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,.

Damping vibrations is crucial for precision experiments, for example in astronomy. A new invention uses a special kind of magnets to achieve this -- electropermanent magnets. They consist of a ...

A collaboration between the University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) has shown it’s possible to electronically tune the frequency ...

Hydrin-brand ECO has a long history of use in automotive applications due its exceptional heat and oil resistance up to 150°C, while maintaining flexibility at low temperatures down to -50°C. While ...

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 ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...

A compressor hums, an air conditioning system rattles, a railway carriage chassis clatters, sending reverberations through its passengers. Vibrations are not only annoying but can also be harmful.

This is a 3D model of a four-cylinder engine in MapleSim software from Maplesoft. The software lets designers use symbolic and numeric techniques to diagnose vibration issues on machines powered by ...
