High Damp Spring

Wire mesh parts are highly damped. High damping is useful for many reasons.

• Higher damping will reduce the amplitude of vibration. A vibrating system will have resonant peaks. Sometimes it is difficult to avoid operating at or near those peaks. Damping will reduce the levels of vibration that get transmitted through the structure.

• High damping will reduce bounce. A system will stabilize faster with a highly damped system.  This is what shock absorbers do for a car.

• High damping removes energy from the system.
