Torsional Viscous Dampers

Why are Dampers fitted? Intermediate Condition The crankshaft damper is fitted to minimise the influence of torsional vibrations developing in the crankshaft. This keeps material stresses arising from these vibrations within permissible design limits. The damper, by reducing oscillations in the crankshaft to a low amplitude, prevents premature failures of the driven equipment.
