The GVD-1416-40 is a gel-filled type of mechanical vibration damper designed to reduce vibration and noise in mechanical systems. It is composed of two metal plates filled with a special visco-elastic silicone gel, which dissipates vibrational energy into heat, thus reducing the noise and vibration output. The metal plates are held together by an elastic band, allowing for an optimal damping ratio. The damper is designed to damp vibrations from metal surface that arise from sources such as pumps, fans, motors, generators, and other mechanical devices. The GVD-1416-40 is designed to be easy to install and requires no maintenance, making it a great choice for applications with minimal vibration and noise control requirements.
