Abstract
The present invention is directed to a material adapted to reduce vibration and, more specifically, to a material adapted to dissipate and evenly distribute transmitted vibrations. The material is particularly suited for impact and/or heavy load vibration resistance.
Claims15
A vibration-reducing material comprising:
- first and second flexible or semi-rigid aramid material layers that distribute vibration to facilitate vibration dampening, each of the first and second aramid material layers including at least some floating fibers and having a cylindrical shape extending between opposed planar end surfaces;
- and
- an elastomeric layer that is substantially free of voids configured to absorb vibration and impact energy, the elastomer layer having a cylindrical shape and located substantially between one of the planar end surfaces of the first aramid material layer and one of the planar end surfaces of the second aramid material layer.
