Vibration Control with Viscoelastic Damping Materials

Posted on Wed, Feb 15, 2012


Viscoelastic Damping materials control resonance induced vibrations in vibrating structures or devices. By controlling vibrations, Viscoelastic Damping Polymers reduce noise and improve product fatigue and performance.  

Viscoelastic Dampers are used to improve products in a number of markets, including: computer, automotive, aerospace, electrical/mechanical devices, consumer appliances, medical electronics and general industrial products.  

Gleicher Manufacturing offers a variety of 3M Damping materials, customized to your application needs. Damping materials from Gleicher are available in a range of thickness, from 0.010” to 0.500” and thicker—giving engineers the flexibility they need.
