Vibration Absorbers for Intelligent Comfort Optimization

Avoidance of annoying vibration and noise plays a major role in automotive technology. Often these are caused by periodic excitations from the engine, which the driver is aware of as vibrations in components such as the steering wheel or as a humming noise in the passenger compartment. Material fatigue can also result from unfavorable vibration conditions.

For the sake of better acoustics and enhanced riding comfort, ContiTech Vibration Control develops effective absorber systems aimed at eliminating annoying vibration and noise in vehicles. A tailored solution can be realized by having a relatively small mass vibrate in antiphase to the annoying excitation. The vibration behavior is to be adjusted via the spring/damper system. A small absorber weight can thus have a considerable effect.
