Spring Legs

We make a distinction as to whether this is a pure vibration damper (friction damper) or a vibration damper with integrated spring support (spring leg, suspension). These products are delivered in very high quantities to the worldwide producers of fully automatic washing machines (household and commercial). In addition, they are also used in various industrial applications.

  • FB 006 - the adaptable damper with outer spring

    flexible when it comes to installation lengths, with high spring rate

     

    This spring leg is a support system with an external spring. This allows for the combination with a high spring rate, which allows for higher load-bearing capacity of the spring/damper unit.

    Customer-specific solutions are possible.

  • FB 008 - the adaptable damper with inner spring

    flexible when it comes to installation lengths, cost-effective solution

     

    This cost-effective spring leg is a support system with an internal spring. The clever arrangement of the spring inside the tube optimally protects it from external influences.

  • FB 18 FL - the innovative damper with spring

    for noise and vibration-optimization with integrated spring function

     

    The technical basis for this spring leg is the successful friction damper series RD 18 / RD 18 FL. The proven Free Stroke System was adopted by the RD 18 FL and adapted to the specific spring leg requirements. With the spring leg characteristics achieved in this way, it is possible to realize a tremendous running smoothness for the first time in spring leg washing machines. Due to this advancement, the spring leg FB 18 FL is ideal for the most demanding acoustic requirements.

  • FB 006 FK - the flexible damper with spring

    flexible when it comes to installation lengths, with soft linear response behavior

     

    Building on the proven concept of the FB 006, the Soft Start System was also integrated with this spring leg. This makes it possible to realize a gentle starting characteristic, which also serves to significantly reduce transmitted vibrations and noises.
