Architectural and civil engineering vibration control damper "Taylor Fluid Viscous Damper"
Reliable quality cultivated in the aerospace field. We support uncompromising design with flexible customization.
Four Features ■ Customizability With a rich lineup and customizability, it can accommodate various designs. Damping Force: 200 to 8000 kN Speed: 200 cm/s* Stroke: Maximum ±1000 mm Speed Index: 0.3 to 1.0 (standard 0.4) Joint Type: 2 types *Products exceeding 200 cm/s can also be manufactured. ■ Wide Range of Vibration Response It exhibits damping effects against a wide range of vibrations, from small to large earthquakes. ■ Stable Performance Outdoors It has almost no temperature dependence and can usually be ignored. ■ Maintenance-Free By minimizing the number of moving parts and sealing the internal silicone fluid with patented sealing technology, there is no need for maintenance over time. *Please download the PDF for size and analysis specifications.

Detailed information
-
Operating Principle The cylinder of the damper is filled with silicone fluid and sealed with a cap and seal. When force is applied, the clevis, piston rod, and piston head move together as a single mechanism.
-
Joint Type 2 Species Pin - Pin Type: Standard type with consideration for design aesthetics Pin - Base Plate Type: Allows for free design of the steel pipe at the base plate end, making length adjustment easy
-
Installation variations can be applied not only to architecture but also to civil engineering bridge components.
