Active vibration damping, also known as active vibration control, is a technique for suppressing unwanted vibrations. It works by using an actuator to generate motion that is precisely opposite to the vibration, effectively canceling it out to maintain a stable position. In contrast, passive vibration control relies on materials like springs or damping rubber to absorb and dissipate vibrational energy. Compared to passive methods, active vibration damping offers superior performance in reducing vibration, especially at low frequencies, and in suppressing resonance. Due to their rapid response and high precision, piezoelectric actuators are ideal components for implementing active vibration damping systems.
Matsusada Precision offers a wide range of high-performance piezo actuators and drivers designed for demanding active vibration control applications, including both damping and isolation.
