Passive Anti-Vibration Frame
  85% Damping of Vibrations
  Isolators Do Not Require an External Source of Compressed Air
  Easy to Relocate with Optional Casters
  Welded Steel Frame (No Assembly Required)
  Load Capacity: 50 to 570 lbs (24 to 260 kg)

Passive ScienceDesk Frames isolate a work surface from the vibrations present in a noisy environment and are ideal for vibration sensitive applications located in a laboratory. These frames are frequently used for imaging applications with micron resolution. The pneumatic isolators on the passive desks do not require a constant air supply once inflated with a simple air pump (see last product group). See the Frame tab for more information.

• Excellent Surface Flatness up to ±0.1 mm over any 0.3 m²
• Athermalized Design for Excellent Thermal Stability
• Dual Layer, Honeycombed Structure Provides Good Dampening
• 1/4"-20 Holes on 1" Center (Imperial)
  M6 Holes on 25 mm Center (Metric)

The PBH (Performance Series) tabletops are recommended for applications that do not require you to put sources of vibration on the tabletop. For more information see the Tabletop tab above.

  Locking Mechanism Prevents Unintentional Movement
  Max Load: 320 kg (704 lbs) (set of four)

Our Casters come in a set of four and attach to the bottom of a ScienceDesk frame to convert the ScienceDesk into a mobile workstation. Once the ScienceDesk is in your desired location, feet can be lowered on each leg of the frame to provide a stable work environment. The Casters feature a locking mechanism to prevent inadvertent movement when the frame's feet are not lowered. If Casters are ordered at the same time as a ScienceDesk, they will be fitted to the frame before shipment.

Instrument Shelf (PSY191 and PSY192)

• 300 mm x 278 mm (11.8" x 10.9") and 300 mm x 500 mm (11.8" x 19.7") Shelf Sizes
• Max Load: 20 kg (44 lbs)
• PSY191 and PSY192 Include 750 mm (29.5") Post
• PSY191/S and PSY192/S can be Fitted Without Removing Post

The post of the instrument shelf assembly mounts to the upper rails (excluding the front rail) of the ScienceDesk bases. The PSY191 shelf unit measures 300 mm x 278 mm (11.8" x 10.9") while the PSY192 measures 300 mm x 500 mm (11.8" x 19.7"). If more shelf space is required, the PSY191/S and PSY192/S additional shelf units can be mounted to the same post. The split-clamp design allows the shelf to be fitted anywhere on the post without removing the existing shelf.

Overhead Shelf (PSY211)

• 900 mm Wide
• 300 mm (11.8") Shelf Depth
• Max Load: 50 kg (110 lbs
• Two 750 mm (29.5") High Posts Included

The PSY211 Overhead Shelf spans the width of the ScienceDesk and is supported by two 750 mm (29.5") high posts (included). The shelf slides along the posts to set the height above the working surface. As seen in the image to the right, two shelves can be mounted on a single set of supporting posts. To purchase an additional shelf (support posts not included), select a PSY201/S shelf unit to go with the PSY211 unit.

Side Shelf (PSY352)

• 600 mm X 600 mm (23.6" X 23.6") Shelf Size
• Mounts on Either Side of the Frame on the Upper Rail
• Does Not Interfere With the Mounting of Other Upper Rail Accessories
• Max Load: 50 kg (110 lbs)

Computer Shelf (PSY180)

• 260 mm x 450 mm (10.2" x 17.7") Shelf Size
• Mounts on the Either Side of the Frame on the Lower Rail
• Max Load: 20 kg (44 lbs)

  Not in Contact with Tabletop
  Max Load: 15 kg (33 lbs)

The preparation shelf rests on the upper rails of the ScienceDesk, creating usable workspace next to an imaging sytem without disturbing the isolated tabletop. The shelf can be easily repositioned by sliding it along the frame.

  Keeps Arms Elevated Above Tabletop
  Padded for Comfort

The ergonomic Wrist Rest, designed to provide the optimum height and angle for adjusting nanopositioning stages, enables operators to perform delicate instrument adjustments with higher accuracy and lower fatigue. The Wrist Rest is adjustable and mounts to the upper front bar of the ScienceDesk frame. The padded portion of the Wrist Rest is molded foam to provide extra comfort for the user. The Wrist Rest comes complete with mounting studs and locking bolts.

  Compatible with 75 mm x 75 mm and 100 mm x 100 mm VESA Patterns
  Mounts to a Ø1.5" Post (Not Included)

The PSY121 flat screen support bracket is compatible with 75 mm x 75 mm and 100 mm x 100 mm VESA mounting patterns. These mounting patterns are typically used on small to medium LCD displays. It has articulated arms which allow for more flexible positioning.

A Ø1.5" post must be used with these mounts and is not included. An acceptable post is our PSY161 (below). A post from an Overhead Shelf or Instrument Shelf may also be used.

  Articulating Arm Keyboard and Mouse Holder
  Includes Wrist Rest
  Attaches to ScienceDesk Frame

The frame-mounted Keyboard Holder is suitable for most keyboards and mouse pads. It fixes to the side rails and provides 360° horizontal positioning and vertical adjustment

  Length: 750 mm (29.5") and 1000 mm (39.4")
  Ideal for Monitor Mount or P-Post Accessories
  M16 Bolt Attaches to Outside Rails of ScienceDesk

These posts are available in lengths of 750 mm or 1000 mm (29.5" and 39.4") and are compatible with our monitor mounts. Note that 750 mm long posts are included with the Overhead and Instrument Shelves.

The TA2 Post Adapter allows a Ø1.5" ScienceDesk post to be fitted to an optical table or breadboard. With this adapter, post-mounted ScienceDesk accessories such as monitor mounts, keyboard rests, and shelves can compliment nearly any standard breadboard or table, increasing usable workspace.

The adapter features elongated slots and is supplied with a replacement post stud, together with M6 and 1/4"-20 bolts to fit to either metric or imperial work surfaces. Two adapters are necessary to attach the two posts required for fitting an overhead shelf unit. The adapter is fitted to the ScienceDesk posts via an M16 counterbore.
