Viscoelastic Damping Material Now in Thicker Material
Posted on Mon, May 07, 2012
Although 1 to 5 mil viscoelastic will suffice in some applications, many applications require thicker materials, some .500' thick and thicker. Luckily, Gleicher has pioneered and developed the manufacturing technology necessary to effectively produce materials from 0.010' to 0.500' thick and thicker, giving engineers the design flexibility they need for most applications.
Dampening materials help convert vibrational energy into negligible heat making it easier for vibrational structures to recover faster after each vibration cycle. These materials effectively reduce noise, product fatigue and enhance performance.
Gleicher's fabrication capabilties include:
- Multi-Layer Laminations
- Constraining Layer Lamination
- Precision Die Cutting including Thick Materials
- Island Placement of Visco Under Constraining Layers
- Precision Slitting/Scoring
- Introduction of Non-Silicon Liners
- Clean Room Packaging
- Outgas Reducing Post Bake HEPA Filter Ovens
- CAD Design & Engineering
