AEG Torsional Damper - brief description

By

American Engineering Group (AEG) has developed a new “Dual Torsional Damper System”. This new AEG system design will allow varying static properties and provide dynamic shock and vibration mitigation over a wide load range for automotive and industrial applications. This dual structure system provides both axial and radial damping. The torsional damper system will have two elastomer elements with top element functions as a vibration damping element and the bottom spherical elastomer element as a noise & harness damping element.

AEG dual mode damper system includes a spherical soft viscous bushing hub designed for being rigidly connected to a drive shaft, and an inertia ring, connected to the hub by means of a thin Polyurethane material layer. This dual-layer elastomer damper system is designed for torsional vibration reduction of the crankshaft system on multi-cylinder engine for vehicles. AEG polyurethane torsional dampers are designed to provide significant reduction of sound and vibration in various types of powertrain systems, protecting engine and transmission component from excessive wear. By reducing torsional vibration, component life is increased while providing greater operator comfort and better service life. This unique AEG damper design is desirable for truck, off-road vehicle, marine, agricultural, and military vehicle engine application where higher performance torsional damping and vibration eliminating solutions are a major priority.

AEG Torsional Damper performance

  • Dual mode torsional damper(Patent pending)
  • Viscous soft elastomer spherical hub eliminate transmission noise
  • Polyurethane elastomer torsional damper reduces torsional vibration that contributes to gear NVH and wear in transmission.
  • Self-aligning spherical hub eliminate concentricity concerns
  • Torsional stiffness up to 900ft-lbs of torque capacity
  • The design was presented in SAE 2008 World Congress held in Detroit.MI in April 2008 .Please follow the link below for the official publication

Focused Engineering Solutions by AEG

By
Focused Engineering Solutions for the Manufacturing Supply Chain by American Engineering Group Computer-Aided Design, Engineering and Manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) are tools that help reduce costs and shorten the design, prototype and production cycle. These computer-aided tools can also help to incorporate Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing and Just-In-Time (JIT) in the supplier processes bringing credibility to new design concepts. American Engineering Group (AEG) is utilizing these tools to provide a Multisourcing Manufacturing Solution (MMS) by bringing new automotive components to the marketplace in the shortest possible time, with the lowest cost, and highest quality. CAD/CAE/CAM are becoming more popular as a standard analysis tools in the automotive industry for design, failure and manufacturing process analyses. Another notable reason for this popularity is the recent changes in automotive specification requirement for parts comprised of new materials or designs. The automotive ind

Self-contact in rubber/foam components: jounce bumper

By
Components that deform and change their shape substantially can fold and have different parts of the surface come into contact with each other. In such cases it can be difficult to predict at the outset of the analysis where such contact may occur and, therefore, it can be difficult to define two independent surfaces to make up a contact pair. A jounce bumper, sometimes referred to as a “helper spring,” is a highly compressible component that is used as part of the shock isolation system in a vehicle. It is typically located above the coil spring that connects the wheels to the frame. Microcellular material is used because of its high compressibility and low Poisson's ratio value at all but fully compressed configurations. The bumper initially sits against a fixed flat rigid surface on one end; on the other end, another flat rigid surface is used to model the compression of the bumper. The geometry of the bumper is such that it folds in three different locations. Separate surfaces
