The present disclosure provides vibratory compactor comprising an active isolation apparatus for reducing a vibration generated during the rotation of an eccentric shaft having an eccentric weight attached thereto. The active isolation apparatus comprises a drum, a propulsion motor configured to rotate the drum, a drive plate disposed between the propulsion motor and the drum in such a way as to be connected to the propulsion motor to transmit a rotating force to the drum, and a drum support configured to rotatably support the drum. The active isolation apparatus further comprises a first active isolation mass disposed between the drum support and the drum, a second active isolation mass disposed between the drive plate and the drum, an eccentric shaft configured to be rotated while penetrating through the first active isolation mass, the drum, and the second active isolation mass, a primary eccentric weight attached to the eccentric shaft inside the drum, an active isolation eccentric weight attached to each of the eccentric shaft inside the first active isolation mass and the second active isolation mass, and a vibration motor configured to rotate the eccentric shaft. In accordance with the active isolation apparatus of the present disclosure, when the eccentric shaft is rotated, a phase of a vibration generated by the active isolation eccentric weights is opposite to that of a vibration generated by the primary eccentric weight, and the vibration generated by the active isolation eccentric weights cancels the vibration generated by the primary eccentric weight.
