THE SYSTEMDEK BEARING
The all-new Systemdek bearing assembly is a showcase of advanced engineering, designed to deliver silent, ultra-low friction rotation with unrivaled stability. Developed around four key performance areas, this system ensures class-leading performance in every aspect of analog playback:
Platter-to-Spindle Interface
A zero-tolerance taper fit between the stainless-steel shaft and platter ensures absolute concentrically and rigidity. This precision fit eliminates microscopic play, preserving timing accuracy and enhancing overall musical integrity.
Hydrostatic Bearing Film
The bearing operates with no surface contact, utilizing a synthetic fluid film within a PTFE-lined housing. This hydrostatic design delivers ultra-low friction and wear-free motion, creating a stable rotational environment immune to mechanical noise and degradation over time.
Magnetically Opposed Thrust Pad with Hydraulic Damping
The magnetically levitated bearing provides vertical support without physical contact, dramatically reducing vibration transmission. Coupled with hydraulic damping, this configuration absorbs any residual energy, resulting in smooth, controlled motion under load.
Silent Running
Every component has been engineered for absolute silence in operation, making the Systemdek bearing the ideal foundation for high-resolution vinyl playback. The synergy of contactless support, hydraulic control, and mechanical precision ensures a black background and stunning dynamic range.
A fusion of proven engineering principles and cutting-edge materials, the Systemdek bearing assembly delivers world-beating performance—refining analog reproduction to its purest form.
FEATURES
3-Point Mass-Loaded Suspension
The iconic SYSTEMDEK 3-point mass-loaded suspension isolates the sub-chassis, platter, and tonearm from external vibrations and structural resonance. By decoupling these critical components, the system blocks acoustic feedback and motor vibrations from affecting playback. The easily adjustable three-point design ensures even load distribution and self-stabilization while maintaining precise alignment, improving both tracking accuracy and channel separation.
Constrained-Layer Mass Damping (CLMD)
The REVOLUTION features an extremely stiff Richlite and birch layered plinth and sub-chassis construction, designed to minimize internal resonance. This structure also clamps the motor, effectively eliminating vibrations from the housing. Constrained-Layer Mass Damping (CLMD), which bonds multiple material layers with differing resonance properties, dissipates vibrations that could interfere with playback. This design reduces background noise, resulting in greater dynamic range and enhanced micro-detail retrieval from the vinyl surface.
Mechanically Adjustable Speed Control
The REVOLUTION offers mechanical speed adjustment of the AC motor for 33.3 and 45 RPM. The fine speed control allows precise tuning, which is then mechanically locked to guarantee reliable rotational accuracy. This ensures stable, repeatable performance with no electronic fluctuation affecting playback pitch.
External Power Supply Unit
The optional Systemdek External Power Supply Unit generates a perfect 50z sine wave at an optimized phase angle to ensure absolute speed stability and minimal motor vibration. 33.3 and 45 RPM can be selected electronically with precision.
High Inertia Delrin Platter
The Delrin platter is engineered for optimal rotational stability. Delrin, a high-density thermoplastic with low resonance characteristics, reduces energy storage and dissipation issues associated with metal or acrylic platters. The platter’s high mass and moment of inertia, in conjunction with a precision belt-drive system, creates a flywheel effect that ensures speed stability.
9 – 10 Inch Tonearm Compatibility
The REVOLUTION accommodates 9 – 10-inch tonearms, providing flexibility in system configuration. The mounting system allows precise alignment of different tonearm geometries, enabling optimization of tracking force, overhang, and azimuth. This adaptability ensures compatibility with a wide range of cartridges and tonearms, allowing users to tailor performance to their specific requirements.
