Vibration damping components come out from under the bonnet

1 min read

Vibration damping components are mature and pretty ubiquitous products – often hidden away inside or under engines, motors, fans or similar. It is notable that a high performance range from the claimed market leaders in production of standard machine parts should get an airing.

Elesa UK has now included its complete range of damper and cushioning elements with steel and stainless steel base mounting into their standard catalogue. Essentially operating in compression or shear, double ended cylindrical units are often required to carry heavy equipment loads while on the other hand single mounting buffers in pad or conical format are ideal for absorbing energy on impact during equipment operation or perhaps door closure or similar. The DVA range is formed in natural rubber based on zinc/steel and AISI 304 stainless mounts with male or female attachments. They have been designed to damp vibrations, shocks and noises produced by moving bodies or vibrating masses which can cause malfunctioning and reduction of the machine lifespan and/or of the adjacent equipment, or even operator damage to health. The range is available in black natural rubber to standard hardness 55 Shore A, as well as 40 Shore A or 70 Shore A to custom specifications.
