The torque of a rotary damper
A rotary damper is filled with a viscous fluid, such as a silicone oil or grease, and its torque is determined by the viscosity of the fluid and the shape of the rotor rotating inside the device.
Continuous and non-continuous dampers
There are two types of rotary dampers: continuous and non-continuous. Both of them operate by rotation about a single axis, rotary dampers can provide resistance in clockwise (one-way), anti-clockwise (one-way) or both (two-ways) directions.
Continuous dampers can freely rotate beyond 360°, while non-continuous dampers cannot rotate beyond 360°.
