Pressed Torsional Vibration Dampers
Enable lightweight crankshaft design and cost-efficient noise radiation reduction
Elastomer or rubber ring providing damping and stiffness
Torsional Vibration Dampers (TVD) reduce the vibrations of the crankshaft. This increases the life of the motor. Pressed TVDs facilitate lightweight crankshaft designs and cost-efficient noise radiation reduction.
Elastomer types provide excellent damping and stiffness characteristics. The inertia ring serves as the vibration mass for the pressed TVD. In many applications it provides the torque transmission to the auxiliary belt drive and with a special surface treatment it can be equipped with a high torque feature to support even high loaded applications. Pressed TVDs are a cost-effective way to achieve this goal.
