An Early History of the Torsional Viscous Damper
"Houde's announcement of the new damper says: 'It should prove one of the most important engineering discoveries of recent years.'" Buffalo Evening News. March 13, 1946.

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