[Vibration Damping]

Vibration damping is the process of converting vibration energy into heat, which in turn reduces vibration. When the vibration of a piece equipment reaches the natural frequency, the vibration amplifies (resonance). This frequency is called the resonance frequency (resonance frequency ≈ natural frequency). Without vibration damping, the vibration transmission rate will increase infinitely.
The more effective the vibration damping, the lower the vibration transmission rate (resonance magnification) at the resonance point will be. However, vibration insulation will decrease at higher frequencies.
