Vibration damper M series

frictionfor machines

Tuned mass dampers, or TMDs, are resonant devices used to suppress or absorb vibration. When installed properly on a machine or structure, they draw away vibrational energy from the structure or machine and dissipate it internally, reducing the motion of the machine. Moog’s advanced Magnetic-Series resonant devices are the perfect solution for structural resonance suppression and vibration control applications, and they are especially suited for precision micro-vibration applications. By replacing traditional elastomeric and fluidic damping technology with highly reliable rare earth magnetics, improved temperature range performance and a field-tunable damper coefficient has been achieved. The M-Series also facilitates rapid natural frequency adjustment, allowing the end-user to easily modify the device’s resonant frequency response. • Highly efficient moving mass to parasitic mass ratio • Tunable resonant frequency via mechanical adjustment • Tunable damping ratio via a trimmer on devices • Convertible to an active reaction mass actuator (RMA) which can be useful for: -Structural dynamics testing with minimal mass loading -Active vibration damping or cancellation systems • Precision micro-vibration • Optical instruments • Machine tools • Product testing • Semiconductor fabrication equipment • Electron microscopes • Directed energy systems
