vibration damper and shock absorber
1Shock absorber — Gas damper A shock absorber is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and dissipate kinetic energy. It is a type of dashpot. Contents …
2Vibration isolation — is the process of isolating an object, such as a piece of equipment, from the source of vibrations. Passive isolationPassive vibration isolation systems consist essentially of a mass, spring and damper (dash pot).Active isolationActive vibration… …
3damper — [1] A friction device sometimes called a shock absorber. Used for controlling and damping spring oscillations. The springs actually absorb road shocks; the dampers convert the energy imparted to the springs into thermal energy (by friction),… …
4Damper — A damper is a device that deadens, restrains, or depresses. Damper may refer to: Dashpot, a type of hydraulic or mechanical damper, Shock absorber (British or technical use: damper), a mechanical device designed to dissipate kinetic energy In… …
5damper — /dam peuhr/, n. 1. a person or thing that damps or depresses: His glum mood put a damper on their party. 2. a movable plate for regulating the draft in a stove, furnace, etc. 3. Music. a. a device in stringed keyboard instruments to deaden the… …
6Tuned mass damper — An animation showing the movement of a skyscraper versus the mass damper. The green indicates the hydraulic cylinders used to damp the motion of the skyscraper. A tuned mass damper, also known as an active mass damper (AMD) or harmonic absorber,… …
7Torsional vibration — is angular vibration of an object commonly a shaft along its axis of rotation. Torsional vibration is often a concern in power transmission systems using rotating shafts or couplings where it can cause failures if not controlled. In ideal power… …
8Magnetorheological damper — A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet.[1][2][3] This allows the damping characteristics of the… …
9Suspension (vehicle) — Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose – contributing to the car s handling and braking for good active safety and driving …
10MacPherson strut — A simple MacPherson strut suspension on the left front wheel of a rear wheel drive vehicle. Front of the vehicle top right in image. Red section: Steering knuckle or hub carrier Blue section: Lower control arm or track control arm Light blue… …
