Fluid viscous damper is composed of cylinder, piston rod, hole damping channel, damping medium, guide rod and other parts. Through the shear or external pressure of the fluid medium itself, it provides damping force through the hole, so as to achieve energy dissipation from kinetic energy to thermal energy.
In all types of damping products, fluid viscous damper is the most popular and is widely used in many industry including Bridges, Buildings, Structures, etc., providing seismic, wind resistant, vibration resistant and other functions.
Fluid viscous damper is a damping device that makes its output proportional to the relative velocity at both ends (linear damping) or to the power relation of its output to the velocity (nonlinear damping).
EKD company uses silicone fluid materials and custom orifice to achieve linear and nonlinear viscous dampers.
