In order to decrease the transmission of vibration and achieve the attenuation of the vibration magnitude of an isolated object, a new type of permanent and electromagnet composite vibration isolation system is designed based on negative stiffness theory. Firstly, according to the characteristic analysis, the design of a permanent and electromagnet hybrid actuator is accomplished; secondly, the vibration isolation system model is established, and the active control strategy based on the fuzzy PID algorithm is designed. Finally, a test platform is built to verify the vibration isolation effect. The results indicate that the developed permanent and electromagnet composite vibration isolation system renders the sharp attenuation of external vibration in multiple frequency bands. When the external vibration frequency is within the frequency range of 20 Hz to 100 Hz, the vibration attenuation is greater than 80%; when the external vibration frequency is within the frequency range of 100 Hz to 500 Hz, the vibration attenuation rate is greater than 90%.
