DAMPED AUTOMOTIVE DRIVELINE COMPONENT

摘要

A damped automotive driveline component can be a propshaft, a bar shaft, a torque tube housing, a power transfer unit (PTU) housing, or a final drive unit (FDU) housing, among other possibilities. The component is equipped with a dampener in order to dissipate vibrations experienced during use of the component. The dampener includes metal wire strands. Relative movement among the metal wire strands is believed to damp the vibrations.
