Single-Mass Dual-Mode Damper

Through a patented process and optimized design, Metaldyne delivers a single crankshaft damper that functions as two, controlling both crankshaft torsion and crankshaft bending. Our dual-function damper provides a significant reduction in cost, weight, and complexity from its dual mass counterpart, with equally high performance in vibration control and sound quality.

• Holds torsion frequency constant while changing bending frequency, allowing engine flexibility for consistent performance.
• Eliminates the interaction of additional damper, reducing tuning complexity and development time
• Provides cost savings of up to 40%
• Offers weight savings in excess of 20%
