MICRO-VIBRATION CONTROL FOR YOUR MOST SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT
In cleanroom and high-tech environments, even the smallest vibration can affect precision, yield and reliability. Standard isolation solutions often introduce a hidden risk of their own metallic wear particles that contaminate sensitive electronics and surfaces.
The right isolation system removes both problems at once: stable, precise damping without compromising cleanliness.
Damping Solutions delivers protection for:
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
- High-tech assembly and precision systems
- Laboratory and research environments
- Pharmaceutical cleanrooms
✓ Contamination-free operation
Coated dampers eliminate metal-to-metal contact at the source, preventing the magnetic particle generation found in standard isolators.
✓ Precision stays precise
Controlled, stable damping behaviour protects sensitive equipment from micro-vibration without introducing instability of its own.
✓ Easy to clean, built for strict protocols
Smooth, sealed surfaces are designed for frequent cleaning procedures and strict cleanliness classifications.
✓ Procurement-ready documentation
Engineered and tested to the standards your facility's qualification or certification process requires.

CLEANROOM & PRECISION SOLUTIONS
Cleanroom Steel Dampers (CSD)
For contamination-controlled vibration isolation in high-tech environments
Cleanroom Steel Dampers are engineered for applications where strict cleanliness standards, mechanical reliability and stable vibration isolation are all required at once. They minimise contamination risks while maintaining consistent damping performance under operational load.
✓ Outgassing must be eliminated
✓ Strict cleanliness classifications apply
✓ Frequent cleaning procedures are required
✓ Long-term mechanical stability under load is essential
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
- High-tech assembly systems
- Precision positioning equipment
- Pharmaceutical cleanrooms
Coated Wire Rope Mounts (WRM-C)
For contamination-sensitive and corrosion-critical environments.
Standard wire rope dampers generate fine metallic wear particles under dynamic loading, particles confirmed to be magnetic and capable of penetrating sensitive electronics. Our coated variant eliminates this at the source with a functional thermoplastic coating on each individual wire strand.
✓ Electronics or instruments must remain free from metallic contamination
✓ Cleanroom-compatible performance is needed (Grade 4–7)
✓ Long-term reliability with minimal maintenance is required
✓ Systems have limited access for cleaning or inspection
- Cleanroom and high-tech environments
- Semiconductor and precision systems
- Sensitive electronics and communication equipment
- Long-lifecycle systems in controlled environments

How do you calculate the correct isolation system for your equipment?
Our in-house calculation & simulation software analyses spring and damper systems under your specific load and frequency conditions, in both time and frequency domains. The output is a validated engineering report that helps you select the right isolation concept, avoid resonance issues and protect contamination control from the start.
Frequently asked questions by clients in cleanroom and high tech:
Standard stainless steel dampers can generate fine metallic wear particles under dynamic loading due to internal friction between components. Testing in our ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory confirmed that these particles are magnetic, meaning they can easily penetrate sensitive electronics and adhere to circuit boards. For cleanroom and high-tech applications, we recommend our coated Wire Rope Mounts or Cleanroom Steel Dampers, which are specifically engineered to eliminate metal-to-metal contact at the source and prevent particle generation entirely.
Our coated products, including the Coated Wire Rope Mount and Cleanroom Steel Damper, are suitable for Grade 4–7 Clean Room environments. The thermoplastic coating used on our Wire Rope Mounts has been tested for long-term durability, with no degradation or cracking observed after 5 years in service, and the surfaces are designed to be easy to clean for frequent decontamination procedures.
Precision equipment requires isolation systems that respond predictably and consistently, without introducing instability of their own. Our products are engineered using in-house calculation and simulation software, which analyses the specific mass, frequency and load characteristics of your equipment to determine the correct stiffness and damping configuration. This ensures vibration is controlled across the relevant frequency range without compromising the precision the equipment depends on.
Yes. Our coated products are designed with smooth, sealed surfaces that are easy to clean and resistant to the chemicals typically used in cleanroom decontamination protocols, including dilute acids, alkalis and industrial cleaning agents. This makes them well suited for environments where frequent or strict cleaning procedures are part of standard operations.
Selection depends on the mass of your equipment, its sensitivity to vibration, the operating frequency range, and the cleanliness requirements of your facility. Our engineering team uses in-house calculation and simulation software to determine the correct configuration and can advise on whether a Cleanroom Steel Damper or Coated Wire Rope Mount is the better fit for your specific application. If real-world vibration data is not yet available, our Field Measurement & Data Logging service can record actual conditions on-site to inform the calculation.
Don't have operational load data yet?
When real-world vibration levels in your cleanroom or high-tech facility are unknown, our Field Measurement & Data Logging (FMD) service records conditions directly on-site. Measured data is converted into load cases, so your team can select the right isolation concept with certainty without risking contamination or downtime from trial and error.
Typical applications:
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
- High-tech assembly and precision systems
- Cleanroom production lines
- Facilities with unexplained micro-vibration issues
