Vibration Absorbers/Dampers

Vibration Absorbers/Dampers

Continental develops effective absorber systems aimed at eliminating disruptive vibrations and noise within vehicles with a view to ensuring better acoustics and enhanced driving comfort. A tailored solution can be achieved by having a relatively small mass vibrate in antiphase to the disruptive excitation. The vibration behavior is adjusted via the spring/damper system. A small absorber weight can therefore have a considerable effect.

These products are not available in South America.

Technical Specifications

• Both classic absorbers without fluid or so-called hydraulic absorbers filled with fluid serve to reduce structure-borne vibration caused by resonance.
• The damping characteristics of absorbers are generally adjusted by means of the elastomer spring. The use of an integrated fluid system opens up new possibilities for adjusting the component. Key support spring characteristics can be optimized independently of the damping characteristics. Continental Vibration Control’s modular system has a breathtakingly simple design and boasts integrated protection against breakaway. It is therefore suitable for universal vehicle application.
