Convential vibration isolators are of "constant stiffness" i.e., the force vs. deflection curve is a straight line. It was proven both analytically and by numerous installations of vibration sensitive objects that if stiffness of each isolating mount is not proportional to the weight load on this mount, then intense vertical floor vibrations are transformed into intense horizontal vibrations of the object (machine), thus degrading the vibration isolation and requiring more expensive isolation mounts. This problem can be eliminated if vibration isolators are used, which have the characteristic that the stiffness increases proportionally with the load. Such vibration isolators are called the CONSTANT NATURAL FREQUENCY isolators.
