Light Vehicle Products | Isolators & Dampers | Chassis Seat Dampers Reduce seat vibrations with opposing inertial forces Tuned mass dampers are ideal for applications where vibrations transmitted from the road surface into the chassis need to be balanced with opposing inertial forces. One application area is reducing seat vibrations. Unresolved, these can lead to quality complaints from customers prevented from enjoying rear-seat entertainment systems. Rear-seat entertainment systems are becoming increasingly popular, not just in premium sedans, but also in family vehicles. To get the fullest enjoyment from movies or games, the vibration behavior of the front seats, where the screens are mounted, needs to be improved. The often-visible vibrations of an unoccupied seat can lead to quality complaints from customers. To address customers’ specific frequency needs, die-cast materials like zinc can provide the moving mass for the damper, while lightweight glass fiber re-inforced plastic housings can reduce the weight. Silicone rubber is used to mount the moving mass into the housing and provides the damping characteristics. It has very good temperature characteristics and can also be color coded for better identification during assembly. About Isolators & Dampers | Chassis Isolators and mass dampers are ideal for solving a wide variety of vibration-related challenges transmitted into the chassis from the road surface. Linear dampers are a strategic design element to counteract unwanted noise and vibrations – especially in lightweight structures. more Related Products Brake Tuned Absorbers Convertible Dampers Exhaust Mounts Downloads Code of Conduct Documents for Customers Documents for Suppliers Imprint Data Protection Legal Notice Follow us on Contact us Jobs & Career Products & Services Suppliers & Service Providers Vibracoustic Aftermarket Our Locations Media Compliance The website uses cookies to allow for the best possible user experience.
