Visco-Elastic Dampers
Viscoelastic Technology for Reliable Emergency Stops
Our viscoelastic shock absorbers offer robust, maintenance-free solutions specifically engineered for emergency stop systems in heavy industrial environments.
These compact units are easy to integrate into both new and existing setups, delivering outstanding energy absorption performance with optimized stroke lengths. Their efficient design ensures maximum protection of equipment during high-impact events, reducing the risk of damage and downtime.
Built to minimize noise, vibration, and mechanical wear, our shock absorbers contribute to safer, quieter operations and extended service life of surrounding components. Their straightforward installation and reliability make them ideal for demanding applications across sectors such as manufacturing, material handling, and heavy machinery.
Each unit is designed with durability and adaptability in mind. For specialized needs, we also offer custom-engineered solutions—providing flexibility to meet unique application requirements while maintaining consistent performance and peace of mind.
Viscoelastic Damper Performance Overview
The graph illustrates our viscoelastic damper's performance under cyclic loading. The orange hysteresis loop represents energy dissipation: the larger the loop, the greater the energy dissipated, which is crucial for reducing vibrations and controlling motion.
Key performance indicators from the graph include:
-
Fmax: The maximum force experienced by the damper during the cycle.
-
Fin: The force at the start of the inward stroke.
-
Fr: The residual force at the end of the outward stroke.
Key Results and Performance Highlights:
-
Effective Energy Dissipation: The large hysteresis loop indicates high energy dissipation for efficient vibration control.
-
Force-Displacement Relationship: Loop shape shows reaction force vs. displacement, indicating stiffness and damping.
-
Maximum Force Control: Fmax indicates capacity to handle peak forces, ensuring structural integrity.
-
Hysteresis Shape: Indicates viscoelastic nature.
