PLP Vortx - Vibration Damper and Protector Rods
The VORTX Vibration Damper responds to wind-induced line vibration that is characterized by high-frequency, low-amplitude motion commonly known as aeolian vibration. The large and small weights of the VORTX dampers can achieve greater power dissipation and frequency response performance than "symmetrical weight" Stockbridge damper designs. Wider frequency coverage translates into better span protection as energy is more effectively dissipated over the entire range of natural frequencies.
