Tuned Mass Dampers
The solution to securely suspend your equipment
Dynamic absorbers, or tuned mass dampers (TMDs), are damping devices designed to mitigate and control periodic disturbances that may impact your structures and infrastructures, particularly dynamic excitations responsible for vibrations.
Effective even under challenging conditions, these absorbers stand out for their excellent damping performance and high mechanical strength. They are also highly recommended for protecting equipment such as engines and pumps from shocks and vibrations, thereby ensuring their preservation and optimal operation.
FAQ
What are the main properties of tuned mass dampers?
The Tuned Mass Dampers offered by Socitec stand out for their ease of installation and exceptional longevity, thanks to their remarkable resistance to aging and fatigue. Additionally, they require no maintenance, making them a particularly practical and durable solution. Their excellent mechanical robustness is a significant advantage, enabling their use in demanding, even extreme, conditions while maintaining optimal performance.
How do TMDs work?
Tuned mass dampers are precisely tuned to match one or more natural frequencies of the structure or equipment on which they are installed. This tuning enables the irreversible transfer of vibrational energy from the structure or system to be isolated into the dynamic absorber. This mechanism ensures the rapid dissipation of vibrations, effectively eliminating associated risks.
What are the benefits of tuned mass dampers?
Tuned Mass Dampers offer three notable benefits:
They ensure superior user comfort by reducing unwanted vibrations and noise.
They extend the lifespan of structures or infrastructures by protecting them from harmful effects that could accelerate aging and degradation.
They preserve the integrity of constructions or equipment by providing effective protection against destructive dynamic forces
Can Tuned Mass Dampers be customized?
Like all damping products offered by Socitec, our tuned mass dampers can be custom-designed to suit any use case. This customization allows us to meet the unique requirements of each project we work on, even the most specific ones.
