Viscous Fluid Damper (VFD)

Viscous Fluid Damper (VFD) - VFD Introduction

VFD Introduction

A damper that uses piston motion and viscous medium flow to generate damping force and convert mechanical vibration energy from earthquakes or wind into heat.

VFD Introduction 2

When external vibration reaches the structure, the structure drives damper movement. Pressure difference forms across the piston, forcing silicone oil through the damping structure and producing damping force.

VFD Introduction 3

Steel Damper VFD products use reliable sealing and stable long-life performance and can be repeatedly used under earthquakes and strong wind loads.

Viscous Fluid Damper (VFD) - Connection Type

Connection Type

Reinforcement for upper and lower cantilever walls must strictly follow drawings, including position, elevation, and verticality control.

Connection Type 2

Embedded parts must be accurately placed and fixed to prevent displacement during concrete pouring, while plate parallelism and concrete quality must be controlled.

Connection Type 3

Before damper installation, ear plates and the damper are assembled with pins, then welded to embedded parts with strict weld quality control.
