A vibration damper is a device designed to reduce or control unwanted vibrations in machinery and structures. It works by absorbing and dissipating energy from vibrations, which can help prevent damage and improve performance. Common applications include automotive systems, industrial equipment, and buildings. These dampers can be made from various materials, such as rubber or metal, and come in different designs, including viscoelastic and tuned mass dampers. By minimizing vibrations, they enhance comfort, safety, and longevity of the equipment or structure they are installed in.
