What Is A Damper in Vibration?

A damper in vibration is a device used to eliminate or neutralize vibrations in mechanical systems. It is usually used in power lines and structures, such as aviation, home appliances, buildings, etc., to prevent damage to the power system due to energy vibration. It protects equipment and extends its life by absorbing and dispersing vibration energy.

Vibration damping: Reduces vibration in mechanical systems and protects equipment from excessive vibration by absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. Effective damper prevents mechanical wear and damage caused by vibration, thereby extending the service life of your equipment.

But there are some shortcoming.

Unstable: The power of the damper is affected by temperature and wind. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the suitability of the damper.

When the pressure brought by the outside world causes the vibration frequency to be greater than the working frequency of the vibration damper, the vibration damper will not only fail to slow down the vibration, but will also aggravate the vibration and affect the component of power system.

Reason:This may result in increased costs, may require additional maintenance, and may have limited effectiveness in extreme environments. Additionally, they may affect the design complexity and space utilization of the system.

The uses of damper are varied and one can choose according to the purpose.
