional two degrees of horizontal freedom, Apex generates very remarkable performance enhancements without introducing any unsteadiness of the main structure.
The stock 3/8-16 thread, .875 diameter, 2-inch long leveler fits the Monaco Modular, Le Mans, Monza, Laguna, and Monaco Amplifer Isolation Systems and allows 0.625" of height adjustment via keyed thru-holes. Sizes for non-GPA supports are also available.
