Abstract
A vibration damping system is provided for damping vibrations in an apparatus (1). The damping system is particularly useful in a servowriter (1). The damping system has resilient means (7) for supporting at least the majority of the weight of the apparatus (1). The resilient means (7) has a first spring rate. The damping system has damping means (8) for damping vibrations of the apparatus (1). The damping means (8) has an effective second spring rate. The ratio of the first spring rate to the effective second spring rate is r:1 where r<1.
