= Mechanically isolated system
{wiki=Mechanically_isolated_system}
A mechanically isolated system refers to a physical system that is separated from external mechanical influences, such as forces or vibrations. This isolation can be achieved through various means, such as using vibration dampers, springs, or other mechanical structures designed to minimize the transfer of energy from environmental sources into the system. In practice, mechanical isolation is important in various fields, including: 1. **Engineering:** To protect sensitive equipment from vibrations that can affect performance or accuracy, such as in precision instruments and measurement devices.
