Active vibration damping, or active vibration control, is a technique used to suppress external disturbances by generating a counter-force. The system uses an actuator to create motion precisely opposite to the detected vibration, canceling it out in real-time to maintain a stable position.
Unlike passive control, which relies on springs or rubber dampers to absorb energy, active damping actively corrects displacement. This provides superior performance, particularly in suppressing low-frequency vibrations and resonance that passive methods cannot eliminate.
Piezoelectric actuators are the preferred component for these systems due to their rapid response speed and nanometer-level precision. Matsusada Precision offers a wide range of piezo actuators and high-voltage drivers optimized for demanding active vibration isolation and damping applications.
