  • Absorption of vibrations of a distributor boom of an agricultural distributing machine
    Patent number: 11614139
    Abstract: An agricultural machine, the machine comprising: a distributor boom; a sensor for detecting a vibration of the distributor boom; an electronic control device in communication with the sensor; and a mobile mass coupled to the distributor boom and associated with an actuator, the electronic control device, upon detection of a vibration in the distributor boom, configured to actuate the actuator to relocate the mobile mass in the direction of the vibration to be damped with respect to the distributor boom.
    Type: Grant
