While they may appear similar in design, Vibratech TVD driveline vibration dampers are different than crankshaft dampers. 

Vibratech TVD has perfected the use of silicone for over 70 years in viscous damping applications.  As a vibration damping medium, silicone provides four key properties.

In our previous post, we explained torsional vibration.  Torsional vibration can be categorized under Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH) and directly impacts powertrain performance and durabality, plus affects the operator.

In Part 1 we defined a viscous damper as a fundamental component to create durability and efficiency in a powertrain system by reducing torsional vibration.

To understand what torsional vibration is, we turn to Aaron Neyman, Vibratech TVD Snr. Product Engineer and Torsional Vibration Analyst who stated in an exclusive EngineLabs.com interview:

A viscous damper is a fundamental component to create durability and efficiency in a powertrain system by reducing torsional vibration.
