A nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus includes a nuclear magnetic
resonance device for elucidating atomic configuration and molecular
structure of a substance based on a decay signal of induced electromotive
force caused by resonance precession of nuclear magnetic moment induced
by irradiation of electro-magnetic pulses in an RF region when the
substance is exposed to a strong magnetic field, and a vibration
isolation mechanism for suppressing vibrations. The vibration isolation
mechanism has, as an actuator, an air spring connected to a pressurized
air source via an electro-pneumatic converter and acting to exert a force
for vibration isolation on the nuclear magnetic resonance device. The
vibration isolation mechanism is capable of active vibration isolation,
and disposed away from the nuclear magnetic resonance device by such a
distance that the electro-pneumatic converter never incurs any
malfunctions or operating failures under influence of a magnetic field
generated by the nuclear magnetic resonance device.
