Since 1969, when Newport began building the optical table to serve the young laser research market, Newport has consistently produced the finest optical tables in the world. Although competitors have tried to imitate Newport inventions, no one has built the same features, performance and quality into an optical table. The RS2000 Series of tuned damped optical tables is a culmination of many years of experience, innovation and attention to detail.
Providing 50% of the damping found on the RS4000 Series, the RS2000 matches the top of the line performance from competitive models. Indeed, the unmatched low frequency superiority of Newport vibration absorber tuned damping technology allows its larger sized tables to out perform all competitive models.
Our imperial unit optical tables have 1/4-20 mounting holes on a 1 in. grid. They are offereds in6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 ft. lengths and 8, 12, 18, and 24 in. thicknesses.
Our metric unit optical tables have M6 mounting holes on a 25 mm grid. They are offereds in1800, 2400, 3000, 3600, 4200, 4800, 5400 and 6000 mm lengths and 203, 305, 457 and610 mm thicknesses.
Complete you tuned damped optical table system with our S-2000 Stabilizer™ Series pneumatic vibration isolators with automatic re-leveling.

Static deflection guide for Newport tables. Maximum deflection values are plotted for the 4 ft (1.2 m) wide tables. Multiply values by 0.8 for 5 ft (1.5 m) wide tables.
Minimum frequency guide for any vibrational mode of Newport tables.
Approximate net weights (±10%) for 4 ft (1.2 m) wide steel tables. For 5 ft (1.5 m) wide models add 20%, for 3 ft (0.9 m) models, subtract 25%. Shipping weights can be estimated by adding 100–200 lbs (45–90 kg) for crate weight.
