Key features

  • Damper not activated at low/non-critical vibration amplitudes
  • Free longitudinal and rotational movement, important for long cables where temperature changes and deflections are critical
  • Easy inspection and extremely low maintenance
  • Easy adjustability at any time to match working amplitudes
  • Efficiency independent of acceleration/mode of vibration
  • New generation of friction materials used ensuring high endurance and constant performance
  • Extra long cable testing demonstrated that the Maximum Passive Supplemental Damping for 1st to 4th mode vibrations was always achieved, even in tests on shallow cables with equivalent lengths up to 500m
  • Available to fit on any size of the BBR HiAm CONA stay cable range
