Viscous damper

摘要

A viscous damper for damping linear vibrations along an axis to isolate a precision instrument such as a vibrating beam accelerometer having a divided sealed cavity containing a damping fluid with a diaphragm disposed on each side of the division and a narrow gap coupling the spaces next to the two diaphragms, the diaphragms coupled respectively between an internal and an external mount with the instrument to be protected mounted to the internal mount and the external mount mounted to the body to which the instrument is attached.
