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.
