Propeller Shaft Damper

A propeller shaft damper is a vital component used to reduce vibrations transmitted along the driveline of vehicles. The propeller shaft is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, and without proper damping, it can generate torsional vibrations. The propeller shaft damper works by absorbing and mitigating these vibrations, ensuring smooth and quiet operation of the drivetrain.
The damper is typically made of a combination of rubber and metal materials that absorb the torsional forces generated by the rotating shaft. This leads to improved comfort for passengers and enhanced durability of the drivetrain components by reducing the strain on the transmission and differential.
At Premier Seals, our propeller shaft dampers are engineered to deliver exceptional vibration isolation, ensuring that the noise and harshness generated by the powertrain are minimized. Our dampers are designed to meet the needs of modern vehicles, offering long-lasting performance and superior durability.

CENTRE BEARINGS

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.
