Fluid Torsional Damper

A fluid torsional damper is an advanced vibration control device which provides continuous damping over a wide frequency range by dissipating vibration energy into heat. Type of damping dominant in this type is viscous damping because of the shearing of the fluid.

Whether used in automotive applications, industrial machinery, or structural engineering, it plays a vital role in reducing oscillations that can cause wear, noise, and discomfort. By utilizing a specially formulated viscous fluid, the damper provides controlled resistance, absorbing kinetic energy and transforming it into heat. This process allows for smoother operation of systems exposed to dynamic loads and varying frequencies of vibrations.
The fluid torsional damper is especially critical in modern vehicles where reducing vibrations from engines, drivetrains, and chassis is essential for enhancing performance and passenger comfort. These dampers also contribute to the longevity of mechanical components by reducing the impact of repetitive movements, ensuring that sensitive parts remain protected from excessive strain.
At Premier Seals, our viscous fluid dampers are designed to meet the most demanding performance criteria. The combination of robust materials and precision-engineered fluid systems ensures durability and consistent performance, even under extreme operating conditions.

WHAT ARE CENTER SUPPORT BEARINGS?

A center support bearing is an NVH isolating and damping component for the power train. It carries the load of the driveshaft and accommodates axial and radial deflection that takes place when a starts-up and while braking. An effective solution to isolate and damp the noise and vibration that is transferred to the vehicle’s structure by the tumbling of the drive shaft. The component includes a rubber compound that is developed for acoustic isolation. This rubber compound is resistant to high temperatures and is able to withstand continuous rotational forces. The rubber is bonded to metal to create the centre bearing. Premier seals is a reputed manufacturer of rubber bonded to metal items. Along with centre bearing rubber we also manufacture other components like anti-vibration mounts, TVDs, flexible couplings, and more. Contact us to learn more about our product catalog.

WHY THE RIGHT COMPONENTS ARE IMPORTANT

Noise, vibration, and harshness play a key role in how the quality of a vehicle is perceived. It is not about eliminating all noise and vibration but about optimizing what noise and vibrations users feel. The components used in the power train have a direct impact on the NVH performance of a vehicle. Automotive manufacturers must ensure they select the right components for their vehicles. The use of components with internal damping properties is increasing. In this highly competitive sector, even small advantages in performance can have a big impact on sales and perception. At Premier Seals we work with our clients from the design stage to ensure the highest levels of performance and quality. We provide recommendations and improvements before the design freeze, before moving to development and manufacture.
