Abstract: A damping device includes a calculator calculating a pseudo vibration to cancel a source vibration transmitted from a vibration source to a position to be damped, using an adaptive control algorithm. The canceling vibration is generated according to the pseudo vibration. A vibration detector detects an error vibration remaining at the position. The adaptive control algorithm is adapted by learning to reduce the error vibration. A frequency recognizer recognizes a frequency of the source vibration from a signal related to the vibration source. The frequency of the vibration is used to determine a frequency of the pseudo vibration. A phase difference identifier identifies a phase difference between the error vibration and the canceling vibration according to the pseudo vibration, and a frequency corrector corrects, according to the phase difference, the frequency of the vibration to eliminate the phase difference.

The offset correcting unit is configured such that the amplitude information is acquired and, with respect to the amplitude value corresponding to the acquired amplitude information, if the movable amplitude is in a movable area insufficient condition, correction of the driving command is performed and, on the other hand, if the movable amplitude is not in the movable area insufficient condition, correction of the driving command is released.

Further, the screen display section and the control section respectively independently have connector receiving spaces. By this construction, the screen display section and the control section can be separated from each other and integrated with each other when required, and even in bad weather, water drops do not enter into the insides of the screen display section and the control section and into the connector receiving spaces, which enables safe and easy separation operation and integration operation.
