Vibration Absorbers

Key Features and Functions:

  1. Resilient Materials: Vibration absorbers are constructed from resilient materials such as rubber, elastomers, neoprene, silicone, or viscoelastic compounds that exhibit high damping properties and energy absorption capabilities. These materials absorb mechanical vibrations and convert kinetic energy into heat, reducing vibration amplitudes and preventing resonance.
  2. Tuned Mass Damper Systems: Some vibration absorbers employ tuned mass damper systems, consisting of a mass-spring-damper assembly designed to resonate at specific frequencies corresponding to the natural frequencies of the vibrating system. By introducing additional mass and damping, tuned mass damper systems effectively mitigate resonant vibrations and minimize structural vibrations in buildings, bridges, towers, and other structures.
  3. Passive and Active Damping: Vibration absorbers may operate as passive or active damping systems, depending on their design and application requirements. Passive damping systems absorb and dissipate vibrational energy without external power or control, while active damping systems incorporate sensors, actuators, and control algorithms to actively counteract vibrations in real-time.
  4. Isolation and Decoupling: Vibration absorbers isolate and decouple vibrating machinery, equipment, and structures from their surroundings, preventing the transmission of vibrations to adjacent structures, floors, and building occupants. Isolation techniques include resilient mounts, isolation pads, and vibration isolators that absorb and dissipate vibrational energy before it reaches sensitive areas.

Vibration absorbers, also known as shock absorbers or dampeners, are specialized devices designed to mitigate and dampen mechanical vibrations, shocks, and oscillations generated by machinery, equipment, and structures. These absorbers are utilized in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and residential applications to reduce noise, prevent structural damage, and improve equipment performance and longevity by absorbing and dissipating vibrational energy.
