Vibration Control – Brochure
An overview of vibration control components engineered to restore comfort and protect adjacent systems. The brochure addresses torsional vibration dampers (decoupled pulleys), engine and gearbox mounts (including hydro and switchable types), suspension strut mounts and chassis bushings—pointing out how rubber formulations and geometries are tuned to specific platforms, including vehicles with start‑stop systems.
Why it matters
A clear specification shortens procurement cycles, prevents mis‑orders, and raises first‑time‑fix rates on the ramp. This document condenses OE know‑how from the Freudenberg Group into practical installation, inspection and maintenance steps that workshops can apply immediately.
Overview
NVH components tuned to platform-specific frequencies: torsional vibration dampers/decoupled pulleys, engine and gearbox mounts (incl. hydro), strut mounts and chassis bushings.
What’s inside
- Failure symptoms (rattle, belt chirp, resonance, cabin buzz) and root causes.
- Rubber formulations, fluid chambers and geometry tuning.
- Fitment notes for start-stop systems and accessory drive layouts.
Selection & service
- Diagnose by frequency/speed/load; inspect adjacent belts/pulleys.
- Replace in pairs on the same axle; observe mount preload.
- Re-torque after settlement when specified by the platform.
Good practice
- Use engine support tools to avoid strain on exhaust/CV joints.
- Document baseline NVH complaint and post-repair outcome.
