Abstract: A support device configured to support a first part relative to a second part, minimizing the transfer of vibration between the two parts, includes a supporting system configured to use gas under pressure to provide a support force between the first and second parts; a gas chamber connected to the supporting system and configured to contain the gas under pressure and provide the gas under pressure to the supporting system; and a section of acoustic damping material, arranged at a location within the gas chamber so as to separate a first gas containing region and a second gas containing region within the gas chamber, wherein the section of acoustic damping material has a first side and a second side, wherein the first gas containing region is on the first side and the second gas containing region is on the second side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vibration isolation system (VIS) comprising: —a base (10); —a coupling element (20) to be coupled to a vibration sensitive object; —a vibration isolator (30-34) arranged between the base and the coupling element; —a bellows (50) to be arranged between the VIS coupling element or the vibration isolator and a protective housing (40) surrounding the vibration sensitive object; and —one or more separate damping elements to act on convolutions of the bellows.
