We all get caught up in racing, it’s in our blood. Sometimes we are even passionate about a product or technology just because it’s endorsed in racing. I know we get fired up knowing that Lamborghini, Audi and Ford use a viscous harmonic damper to protect the V10 engines found in their high end supercars. Why might they choose this? Well, consider the following… 4,000hp GE Locomotives running diesel turbines and 500hp+ Class 8 diesel trucks depend on viscous crankshaft dampers to deliver our performance parts day in, day out, 365 days a year.
Viscous silicone damper technology touches every aspect of our lives. Nearly every major heavy duty diesel engine uses a viscous crankshaft damper for optimum efficiency and prolonged engine life. Over-the-road diesel truck engines last 500,000 between rebuilds in part by a viscous damper. Diesel locomotives move insane amounts of freight across this country reliably with a viscous damper. Productive modern agriculture is possible in part by viscous dampers. Heavy duty construction equipment operates for hours on end with a viscous damper. Dependable power generation in remote oil fields and off shore rigs is possible with viscous damper protected generators. Even buildings are protected with large earthquake absorbing viscous silicone dampers.
When our livelihoods are on the line – viscous damper technology is the clear choice. Imagine what a Fluidampr performance damper can do for your build. |
