- Products - Vibration Dampers -
| A Constrained Layer Damper (CLD) comprises a high performance viscoelastic polymer and stiff 'constraining' layer, which is usually aluminium or steel. | Design and manufacture conventional constrained layer damping systems for most any application. | Vibration Cracking Problems > Aerospace: wings, skins, ribs, engine blades and castings, spacecraft structures. |
| CLDs are designed for application to structures that would otherwise vibrate and cause problems. | These may vary from relatively simple and inexpensive designs for the appliance industry to multi-material designs for extended operating temperature range .to very complex and lightweight designs for the aerospace industry. | |
| steel, aluminum, titanium, carbon fibre composite, etc.are used in our constrained layer damping systems. | Electronics > Computer hard drives, printers, fans. |
|
 |
Heathcotes has an extensive Library of Viscoelastic Materials and can select appropriate damping materials for a wide range of applications including very cold applications to very hot engine or vehicle braking applications. Materials are available which can meet stringent aircraft, spacecraft, and computer industry outgassing and flammability requirements. |
|
| CLD's being applied to aircraft vane. | ||
| By the careful choice of materials and locations large reductions in noise and vibration can be made whilst minimising costs and weights. | ||
