THE BIRTH OF A REVOLUTIONARY VIBRATION ISOLATION TECHNOLOGY

THE BIRTH OF A REVOLUTIONARY VIBRATION ISOLATION TECHNOLOGY

Z-Damper is a vibration isolation system able to act as a dissipater and also to enhance the performance of any damping solution by mechanical impedance coupling. This magneto mechanism is adaptable to low and high ranges of frequencies and it can substitute tuned vibration absorbers currently being used for the vibration control in automotive, energy or seismic applications….

Z-DAMPER: A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR VIBRATION CONTROL AT EXTREME TEMPERATURES

Z-DAMPER: A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR VIBRATION CONTROL AT EXTREME TEMPERATURES

Madrid-18/07/2016 – MAG SOAR in collaboration with UAH develops a completely innovative system to face vibration problems by mechanical impedance matching. Vibration control of buildings, airplanes, cars and other kinds of systems and structures is an extremely important issue in constant evolution. Insufficient control of vibration propagation can cause the critical failure and ultimately, the total breakage of a…
