  2. Stockbridge damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockbridge_damper

    A Stockbridge damper is a tuned mass damper used to suppress wind-induced vibrations on slender structures such as overhead power lines, [1] long cantilevered signs [2] and cable-stayed bridges. The dumbbell -shaped device consists of two masses at the ends of a short length of cable or flexible rod, which is clamped at its middle to the main ...

  3. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    Butterfly valve with actuator electric valve - An electrically actuated butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve controlled by an electric motor. It offers fast and precise flow regulation, remote operation, and versatility for various applications.

  4. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    The graph shows the effect of a tuned mass damper on a simple spring–mass–damper system, excited by vibrations with an amplitude of one unit of force applied to the main mass, m 1. An important measure of performance is the ratio of the force on the motor mounts to the force vibrating the motor, ⁠ F 0 / F 1 ⁠ .

  5. Tornado diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_diagram

    Completed Tornado Diagram. Tornado diagrams, also called tornado plots, tornado charts or butterfly charts, are a special type of Bar chart, where the data categories are listed vertically instead of the standard horizontal presentation, and the categories are ordered so that the largest bar appears at the top of the chart, the second largest appears second from the top, and so on.

  6. Damping torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_torque

    Damping torque is provided by indicating instrument. Damper is a generic term used to identify any mechanism used for vibration energy absorption, the shaft vibration suppression, soft start and overload protection device. In order to design an efficient damper, it is imperative that the damping torque is calculated first.

  7. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    Simplified diagram of linear dashpot. A dashpot, also known as a damper [citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring.

  8. Poppet valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppet_valve

    The word poppet shares etymology with "puppet": it is from the Middle English popet ("youth" or "doll"), from Middle French poupette, which is a diminutive of poupée.The use of the word poppet to describe a valve comes from the same word applied to marionettes, which, like the poppet valve, move bodily in response to remote motion transmitted linearly.

  9. Centrifugal pendulum absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pendulum_absorber

    The distinction is significant since dampers reduce the vibration amplitude by converting the vibration energy into heat. Absorbers store the energy and return it to the vibration system at the appropriate time. [5] Centrifugal pendulum absorbers like tuned mass absorbers are not part of the force/torque flow.
