Vibratech TVD offers the widest damper application experience in the industry. Our unique 75 year heritage provides the broad knowledge and creativity needed to innovate specific product solutions to exceed with challenges today. – Aaron Neyman, Vibration Solutions Manager
Vibratech TVD’s investment in modeling reduces prototype iterations and increases speed to market. Once a baseline vibration map is created and calibrated through validation testing, then future powertrain configuration changes can be accurately modeled to determine damper performance.
TORSIONAL DAMPER VALIDATION TESTING
Validation testing is performed during torsional damper development. Quality and damper performance criteria benchmarks are established during the collaboration process. These criteria can be validated through a series of tests in different environments:
ON ENGINE
Mobile test equipment with engine or chassis dyno.
OFF ENGINE
In-house lab equipment using log decay methods.
IN VEHICLE
Driveline testing capabilities performed at test track.
