Tuned Mass Dampers

The damping solution to minimize and eliminate vibrations in your buildings, piping, and infrastructure.

 

Dynamic absorbers, or tuned mass dampers (TMDs), are isolation devices designed to reduce and control periodic disturbances that can affect your structures and infrastructures, especially dynamic excitations that cause vibrations like wind loads, seismic activity, or rotating equipment vibration.

These absorbers perform effectively even in tough conditions, offering exceptional damping performance and high mechanical strength. They are also highly recommended for protecting equipment like engines and pumps from shocks and vibrations, ensuring their longevity and optimal performance.

  • Socitec's Tuned Mass Dampers are known for their easy installation and longlasting durability, thanks to their remarkable resistance to aging and fatigue. With no maintenance required, they provide a highly practical and long-lasting solution. Their excellent mechanical strength makes them ideal for use in demanding and extreme conditions, while ensuring optimal performance throughout.

  • Tuned mass dampers are carefully calibrated to match one or more natural frequencies of the structure or equipment they are installed on. This tuning allows the efficient transfer of vibrational energy from the structure or system to the dynamic absorber, ensuring quick dissipation of vibrations, therefore reducing the damaging loads on the structure it is protecting.

  • Tuned Mass Dampers provide three key benefits:

    They enhance user comfort by reducing unwanted vibrations and noise.

    They prolong the lifespan of structures and infrastructures by protecting them from harmful vibration that can accelerate aging and wear.

    They maintain the integrity of constructions and equipment by offering effective protection against destructive dynamic forces.

  • Like all isolation products from Socitec, our tuned mass dampers can be custom-designed to fit any application. This customization enables us to address the unique needs of each project, even the most challenging applications.
