Cellasto® friction dampers for longer lasting smooth performance
“Smooth” and “quiet” aren’t always associated with high production, but they should be. Those characteristics increase the performance and the quality of your products, which is why today’s innovators are adding Cellasto® to friction dampers in a wide variety of merchandise, ranging from various appliances to automotive interiors.
What is a friction damper?
Friction dampers absorb the energies of unbalanced masses and corresponding large vibrations by converting motion to heat. Utilized in this application, Cellasto® has proven superior at reducing noise and vibration while increasing performance, extending life and streamlining design and manufacturing processes.
Due to a permitted high pre-load assembly and volume compressibility, it is predestinated for friction (lining/surface/coats). This means it allows for a more consistent and smooth operation under a wider range of demanding conditions compared to traditional materials, such as non-foamed elastomers or metal alloy.
Moreover, Cellasto® friction lining/surface/coats can compensate for assembly tolerances, are not sensitive to variations in temperature or dust and debris on surfaces and offer an elastic support of moving parts.
A little bit of Cellasto® goes a long way, so it doesn’t have to break your budget. When you use it in friction dampers for automobiles, agricultural equipment, office furniture, various appliances and power tools, your team will gain a competitive edge in the global marketplace by increasing its values.
