Damper Design

Design SkillsMetaldyne has a vast experience in the application and design of viscous torsional vibration dampers on high, medium and low speed diesel engines. Further product applications can include transmission dampers for machine tools to prevent gear chatter, vehicle (truck, trams and bus) transmission dampers to prevent harshness and noise which contribute to passenger discomfort, and diesel engine camshaft dampers to limit the stresses on the camshaft due to its self imposed torsional vibration excitation.Customers are invited to contact Metaldyne where data requirements can be discussed and a detailed study of torsional vibration characteristics of the system will be conducted using the latest in-house computer programs. This is a specific requirement for large 2-stroke engines.
