  • Damping of vibrations of a machine
    Patent number: 10744608
    Abstract: A device for damping vibrations of a machine, in particular for damping vibrations of a machine tool, wherein the device includes a first linear motor primary part, a pendulum mass, mounted via at least one supporting sheet-metal assembly provide a relative motion of the pendulum mass along the first linear motor primary part, a first linear motor secondary part fastened to the pendulum mass such that the pendulum mass is actuated via the first linear motor primary part to dampen vibrations of the machine, a second linear motor primary part, and a second linear motor secondary part fastened to the pendulum mass such that the pendulum mass is additionally actuated via the second linear motor primary part to dampen vibrations of the machine so as to achieve an especially compact device that makes it possible to dampen vibrations of machines, in particular machine tools, effectively and without maintenance.
