[Rotary Damper Applications]: Rotary Dampers Used in Automobile

Rotary damper is an invisible but very useful small mechanical components. The main function of rotary damper in a small space installation is to improve safety,more comfortable, longer life cycle time in final products and reducing maintenance costs. The mechanism of rotary dampers provide reducing sudden movement that may cause unexpected accident or injuries. With rotary damper in the final parts, the performance of the moving parts will be more smoothly and comfortable. Rotary dampers can reduce a sudden collision so as to extend the final products life cycle so the reducing maintenance cost is lower down.

In vehicle, rotary dampers are commonly used in various applications where controlled movement is required.For large torque rotary dashpots, they can be used in automobile seats,in the seating position, armrest, headrest,pedal or small table in the back of vehicle seats,etc . And for small torque damper,such as plastic gear damper or barrel damper, now it is popular find in automobile interior and rotary damper outer interior. Rotary damper can be used in glove box, on sunroof, in the sunglass box in automobile, vehicle cupholder, interior grab handle, fuel filler lid for automobile, or EV charge socket lids,etc.

Rotary Damper Used in Automobile Seat/ Armrest

When adjusting the position of auto seat, the vehicle seats with rotary dampers provide with smooth motion-controlled movement. With rotary damper , the auto seat helps to slow down any sudden movement preventing jarring or jerky movements that could be uncomfortable for the passengers.

Rotary Damper in Glove Box  

With rotary damper, the lids of glove box can be slowly in closing or opening the box. Without  dampers, glove boxes would sometimes slam shut when sudden closing . It may potentially cause damage or injury.

Rotary Damper Used in Sunroof  

Rotary damper can be used in the overhead roof console. The mini rotary dampers provide   smooth and softly opening and closing performance for sunroofs while preventing them from slamming shut due to gravity or wind forces.

Rotary Damper in Grab Handle

Rotary dampers are commonly used in auto grab handles to provide smooth and controlled movement. The damper is typically installed between the handle and its mounting bracket, allowing for easy rotation while also providing resistance to sudden movements or impacts and with spring to strength the external force on grab handle. When people grab the handle and suddenly release the grab handle, the grab handle can softly resume to its original position with the support of rotary damper  (barrel damper) together with spring.

Rotary Dashpot in Fuel Filler Cover / EV Charger Lid  

When closing the lids of Fuel Filler Cover, the lids can be soft-closed without slamming shut on the aid of rotary damper.  

For automobile, rotary dampers provide an essential role in improving safety standards within vehicles while also enhancing comfort levels experienced during driving. With its ability to offer precise control over rotational motion across different automobile applications like automobile seats,glove box open/close mechanisms,grab handles ; sunroof operations - there's no doubt about why this innovative solution has become increasingly popular for automobile makers worldwide!
