PIPE SUPPORTS VIBRATION CONTROL SERVICES LISEGA INDUSTRIES WEBINARS CONTACTS English Viscoelastic dampers Increased demands on the efficiency, productivity and safety of plants and their pipelines make system reliability more and more important. The dynamic properties of the pipeline system play an important role here. To control unwanted vibrations within a permissible operating range, viscoelastic dampers, tuned mass dampers and actively controlled dampers are used.

Applications include energy production, process engineering and damping of individual machines or complete piping systems. Dampers can be used to solve vibration problems as long as a solid bearing of the highest possible rigidity is present. Ambient temperatures of -30 (-22 °F) to + 110 °C (230 °F) as well as extremely demanding environmental conditions (e.g. chemicals, dust or salt-laden atmospheres) are not an obstacle here. Funktionsprinzip The viscoelastic damper consists of a metal housing filled with a highly viscous medium. A stamp connected to the upper connection plate can move freely in all spatial directions within the medium. Either the upper or lower plate is connected to the vibrating system, while the other one must be mounted on a fixed abutment. The unwanted system vibrations are converted into heat energy by the movement of the stamp in the viscous medium. This increases the damping, and the resonant “overshoot” is greatly mitigated. Translational as well as rotational degrees of freedom can be damped at the same time. Thermal shifts, such as those in a pipeline, can be taken into account by the deflection of the damper, thus guaranteeing the optimal center position at the operating point.
