Motion control

Using dampers for slow and controlled movement

The technology used in dampers makes it possible to slow down the speed of door and lid movement, thanks to the friction of the viscous fluid contained inside.
The more viscous the fluid, the more controlled the movement, thanks to the transformation of the kinetic energy of the object into the thermal energy of the fluid.

The principle behind the operation of dampers is their resistance: as it increases, so does control over the movement of the damper and, therefore, of the door on which it is installed.

The advantages of dampers

Installing dampers on the objects we use most often during the day helps preserve their quality over time by reducing and absorbing door shocks and rebounds, decelerating movements for smooth and controlled operation.

Motion control in automotive applications

Motion control is essential in modern automotive components, where smooth, safe and controlled movement improves both user experience and product durability.

Dampers are widely used in applications such as:

• armrest lids
• automotive handles
• charging ports
• frunk lids
