Viscous Vibration Damper
Cummins®

The 4007035 Viscous Vibration Damper, manufactured by Cummins, is a critical component in the commercial truck industry. This damper is engineered to mitigate vibrations during engine operation, enhancing vehicle performance and stability.

Basic Concepts of Viscous Vibration Dampers

A viscous vibration damper reduces mechanical vibrations by converting kinetic energy into heat through a viscous fluid. It consists of a housing filled with silicone-based fluid and a moving mass that interacts with this fluid. When vibrations occur, the moving mass oscillates within the fluid, generating resistance that dissipates vibrational energy as heat ¹.
