Study of Systems of Active Vibration Protection of Navigation Instrument Equipment

Assessment of the influence of vibration isolator parameters on the distribution of the system’s natural frequencies is a significant task in the design of vibration isolation systems. The root method was used to determine the natural frequencies of the controlled vibration isolator. For a certain feedback structure of a controlled electrodynamic type vibration isolator, the need for a consistent selection of parameters has been justified. A mathematical solution has been proposed for the approximate determination of the roots of the characteristic equation of the controlled vibration isolator, which enables the analytical assessment of the influence of the vibration isolator parameters on the distribution of its natural frequencies. The research has been conducted in relative parameters, which makes it possible to generalize the results. The specificity of the inertial dynamic vibration isolator, which in some cases is associated with the implementation of anti-resonance conditions, can lead to the fact that resonant frequencies can occur on both sides of the tuning frequency of the vibration isolator. The use of an elastic suspension on flat springs to protect navigation equipment from vibration allows reduction in the intensity of translational vibration, while not changing the orientation of the device relative to the Earth. The implementation of an elastic suspension according to the scheme of the inverted pendulum allows an increase in the effectiveness of vibration isolation, under the conditions of a controlled change of the vibration isolator parameters and due to the use of feedback. The results of this research can be used in precision systems, such as vibration isolators, laser processing equipment, ultraprecision measurements or medical devices.
