A Driveline Vibration Damper Is Different Than A Crankshaft Damper

Written by Brian LeBarron | Sep 8, 2015

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

Vibratech TVD Driveline Vibration Damper

  •          Tuned for optimum protection in a narrow frequency band.
  •          Lasts the life of the driveline.
  •          Suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
  •          Available from 5” O.D.

 

Vibratech TVD Crankshaft Damper

  •          Broad range protection across a wide frequency range and multiple orders.
  •          Requires scheduled replacement or refurbishing in heavy duty applications.

Both feature basic torsional viscous damper design that incorporates a free rotating inertia ring inside a sealed housing.  A tuned, narrow frequency band viscous driveline damper is achievable today through our ability to fine tune and hold precision machining tolerances in combination with a proprietary silicone damping medium selection.
