Rubber Dampers
Engineered elastomeric dynamic dampers designed to target and eliminate specific resonant frequencies in rotating drivetrains, automotive exhaust systems, suspension control links, and high-speed industrial machinery.
Types & Configurations of Rubber Dampers
Tuned Exhaust Hanger Dampers
Moulded EPDM/silicone dampers absorbing low-frequency exhaust tailpipe drumming.
Driveshaft Dynamic Mass Dampers
Circular tuned rubber-metal dampers pressed onto propshafts eliminating driveline boom.
Suspension Link Mass Absorbers
Targeted mass dampers bolted to vehicle wishbones suppressing road tire roar.
Pneumatic Line Pulsation Dampers
Elastomeric dampers smoothing pressure pulses in compressed air piping.
Torsional Crankshaft Damper Rings
Precision vulcanized elastomeric rings absorbing high-rpm crankshaft torsional twisting.
