A Constrained Layer Damper (CLD) comprises a high performance viscoelastic polymer and stiff 'constraining' layer, which is usually aluminium or steel. Design and manufacture conventional constrained layer damping systems for most any application. Large Structures > Bridges, floors.
CLDs are designed for application to structures that would otherwise vibrate and cause noise problems. These may vary from relatively simple and inexpensive designs for the appliance industry to multi-material designs for extended operating temperature range to very complex and lightweight designs for the aerospace industry. Industrial Equipment > Conveyor chutes and bins, metal cutting machines, coin counting machines.
steel, aluminum, titanium, carbon fibre composite, etc.are used in our constrained layer damping systems. Rail Industry > Train carriages, wheels, trams.
Heathcotes has an extensive Library of Viscoelastic Materials and can select appropriate damping materials for a wide range of applications including very cold applications to very hot engine or vehicle braking applications. Materials are available which can meet stringent aircraft, spacecraft, and computer industry outgassing and flammability requirements.

Electronics  > Computer hard drives, printers, fans.

Automotive > Oil pans, valve timing, push rod and transmission covers, brake pad shims and backing plates.
By the careful choice of materials and locations large reductions in noise and vibration can be made whilst minimising costs and weights. General > Metal containers and boxes, cargo containers, coal chutes, food processing equipment, conveyors.
