Suspension

Most commercial vibration isolators have much lower horizontal stiffness than vertical stiffness.  Constant-natural frequency isolators cost less than active damping systems and outperform conventional mounts.

A company building relatively low-cost, steel-tube towers for wind turbines was able to lower the price of construction by 30%, but was having difficulty with large, transient wind loads shaking the structure.

Universal joints, including needle roller U-joints with sealed bearings, meet DIN 808-W and have little backlash.

Disc springs are conical washers that provide high-deflection resistance within a very small space.

Stability control and other active safety systems that deal with brakes, steering, and suspensions are based on inputs from angular-rate sensors.

The Nitrogen Gas Spring and Lifter Selection Guide provides all the basic information needed to pick a spring/lifter for an application.

Short of a complete tear down, vibration analysis is one of the best ways for assessing the condition of rotating machinery.

New miniature MC 5M industrial shock absorbers are only1.18-in. long, making them the smallest units in the company's family of industrial shocks.

Ideal cushioning for air cylinders uses measurement technology and lab-proven guidelines to boost cylinder throughput and reduce noise and wear.

Dry-operation dampers reduce shaft oscillations for smoother operation of standard NEMA-17 motors.

Imagine driving down the highway listening to your favorite tune, when you catch a faint noise in the background. You turn down the volume only to hear a rattling noise.

Engineers at Zimmer GmbH in Germany decided to totally redesign the industrial shock absorber or damper from the ground up.
