Prevent Engine Failure Before It Happens.
Replace Your Torsional Vibration Damper Before It Costs You.

Still rolling steady—or stuck on the shoulder with a seized engine?

Let’s talk about applications. Vibratech TVD covers a wide range of engine applications including on and off highway trucks, agricultural equipment, power generation, rail, and our high performance Fluidampr aftermarket line. One of our most popular applications is the ISX Cummins*. Let’s compare our Cummins* ISX/ X15 damper (pn:718041-600) to our more recently released Severe Duty damper for the ISX/ X15 engine (pn:1461704-000).

Torsional Vibration Damper Introduction

The engineering challenges of developing an OEM high performance engine are increasingly complex. Design requirements include generating more power from a smaller displacement, combined with airflow restrictions under the hood, while meeting long life durability.

All three are intertwined with controlling crankshaft torsional vibration. This back-and-forth oscillation of the crankshaft along its rotational axis is due to combustion forces. It is particularly critical at engine speeds where resonance can amplify the torsional amplitude forces. If left unchecked, torsional vibration contributes to engine failure.

As part of the 2^nd Annual Race Industry Week – EPARTRADE invited us to have a conversation about our design attributes and answer questions important for the racing industry. Here are a few questions our lead engineer Aaron Neyman answered direct from Jeff Hammond (NASCAR personality – former crew chief) and the racing community.

EPARTRADE.com and RACER.com have teamed up to present Online Race Industry Week. November 30 thru December 4. Dozens of race industry suppliers are providing 55 hours of live technical and business webinars, and RACER.com will host 15 live panels of race industry leaders.

As Vibratech TVD continues to supply OE customers as an 'essential' manufacturer during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also taken the moment to review our replacement parts catalog to best supply service centers.  Heavy Duty parts and service managers now have two excellent Vibratech TVD damper choices for servicing their Cummins ISX / X15 owners.
