Seco Tools Inc. has developed its Steadyline vibration damping shell mill holders that feature a passive dynamic damping system offering up to three times the rigidity of equivalent solid holders,.

Traditional isolators are built with metal springs or rubber blocks. They have low internal damping and generally are only effective at frequencies near 10 Hz. They also offer little to no isolation ...

Active or passive technology can be used to isolate vibrations from equipment. By employing active techniques, opposite but equal forces are created electronically via actuators and sensors to cancel ...

• Urethane damping materials cure faster than water-based versions and have comparable damping performance. • PVC plastisol damping sheets and tiles quiet airborne noise 100 times better than bare ...

New vibration damping plastic alloys were developed using blends of nylon-6 or polypropylene (PP) with modifiers and damping agent. The damping properties and stiffness were compared with commercially ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs ...

Engineers in Germany are working on intelligent materials that can diminish vibrations and extract power from the environment. These electro-active elastomers could dampen annoying vibrations in a ...
