Rubber-coated bellows improves vibration damping in vacuum lines

Compact-vibration damping systems, consisting of rubber-coated metal bellows with a sliding O-ring connector, are used in vacuum lines. The device presents a metallic surface to the vacuum system and combines flexibility with the necessary stiffness. It protects against physical damage, reduces fatigue failure, and provides easy mating of nonparallel lines.

Damping technique gives accelerometer flat frequency response

Piezoelectric accelerometer uses a viscous damping technique to achieve a flat frequency response over a wide frequency range in high acoustic environments. This eliminates the electrical overload on associated electronics and loss of useful data caused by oscillations of the accelerometer.
