  • Publication number: 20230144479
    Abstract: Two or more target points different in amplitude in a natural mode, which exist in a housing of an object to be damped such as an engine, a gearbox, motors, or the like are located. Among these target points, an arm is fixed at a position relatively small in amplitude, and a vibration absorber provided at the free end of the arm is pressed against a position (relatively large in amplitude. When vibrations occur in the object, the vibration absorber holds the target point relatively large in amplitude while the arm is following the vibrations of the target.

  • Patent number: 11105391
    Abstract: A dynamic damper includes a hub, a vibration ring located on the outer periphery of the hub, and a pair of elastic bodies made of a rubber-like elastic body located on both sides in the axial direction of the vibration ring and coupling the hub and the vibration ring, in which the vibration ring is provided with a protrusion extending to the vicinity of the outer periphery of the hub, each of the elastic bodies has a shape of being curved outward in the axial direction from the protrusion from the hub to the vibration ring, a projection extending toward the protrusion is integrally molded on a surface on a protrusion side in the elastic bodies, and a gap is set between the protrusion and the projection.
