Abstract
A damper suitable for buffering minor vibration is provided. By changing the shape of the damper in its radial direction or forming a plurality of caves in the damper, the coefficient of elasticity of damper in its axial directions can be changed. Relatively, the damping power of the damper in its different axes can be adjusted. Furthermore a damper structure comprises a damper and a clamp which allows a change in the amount and the placement of the contact surface area between the damper and the clamp to adjust the damping power of the damper structure in different axes.
Claims9
A damper comprising a radial trench, wherein the radial trench is caved into a lateral surface area of the damper and a shape of a traversal cross-section parallel to a radius of a damper is not 90-degrees-cyclic-quadrant-symmetric.
A damper comprising a radial trench and a slot, wherein the radial trench is caved into a lateral surface area of the damper and the slot is caved into outer surfaces of the damper.
8 A damper structure comprising:
- a damper comprising a radial trench which caves into a lateral surface area of the damper and is parallel to a radius of the damper;
- a clamp which engages to clamp onto the damper by the radial trench, wherein
- a surface contact area between the clamp and the damper is smaller than an inner surface area of the radial trench.
The damper in claim 9, wherein the damper further comprising a longitudinal through-hole which penetrates through the damper and is parallel to a longitude of the damper.
