Wide Application of Dampers in Many Areas

Damper is a device that can provide resistance to movement and consume movement energy. It is not a new technology for human to absorb shock by using damper, various dampers (or shock absorbers) have been used to reduce vibration in aerospace, aviation, military, guns, and automobiles, people have gradually applied these technologies to structural projects such as buildings, bridges, and railways since the 1970s. Then with the development of solar industry, damper began to be used in solar tracker to stabilize solar tracker to solve wind vibration, thus solar tracker can work more safe when exposed to wind shocks. Although damper is just a component for the whole system, it is essential, without the damper, investors’ benefits will be damaged, more importantly, safety cannot be guaranteed which is a vital thing for every construction.
