A new vibration isolation system is proposed which uses zero-power magnetic suspension. Since a zero-power system behaves as if it has a negative stiffness, combining it with a normal spring can generate infinite stiffness against disturbances on the isolation table. It enables the system to have good performance both in reducing vibration transmitted from ground and in suppressing direct vibration. The basic characteristics of the proposed system are studied both analytically and experimentally.
