Vibration absorber for e.g. drive shaft of motor vehicle, has outer part with segments designed with connection units for manufacturing locking connection, and inner part with projection for fixing of segments in direction of shaft

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The absorber (1) has an inner part (3) made of an elastic material for attaching to an outer circumference of a rotating shaft and an axis. An outer part (2) serves as inertia masses and has two segments that are designed with connection units at its ends for manufacturing a reciprocal locking connection. The units are designed as a single piece, where each unit has two complementarily designed extensions extending in a circumferential direction of the shaft. The inner part has a projection at its front sides for fixing of the segments in a longitudinal direction of the shaft. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for mounting a vibration absorber to a rotating shaft or axis. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Vibration absorber for clamped mounting to an outer circumference of a rotating shaft e.g. drive shaft, or axis of a motor vehicle (all claimed) for suppression and/or absorption of vibrations influencing driving and/or steering process. Can also be used for reducing low and high-frequency vibrations in machines, systems and structures. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The outer part has two segments that are designed with the connection units at its ends for manufacturing the reciprocal locking connection such that the need for number of components can be reduced, thus ensuring easy mounting of the absorber to the rotating shaft and reducing storage, manufacturing and transportation costs of the absorber. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a vibration absorber. 1 : Vibration absorber 2 : Outer part 3 : Inner part 4 : Aperture 8 : Chambers.
