Systems are provided for damping vibrations from a payload. In an embodiment, and by way of example only, the system includes an isolation strut and a gas line. The isolation strut includes a bellows and a piston. The bellows has a first end and a second end, the first end being enclosed, and the second end attached to the piston to define a chamber. The piston includes a damping annulus therethrough having a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The gas inlet provides flow communication to the chamber of the bellows. The gas line is coupled to the isolation strut and is in fluid communication with the gas outlet thereof. The system is hermetically sealed to contain a gas therein.
